Hello everyone!
I’m new to the forum and new to jeeping. I bought a 2001 Jeep XJ about a year ago. Did a rear drum inspection and they are tore up! bunch of sand got into the drum. XJ brakes are not anything to write home about. So looking to upgrade to disc brakes for the fact of easy maintenance. But when I bought the jeep I was told that the rear is a D 44. I don’t know much about the D 44 other than it’s a beefier rear axle. Is there only one kind of D 44? are there different kinds? that are something that I should be looking for To determine what kind of D 44 I have? Sorry for so many dumb questions I just don’t know where to start.
Are there any bolt on kit for disc brakes that don’t cost an arm and a leg and that don’t require a lot of modification trying to find something that not overly complex. Kind of lost here. But any help or advice would be greatly appreciated.
