good enough price and works fine ! only thing is i saw the drum rotors surface rust within a week . orange .. hit it with rustolium @ rotations i suppose . im telling you jeep must have shares in spray can companys . Lets face it , you need cases after cases of spray cans during ownership of a jeep . somthing no other vehicle ive ever owned needed so often . The fact is they are rust pigs . worst rust issues ive ever seen on any vehicle . But i believe its China the metal USA is using , has rust in every thing to start with,cheap metal or somthing . ive never seen anything turn so rusty so fast in my life . Can you say GARRRBAGE maybe i should just buy a rusty brown color paint for underside so it all blends well

JK Junkie
my factory ones were way worse
lol and mines a 2012 . but we have heavy salt calcium in winter , my pads wernt even hitting the surface cuz of the rust formation and pitting
all working ok now though with new stuff but i never replaced rear brakes on a vehicle at 20,000 mile before either lol seems to me things are a little different with a jeep . rather than trucks anyway, oh well we do what we have to i guess . I still like my jeep even though its not the quality i expected up front. But I still wouldnt trade it in . now that most things seem to be going well on it now . (knock on wood) battery replacement before winter is next . its almost 4 years old this november and battery has never failed or even started slow. but cant afford to find out the hard way.
you can see the winter salt is bad in photos lol and no that gusset wasnt welded in pic just wanted to see what direction it went

Just do the battery now. I went through 2 mopar batteries. 1 of which was still under 3 year 36k. You are gonna need a new one for sure they are shit quality.

Have you considered the 'big brake' upgrade?

I was definitely thinking about a bigger brake kit but wanted to save some money for some other essential repairs that my JK needed.
I don't really have much problems with the brakes. I'm only running 33's.
