If I get my jeep sorted out I will def Want to go.
I just finished the rear drum brakes and all I have to say is F! drum brakes.. stupid springs.
I would almost guess the stuff I pulled off was factory, both self adjusters were snapped, everything was coated in 1/2 inch of grime and muck. It took longer to clean then to wrestle everything together. I do have like 2x the brake pedal firmness then I had before though so it was worth it.
I do look forward to the ZJ disc brake swap I plan.

a 8.8 with 4.10's,LSD and discs would be nice. Something to consider.
Course, going with 4.10's would mean I'd have to upgrade from the 31's. That would mean a slightly bigger lift/trimming.
How bad would Daily Driving on 4.10's with 31's be? I mean I already get 13.4mpg now.
