After the brake problems I saw at NACFest, I'm considering rear disks. A lot fewer parts to go wrong. I like the way the Giveaway XJ uses XJ front rotors and calipers, but without a hand brake, I doubt I'd pass PA state inspection (not that I really do anyway, but I'd like to keep it as legal as possible). What does it take to swap in ZJ disk brakes on a Dana 44? I know I've heard about others doing it, but is it pretty much a bolt on affair? I don't mind fabricating stuff, but I'm not sure I trust my welds for anything that could kill me or someone else yet. Skids and shock mounts are one thing, brakes are another.
