Re: 02 Wrangler Brake Rotor Fiasco
 

Yeah, IIRC, the rotors, and hub bearings changed in 99. The Cheaper, 99
and earlier rotors will work if you change to the 99 and eearlier version
of the hub bearing as well. Dimensions are slightly
different....something to keep in mind for when you inevitably need to
change your hub bearing units as well.
