if you want help with where to get parts i just did a full disc brake conversion on my dana 60 and it's went together perfectly, and it wil only around $200 opposed to the $800 that most kits cost

if you want help with where to get parts i just did a full disc brake conversion on my dana 60 and it's went together perfectly, and it wil only around $200 opposed to the $800 that most kits cost I thought about it, but i think the drums will do me just fine for the time being. As you can see from the title im not diving into a pool of cash so im kinda taking on more than i can afford and doing everything i want may take awhile so the disks will probably wait for later. Just for future reference i wouldn't mind knowing though, i've heard you can try to find disks off chevy d60 rears out of JY's for cheap. BTW: Anybody that has any input about my build feel free to throw your ideas in. Most of the build will be done by me and my father. My father has a stick welder and knows some stuff and i know the general stuff about jeeps but as far as swaps like this ive never really done any of it so any info is welcome. |

No sir, unless i need to sit for 20 minutes with a wire wheel in the same spot it doesn't work. Maybe its just me but when i started cleaning off my axles i thought the same thing, wire wheel should do it....nope sat there for like 5 minutes didnt do a thing. It seems like the wheel just slides right across the chrome instead of digging in. |
