Hey damage_man98, you do realize that you have the same rear diff as me and therefore the conversion using all Ford Falcon EA - EB parts will work for you as well :rolleyes:
I just did another conversion today to a '98 and he was very happy with the results and it all went well. If you gather all the parts and get them ready before hand it is an easy one day job to put it all on and drive away. :D
You can even buy the most of the parts new for far less than you would thick like new rotors $60 each ( slotted a bit more ) and brand new calipers were around $110 each I was told.

uh .. Marcus the TJ has a d44 in the rear not a 35c. But the drum brakes are the same, the stud pattern is the same, the biggest problem I had was the shortness of the hand brake cables.

Yeah might even look into buying all the parts new.
If I get a price I will post it here.
Atleast if I get all the parts new I know they are going to be good. When it comes to brakes I would rather pay the extra and make sure they are good.

Glen some of the prices are like $100/rotor and $150/caliper. If you drop into a wreckers and get all the gear you can get some really good stuff if you look, then decide if you need to get new bits. Check back with the Gojeep website it really is that easy.
cheers phil

yeah I have seen gojeeps site it is very helpfull. Its just a matter of me having the time and effort to find them at the wreckors. probably worth it though for the extra brake lines etc.

at the wreckers you'll get the caliper bracket and dust shield, bolts and studs so it is worth it.

Just to annoy ... saw a dana 60, 3.55 gears, 5 on 4.5 stud pattern with disc brakes from an inter /scout.. growing in a backyard. just needs a grinder and welder to make it fit a TJ (spring pads & trailing arm brackets) [img]tongue.gif[/img]

Sorry guys I thought you had the same rear axle. :rolleyes:
There is also other things that will be different with your D44 as you have a retaining plate for the bearings so will have to work in with that. On this site: http://www.madxj.com/MADXJ/technical...rDiscsOnXJ.htm he shows how to fit ZJ disks to your axle. That should help you with what you will be up against.
:D
