So I've got a 2008 KK and it has rear Drum brakes. Now, I've had more than a few problems with the Drum brakes and I am wondering what everyone here thinks about replacing them with a Disc brake setup. Is this possible? if so, is it worth the effort and expense? What is your opinion on Disc vs Drum for a 4x4?

Just trying to figure it out. :?

Well it looks like a Drum brake. Big-ass drum covering the entire brake assembly in the back.

Unless the Liberty has a drum e-brake over top of the disc assembly... :?:

The drum part is the parking brake, the rear brakes are disc.
