It's a fair amount of wrenching, but straightforward. It took me a few afternoons but I'm an old phart with bad knees and arthritis. A spry young'n could probably knock it out in a day no problem. Not all that expensive and a great upgrade with much better braking and easy servicing for the future.
I used one of Big David's conversion kits and got the necessary new parts through rockauto.com. Additionally, 1991Jeep_Man came up with custom brackets that make mounting the brake hoses a breeze. Well worth it if he's still offering them.
A quick before & after pic - which setup would you rather work on?

Well, I just put new shoes and hardware but the drums got their final turn so I'll be switching to discs in a year or two lol. Thanks for the info though, that's definitely going on the wish list.
