XJ disk brake conversion
Hey everyone! I was hoping you all can tell me what the best donors are to convert my 99 XJ 8.25" over to disk brakes? I know you can use newer Libertys or certain year Grand Cherokees; but what years work the best (or at all)? Thanks!!!

The other issue is that ZJs are much more plentiful in the salvage yards...

The ZJ setup is pretty much bolt up on the 8.25. The only thing you would have to do is take inside of the disk brake mount and sand it down. Very easy to do.
