Default rear disc brake conversion

So a while back I was on the forum and a guy was talking about how he wanted to start selling the rear disc brake conversion kit. Well now I want it and can't find any info on it. Does anyone know what all I need to convert my 94 cherokee sport to rear disc brakes?

I have a thread about my disc brake conversion, there is a guy on here who sells them (can't remember the username at the moment). There are many threads about it on many forums if you google it.

I'm guessing it was an honest mistake. Sometimes people make them you know.

Happy Easter!

And a lot of people just don't care, and these people are usually enabled by people who are horrified at the thought of ever holding anybody accountable in any way (and usually manage to be quite sanctimonious about it, as if it were something good).

I do believe that you two are making the same point, just in different ways.
Regardless, I agree with you both

You can buy a kit, or get a Jeep Liberty with an 8.25 Rear in back and strip it rear brakes off and install them, or get the ZJ Rear Disc Brakes and get a good metal bit and take about 1/16 - 1/32nd out of the inner bore of the backing plate and bolt them on, I have about $200 doing the ZJ Brakes on a budget buying junkyard calipers and mount, backing plate and getting parking brake cable, parking brake shoes, and disc brakes and rotors from the parts store. (I used every discount and coupon I could, went to 1/2 off day at the local PicknPull junkyard, and found the cables on someone who bought but never used them, heck I even knocked out the wheel studs at the junkyard axle and took them..... ya I am a cheap bastard)
