I know there is a way to convert to disk brakes in the rear by swapping over parts for the early path finders. However this seems to be a lot of work, especially if you don't have the specialized pullers for the bearings, and parts to where you would be getting to the cost of swapping in a more common rear axle. With many other common axles in the offroad world they sell caliper mounting brakets such as this one for the 14 bolt https://www.ebay.com/i/121822765035?chn=ps&mkevt=1&mkcid=28 . This leads me to wonder if something similar has been done on the h233b?
This way you could use the same caliper's you use up front if you could find the correctly back spaced and thickness rotors making the parts much simpler to find as it is already starting to be a mismatch of different parts.
If no one has tackled this before I was thinking about that being my winter project as I just had my passenger side drum adjuster fall out and ruin my drum shoes after running it through a mud bog pit half a dozen times then driving 5 hours on the trail to recover a flopped tj.
