That's great Ethan. Can't beat the price, either. Remember to write down the year of the truck and the production month and year in your records. This way when you are sourcing brake parts and the like later, you'll have this info. Some brake parts changed in the middle of model year runs.
2002 LR DII SE Kalahari Edition. 4.6, locking CDL, and Detroits.
1994 LR RRC LWB. EAS conversion w/ +2" springs.
1968 LR SIIA 88" Hybrid, with 109" 1 ton axles SOA. Needs Tartis for completion.

1979 LR SIII 5 door 109 SW, 11 seater. Sold, 09'.
1997 Disco I Bobtailed buggy conversion. Sold, 11'.

yes and if you use the brakes from the d1 but you will have to plug one of the lines on each side as rrc's use two lines to feed the brakes on each side where the d1 uses one on each side.

you will need to break it down and swap the outer stuff lol. Ok you need to swap in the whole axle the pull the rotors from the odl axle and swap them onto the d1 axle. No biggie just swap on the rotors then bolt on the rrc calipters good togo!!
