Rear Disc Conversion was created by Mud_Muppet

Right whos got one ?, my samurai got one and its the best mod i ever did, no washing machine rear drums killing my rear shoes every offroad trip. Doesnt seem so common on Jimnys tho ?? Cant find any companies that advertise it i.e OFR or rays..

I would take it off my Sammy and put it on my Jim but we did such a good welding it on it wont come off cleanly

2001 Red Tin Top,
4.5 inch ORA lift kit,
Pro Comp steering damper
Kap Winch Bumper,
White Weller offset Rims with 30" Insa Turbo Special Tracks,
CB Radio,
Stripped Interia
Roof Rack with 4 front Wipac,
Rear Wipac recovery Lights
.....Plenty more on its way !!!!

Baz used to have them on his when he had it. Rover 400 calipers but i'm not sure on the discs. Its something i'd like to do in the future to get around adjusters seizing in the drum and having to bleed the brakes whenever i need to do the bearings.

Black Jimny's don't get stuck!

we've just put a muddy zook conversion on ours - not been offroad in it yet but the brakes are 100% better

used the Jimny's winch yesterday to pull out some large bush roots with the jimny just held on the handbrake

used to roll away buy itself on the old handbrake :unsure:

it uses jimny discs and rover 200/400/25/45 rear calipers - just make sure you also get the caliper carriers and the handbrake cables as well

apparently Rob Storr used to do one as well
