thanks for this video man, my brother just got a comanche and we wanted to bring it into this century

I've got a 1993 XJ. I bought it back in September of 2020. Apart from some small Odds-And-Ends that needed some attention, I'll be getting into the Drums-To-Discs conversion. In the meantime, I'm watching a few different channels so I can try & get every trick, plus incite from more than just one person seems to work for me. Thanks for posting your video, it was pretty cool, along with your tips which helped out a lot....

just finished my conversion dude thanks for the tips and tricks saved alot of trials and errors

To fix my cable issue I used a "e-brake clevis" from a late 60's corvette. Cut the spring down and trim the ball (on the end),and done. Have been running that setup for over a 2 years now.

THANKS, VERY HELPFUL!!

lmfao "dr.claw" shit my pants, made my day, great video!

What about the proportioning valve? Drum vs disk.

Very nice, very nice. Im really procrastinating on doing my disc conversion on my TJs 44. Mainly because slide hammer and well I might as well do WJ rotors and calipers.

Do you think it’s best to just source a backing plate from the junk yard and buy new ZJ rotors/pads/calipers online?

Did you install a new axle shafts ? What happened to the old ones ? Broke or twisted splines ? Or did you just paint and add new wheel studs ? ........... Also , did you grab the proportioning valve off of the ZJ ? The stock XJ valve will keep pressure on the rear brakes ( as drum brakes need some pressure on them constantly vs disks that dont ) ....... You can just replace the internals of your valve with the internals of a ZJ one ...

+Norman Murray Chromoly Shafts, didn't break the old, just figure I'd upgrade now since it's all apart. Found out I had a newer style Proportioning Valve that was identical to the ZJ one I grabbed. Compared to my original valve, the only difference I saw was spring length.

I did this same thing with my D35 non C clip. I wouldn't do it again. It was the biggest pain in the ass! I couldn't get the spacing right with the thicker ZJ backing plates. Having to press everything on and off. What a nightmare!! Just save your time and money and do a Ford 8.8 swap. It comes with discs already if it's out of a 96-01 exploder. They're stronger than a Dana 44 and easier to work on with the C clips. They say, "well what if the axle breaks? Won't your axle just walk out and just crash and burn?" The answer is no the disc breaks will hold in the axle shaft so you can limp it off the trail! My $0.02 but I've been there done that now I'm swapping in the 8.8. Lesson learned. Hopefully I can share some wisdom.

Wow.... That was a lot of work! Good job, man! I *just* changed the shoes on my drums a few days ago, so I'm good for another decade or so. Would you recommend this swap? Do you think it was worth all your trouble? I was hesitant to do this for the reasons you address at the beginning - the performance improvement is quite small with rear drums vs rear discs. I suspect I'll just end up swapping in a whole axle from something with discs before my new shoes wear out again. Very informative! Thank you! :)

The braking improvement over properly adjusted drums was minimal, but i feel the disks work a little better when muddy. The biggest reason I like this swap is that I don't have to adjust them every time I go in the mud. They are always tight and I never have to worry about them. Good reassurance to have when you're at the top of a hill and would like to not pummel into the back of someone else at the bottom. I'm thinking with an adjustable proportioning valve, they would feel amazing, but for now they are consistently good. For me, they were absolutely worth the trouble and I'd do it again. If you don't play in mud or water and your brakes self adjust, you're probably not missing out on much.

Doesn't sound very obvious to me. One method required modifying a backing plate, the other requires cutting and modifying axle mounts. I've got a flux core welder that I wouldn't feel comfortable with attaching structural axle components with. I also don't feel liking hauling an entire axle out of a junk yard in unknown condition to swap with a perfectly good axle, and let's not forget mine is already regeared and locked. So no, that would not be smart for me. I went with a Dana 44 later and this setup swapped right over with some sanding.

Nice swap, but not as easy as I would've liked, so I'll keep the drums :D (Plus here brake mods are a bitch to pass inspection). I can adjust them from time to time just fine.

Few things. First it depends if you have a c-clip axle or not. Since My dana 35 is non c-clip, it uses an axle retainer plate which is sandwiched on the axle shaft bearing stack. I had to use the new retainer plate since it has the correct spacing to hold everything in place. Second, I have aftermarket axle shafts which were incorrectly machined. Because of this, I needed to use the stock retainer plate as a spacer to make everything fit. On a correct setup you will not do this, just mount everything up as usual and discard the stock retainer plate.

+Ken MacMillan Used baking plates are fine and the Jeep/Dodge dealer will charge you up the AZZ. He replaced the calipers with reman and he purchased new flex brake lines that go to the calipers and new emergency brake shoes...so, what did you miss?

here's what I made up for my rear brake cables www.nwjeepn.com/images/Axle/Ebrakeadapter.pdf also refer to www.nwjeepn.com/Axleswap4.html

Not Bad, I knew the stock cable were a bit longer so that's an interesting solution. I'd probably try that if both my cables still worked properly but I may just buy the Teraflex cables since they should work perfectly.

NickInTimeFilms You probably should have swapped proportioning valves from the ZJ also, going from drums to discs.

Do a video of you replacing those fucking leaf springs.. Or do they come flat!!

Part of the Shackel Box, gives a better shackle angle but at the cost of a flatter leaf. Not like I need any more lift anyway.

you could have just done a direct swap from a 8.25 with disc...

From my knowledge the Chrysler 8.25 didn't get disk brakes until the Liberty came out, and that is not a direct swap. Unless you meant a Ford 8.8 which you could get with disks but that still requires new mounts welded on. Nice thing with my setup was it swapped fairly easily over when I went to a Dana 44.

NickInTimeFilms it is a direct swap because it’s the same axle

The KJ Liberty is coil sprung in the rear so it's 8.25 won't have the proper leaf perches that the XJ 8.25 has. You could swap KJ Disks onto an XJ 8.25 and then it would be a direct fit, but that's basically what I had to do with my D35 which was already locked and geared.

NickInTimeFilms nooo not the whole axle just the swapping of the brakes I don’t understand why everyone touches the zj for it

I can't directly confirm this, but I would assume the 8.25 Backing Plates are different then the Dana 35/44, so they will probably require modification as well or may not even work properly. The ZJ is a popular donor vehicle because it uses a Dana axle so parts swap easier.

i really like your videos... but... why you snniffff all the time??? it start to annoying me 😂
