Finally finished this project. Ended up with a couple of versions. By using the early XJ knuckles I was able to bolt on bigger front brakes. Didn't have to redo the track bar or steering, welding, etc. Uses all stock XJ parts- hubs, stub axles, ball joints, steering, track bar, etc.
From the stock XJ 11" rotors and single piston calipers to 12", 13" and 14" rotors and dual piston calipers.
Version 1 for 15" wheels bolts on 12" rotors and WJ akebono calipers.
Version 2 for larger wheels bolts on 13.2" rotors and calipers off Mustang.
Version 3 bolts on 14" rotors off GT500 and Mustang calipers.
All three are an incredible improvement from stock. Better stopping and zero fade.
Highly recommend upgrading the front brakes on any XJ with any mods, especially bigger tires and wheels and added weight from armor, winches, etc.
