Here's mine-- JY backing plates and calipers off a D35 from a 98 Grand Cherokee.

Here it is installed.

 

Wow, that looks awesome man. Super clean... very nice

 

Its an easy coversion i did mine in 3 hours just grab the parts off a grand cherokee it makes breaking 10x easier

 

i pulled an axle from a zj in a junkyard for $80 bucks with the brakes in about an hour then pulled them off put new pads in the calipers. you need to grind the inside of the backing plate and caliper bracket but thats easy with a die grinder it doesnt need much. i still have the axle to sell but it shouldnt be much more than $50 for the whole swap when i do

 

/\ /\ /\ /\ /\ have anymore pics of that conversion
