I'm probably going to be getting my brakes checked this weekend.

Not until recently did I check the brakes myself and I realized that the back 2 wheels have drum brakes and the front two have disc brakes. And I assume the emergency brake is a drum as well; just well incorporated into the rear drums.

Has anyone ever converted their rear drums to discs? I was thinking about doing that, if possible, + replacing the front brake pads but keeping the E-brake a drum purely for reliability.

rear discs are a big improvement.
i went with a trail gear kit, and will get an all pro transfer case e-brake.
you can go with skye manufacturing disc kit that you supply your own gm calipers with
integrated e-brake, caddy calipers i think.

Nice to see someone else had the same idea.

I'll look into these, thanks.

If you didn't know you had a disc/drum setup or how the ebrake operates, maybe you should let someone else do the work.
Not to be nasty, but for safety's sake

lol, I didn't know purely because I never looked enough to care.

But thanks...I guess.
