Park it until you can afford proper brake equipment, brakes aren't something to mess around with. If you need to have the car on the road that bad, and your current rotors are absolutely toast, go pull a pair from a junkyard.

Not sure where you're located but I have a set of rotors/calipers/pads that I bought new and put on my daughters 96 Cherokee for a total of about 300 miles before she crashed it. You can have for $80 plus ship. Crash nothing to do with brakes. Failure to yield right of way, Uggh.

Some listing show 90-99, others show 92-99. I know 89 has a different offset. Good luck.

Sam, times can be difficult and money can be tight but what you're asking from us is something we cannot help you with. Brakes are not something you can cut corners or should skimp on. I don't like seeing threads like these but if you're not going to properly fix your brakes then your only option is to park your Jeep until you can.

To answer your question directly, you can use Grand Cherokee 1993-1998, Wrangler 1990-1999 or Cherokee 1990-1999. Don't know of anything else that would be a direct swap.

You don't mess around with brakes man. It's unethical to do a ****ty brake job I say. You may be happy putting your life at risk, but others on the road sure aren't. Sorry to tell you but you need to save up or borrow to get something proper. If all you need is rotors, shouldn't cost all that much.

They're 30 bucks each at O'Reilly's, possibly cheaper at Auto Zone.

$14 each is the least expensive at Rockauto, but shipping is near $20 for the pair. Still that gets you a set for about $45.

What's wrong with the current set of rotors. Could you have them resurfaced?

I'm glad you bit the bullet and bought new brakes.Brakes are something you never wanna take a chance on your life might depend on them one day.
