I just bought a 1958 Willy's CJ5 and I need to replace the entire brake system. I'm just going to rebuild the drums, does anyone have any suggestions? And or links to brake kits? I am also not sure what year/model brake kits will fit mine.
Thanks!

Don't try to save drums that are badly scored or that have already been turned to their limits. Getting it stopped is as important as getting it running!Originally Posted by newjeep
Here is the link to KWAS brakes - they have everything you need. If the brakes are standard, just look for CJ-5 parts and kits.

Put up some pictures of the critter so we can appreciate it with you.
If you buy new brake lines, paint them before you install them.
Unpainted lines take a nasty white coating after a while and even the stock lines that have a primer on them tend to chip fairly easily. Just something i wish I had done .....
Not really my shop is 12,000 SF and we have room to keep every piece of iron and the trucks inside out of the weather.
