no worries eric!  but truth be told, i've let Lemon Aid Jay work on my junk too, and he's good too! lol

sounds like a pretty good solution for ya pook! grab some used rotors and continue your debate!

I have replaced my rotors with the $30 special from Crappy Tire and they work just fine.  My last set of brake pads lasted 3 years and that was running 31s and 33s and a lot of wheeling.  From what I have read during my web wheeling, the slotted rotors are not worth the money as they don't really improve braking.  If you want some good pads check out EBC

CT has a buy one get the other rotor at 1/2 price sale on right now as well

my garage is too full to lend the space but let me know how it works out. been using napa stuff for a couple of years on own/customers cars and kinda let down, espesially for the price they charge, autovalue deals with worldpac which gets brembo stuff, very good parts.

In regards to the "recall" on the WJ Brakes.. it wasnt a recall but an extended service allowance in regrads to the WJ rotors warping. Most manufacturers have an initial grace period on the friction material, on the WJ's its was extended and there were "upgraded " parts available for the TSB, however, they warp aswell.


In regrads to the techs knowing if front rotors are Original fitment or not? There is a  clip on the rotor installed at the factory. If its gone the recall cannot be performed.

Any good tech that has been servicing JEEPS can spot a OEM rotor. The guys at Big 4 have been pretty good, There are a couple newr techs there but they have a pretty good crew.

if you've gone this long on a set of stock WJ rotors thats just plain impressive..................

dude, when it comes to brakes, steering and tires. dont cheap out. those are the 3 most important things on your vehicle. if you dont want dealership parts then go aftermarket. but spend the extra cash and get good parts.
p.s. thanks for the kind words johnny!

I totally agree. after some of my experience with cheap brake pads, I will always buy Raybestos Premium brake parts. It isn't worth cheaping out. I had an Intrepid years ago and opted for cheaper pads as recommended by a mechanic, and I was very surprised at the lack of stopping power the cheap ones had. It was scary! NEVER again!
