XJ D44 Disk Brake Conversion

[Fred]

Well I just committed to the pucrchase of the components from a ZJ Grand Cherokee rear disk brake set up from Grape Ape, and I will be converting my XJ D44 to rear disks.
I won't pick up the parts till next but figured i'd start this write up now.


These are the parts I got minus the axle itself, I helped sell that to another member here.
I am using Stu Olsens write up on this so we will see if its as easy as he makes it sound

Yep, one was from Stu's site (man he has a LOT of stuff on his site!!)
And I believe this one: http://www.jeepforum.com/forum/f11/z...-truth-607435/

The one from Jeep Forum, is for an 8.25, but is very similar.

I believe the D44 swap is easier to do. Stu has a very detailed write up.

I will be watching this! I want to eventually put a Dana 44 with disc brakes in the rear of the Comanche.

Found a few D44's within driving distance......
