WJ ZJ or KJ disc conversion

As for a comparison to the WJ??????
Virtually every high-end build is running Baer, Wilwood, or Brembo.........not WJ brakes.

I have high expectations.

No it did not.

WJ brakes are the byproduct of steering and TB geometry........that is the job at hand.

I would love to have crossover steering, but not at the expense of braking and not at the expense of TB geometry.

Can I fabricate? sure. Can I cobble something up for braking? possibly.


I've been through EVERY freak'n WJ thread, read every word, learned from every mistake others have made..........seen every F'n hack job too.
To get the TB right takes a lot of work and some sacrifice of other parts and arrangements such as sway bar mounts........just not worth if for me. Others done the full WJ axle swap to get there.............

If you think WJ brakes are a bolt-on wonderment............dream on.

All you've done is make trail repairs impossible with "not readily" available parts! Your braking will be about the same
