Can we just agree to disagree? lol

Here is the conversion kit that I was interested in. The only thing that it says you may possibly have to do some grinding on the steering knuckle and its pretty straight forward on install. http://shop.rp4wd.com/product/kits-disc-5

The kit I looked at said the factory wheels would clear the calipers. So that is not an issue. quickfarms, I'm probably comparing apples to oranges, but yes drums do have more surface for stopping, but with drum breaks they are pushing out to the drum as apposed to disc brakes having the caliper...

Stopping power. Even with non-power disc brakes it would stop better. Also parts would be more availible. I believe the kit I looked at had a GM truck calipers and used GM brake pads, which are readily availible. Instead of having to find brake shoes or trying to find a place to re-shoe them.

Found one on Jungle Jim's Jeep parts for $785.00 and thats all the parts. Seemed a little steep to me. I wasn't sure if there were any later model CJ5's that came with disc brakes that you could swap onto the military axle.

Has anyone ever done this and if so what parts/ mods do you have to do to achive this? Any help is appreciated!
