I have a 1993 XJ Country. Everywhere I look or ask about front brake rotors or back brake shoes I have to choose between two sizes... what gives?? How do I know what I have?? It is beyond impractical for me to remove my wheels and break out a measuring device. One place ask if it is a police package and another ask if the back breaks are 9 inch or 10 inch... Ahhh crap.

 

Why not? how else do you plan on finding out what size drum you have?

 

ID your rear axle. A D35 would be 9" brakes.. the 8.25 "might" be 10", not 100% sure on that but a google search should be definative.

The earlier XJ D44 rears are 10" as well.

 

4" lift... 31" tires... no jack lol

 

I have a D35... so 9"? Are you sure?

 

what happens when you get a flat lol

U can see the drum from the inside of the rear wheel, all u need is ruler.

pretty sure my c81/4 was 10" if any axle would have smaller drums it would be the 35

 

I don't get flats. However... if by some chance the winds were not in my favor and a mighty flood washes a bunch of tire flattening things my way and then my tire(s) burst some how... well, I would be walking for sure.

 

Eventually I will have money and I will have the tires and equipment I would need to change a flat. Time and money... life sucks sometimes. At least my girlfriend is good looking and loves me.

I'm 99% sure..

 

Thank you

 

10 inch drums have fins/ gooves. the 9 inch ones dont.

I have a 8.25 axle and had the 9inch drums.

 

its okay, i lost my tire iron kicking some kids out of my friends house party, managed to find a new one at the metal scrapping yard haha stole it from their pile.

Idea about your gf,
We should start a pic thread and see who can get the most fly chicks in their XJ, that would certainly bring some new members to this site.

 

I have grooves, i guess i have the 10. I remember being at the shop and they popped that question, i had my dad measure and relay the info, still could have sworn it was ten but who know who cares

 

Ohhhh La la

I actually have a pic of her next to my Jeep in my pics link to the left.
