XJ to Liberty disc brake swap.
Well, today I called my not so local U Pull it yard and asked if they had a 01-07 Liberty laying around. Now for the record I have been to SO MANY places and called more and its crazy how much they wanna sell a rear diff that wont bolt up to you. Also, forget about asking them to part the rear either cause its a mute point. Anyway I got lucky and found a Liberty at this yard so I went there and yanked every thing off with one stipulation, I had to put the rear back together. NO SWEAT I SAID, and did my thing. I have the full monty, E-brake cables for comparison to XJ/KK, calipers with soft and hard lines as assemblies, rotors and backing plates and studs as assemblies. All for $100 and it took 2.5 hrs to do in the freezing suck *** snowy weather. It was worth it!! Also the swaps for the 15" wheels as well so I can keep my stockers. I just wanna thank EVERYONE who shares info for our community. I would not have been able to get my rig together the CORRECT way if it wasn't for the threads on the swaps themselves. I dont believe that I have to include future photos and instructions on the swap but what I will do is solve the issue of the notorious E- brake cable by doing the homework and sharing to all. THANK YOU

I will do so. As far as the E-brake cables the issue of running into cables to long or short for Ebrake function to work. Didnt a thread I read say someone had some issues? I read so many I cant recall at all who said it. I talked to Ryan at Teraflex and he claims the 66" long cable TeraFlex 4304171 - TeraFlex Jeep Emergency Brake Cable Kits, will fit the swap on the 8.25. Does anyone have these cables? what have others used, cause now Im lost somewhere on some info.

I found that with the ZJ cables, I was able to use only the passenger side on my XJ, for the driver's side. For passenger, the ZJ one is very short. I ended up getting NAPA part #95064 which was more than long enough. I have working E-brake again!

You can get both for less than $1.50, you just need to look around.
