Just watched you video, very well done! I’m getting ready to a similar conversion on my ‘68 Glad with Dana 44’s. Can you send me the dims of 1/4” plate you made for your rear disk brakes?

[@abresendiz]

Great video, i from Mexico, and i like for my wagoneer 69, Which vehicles are the accessories to use in the conversion? Discs, calipers, the plate where the caliper is mounted, thanks

[@bigears4426]

The master cylinders are different on disc drum models , you can modify yours

[@1958wvpicker]

Where do you find the conversion kit

[@SgtvVv]

What axle was this?

[@pucevelour]

Did you ever upload the brake booster video? I don't see it on your channel, but maybe I'm blind.

Hi Outdoor guy, I'm in Australia and planning a front disc brake conversion on a 72-73 J4000 with a Dana 44 closed knuckle front axle. To the best of your knowledge are the parts the same for the J4000? Parts for Jeep and Chevy are not so common here and I'm having real trouble finding Jeep parts that seem easy to come by in the States, I can order them from the States but freight is nearly as much as the parts price unfortunately. Oh and thanks for your guide and info :-)

[@outdoorguy5485]

+J Grieve Thanks for watching my video. I would assume they are the same. Dana is an axle that was used with several automobile companies.

[@user-ht1xu4gv2u]

Hi what's the part nums or years the rotors calipers kits pads. You used....power brake master. Cyl too great job

[@stevenharden803]

What did you do with the combination valve/ proportioning valve????

[@outdoorguy5485]

Generic 4 wheel disk brake valve from Jegs

[@davidjohnson7445]

Did you tack weld the studs in the rotor I thought I saw that in the video?

[@outdoorguy5485]

+David Johnson I cant remember. shouldnt have to

[@outdoorguy5485]

+David Johnson Looking back yes i did tack weld the studs on that side because the hub was wore out on that side. the studs were not fitting tight. This is only because the hub was wore. the new studs should fit snug.

[@rchoudini]

Will this conversion work on 1967 Kaiser Gladiator?

[@outdoorguy5485]

I am not sure.. I havent done any work on them.

[@69holford]

So what did this conversion end up costing you?

[@outdoorguy5485]

I would say for just the front around $200.00. maybe $250.00

[@jasonpall8746]

Will this work on a 1967 gladiator?

[@outdoorguy5485]

I think it will. Do you know what axle you have?

[@outdoorguy5485]

Check out my video on the rear disk brake conversion turned out really good. The stopping power is unreal now.

[@jacobsoule2684]

Will that work on a 55 cj5

[@outdoorguy5485]

i dont know

[@jackjones2381]

They tell me you can put them on a 74 cj5

[@phantomwalker8251]

hubs need to be it free,before removal.

[@outdoorguy5485]

Yes

[@MrJeep75]

That's not Willy's that's a kiaser

[@Submitguru]

Doesn’t this change the lug pattern from the original? I was thinking of just upgrading the front of my 64 J200. Don’t want different lug patterns tho front to rear
