Cleaned it up some, but as you can see there was still some surface rust left... Did as much as I was willing, then I added a little drain plug while it was out, just to make it a little nicer.

how you plan on sealing that drain plug? I don't see there being enough threads there to seal it well, especially since it's not pipe threading.

New bearings and seals in. Just set the rotor and caliper on to get a sneak peek. Still have to set the parking brake up and put the rear end together, before I can actually put the rotors on.

There are many different sources online, and a few good vendors on here that carry them. But these just came from ebay. From a non-vendor so I'll just leave it at that. But they are powerstop rotors which can be sourced from cherokeeforum vendors.

Those rear discs look nice.

Are they the ZJ caliper/backing plate/disc pieces?
What is the diameter and thickness of the rotors?

Thanks.
