Brakin.

So I decided pretty early on when I realized the Jeep needed new brakes all the way around that I was going to go the route of doing the disc brake conversion on the front. Turns out, it's really one of the easier swaps out there to do. Dana axles are pretty darn universal in their caliper bracket mounting and these are no exception - just use caliper brackets from a late 70's Chevy truck (4x4), calipers from the truck, brake hoses, and rotors from a 76' CJ7 and you're basically done. Some other small odds and ends, a little machine work on the stock drum hubs and you're done. Wholla....better brakes!
