    Well that's interesting! I did this conversion on my 1998 XJ 4.0 Ltd and the parking brake has been just, I mean only just, good enough to get through a UK MOT test, which only requires 16% efficiency. I used all new parts. The interesting bit for me is how you put the actuating lever on top of the slide instead of the usual way of having the sliding bit at the top. Trying to work out why the parking brake for a car bigger than a XJ is so useless, I found the lever tries to twist when pulling the handbrake lever. Hopefully turning it upside down will cure that and hopefull make it better. I'm taking it apart tomorrow, we'll see...
    Great video, well filmed and good clear instructions.

      Im doing the KJ swap as well, on my 93 XJ. Waiting for the parts to finish coming in, but the Pick N Pull nearest me (Tacoma, WA) had no less than 5 KJs untouched on rear disc brakes, and at least 4 ZJs to pull soft brake hose and proportioning valve from. Makes me feel sorry for all the posts on forums about junkyards in other states having deficit of either.

      @@ProjectDanH Not completely sure of fitment, but Crown makes the parking lever boots for 2002-2008 KJs, and it looks identical to the shape of one for ZJ. Crown 5093395AA. Got them for $10 each at Morris 4 x4. If they are match, then no need to buy TJ ones and trim the top off (though thats obviously an easy mod). :)

    Really appreciate this video I was concerned about the rubber boot and where to find a replacement. then the fun task on how to piece it all back together with the E brake arms. Thanks for the detailed info! As for the proportioning valve can I use the stock XJ threaded end that screws back into the combination valve? I didn’t grab the one off the ZJ, just the internals. I just as well assumed the screw cap was the same size as the one on the XJ and wasn’t of any importance. All other parts for my disc swap are coming from a KJ for my 8.25 axle. Thanks!

    You can get everything but the proportioning valve from the '02-05 KJ Liberty. Same Corporate 8.25 axle housing with coils, discs, 29 spline shafts and axle gears. No mods to the backing plate as it already fits 8.25 but still need longer bolts. Crown Automotive has the parking brake cables for the conversion too.

    So for the ABS.. can the tone rings off the dana 35 axle shafts can be swapped to the axle shafts of a 8.25? Or do you just swap the entire shaft from d35 into 8.25? Are the shafts interchangeable between the two axles?

When I did my conversion I the KJ swap because the backing plates bolted on my 8.25 with no grinding. Should have used ZJ hoses though. I've always had the best luck with Crown Automotive parts. They used to make disc brake conversion parking brake cables for the XJ, but that was a couple years ago, don't know if they still do. I thought the KJ cables were longer, but I went a different route and ended up removing the parking brake shoes. Good job on the video, been too long since I saw one.

    Really appreciate this video on Prep. I'm doing KJ to XJ, but same things apply for cleaning and painting, etc. My POR15 caliper paint kit just came in,to paint store, so can get it tomorrow. I didn't have tumbler, but Locktite Naval Jelly and wire brush did nice job cleaning up hardware. I was curious why you used the caliper paint directly to metal: POR15 recommends putting the base rust sealing paint on, and then top coating that with the caliper paint. Is the base POR15 not really needed (aka they want you to buy more product and use it)?

    • @ProjectDanH
      @ProjectDanH  Před 3 lety +1

      thanks Andrew I really appreciate the view. regular pore 15 isn't rated for heat so I figured it would crumble off with the caliper paint on top of it so I just bypassed the regular por15 and went straight to the caliper paint. it worked really well sticking to the metal directly but a lot of the places with spilt brake fluid lifted some of the paint. I guess only time will tell if it holds up
