I searched for this but didn’t find anything so if I overlooked it I apologize. I’m looking for a how-to post on how to change the brake pads on a 2000 Sahara? Thanks in advance.

Not to be short but it is pretty straight forward with vids on utube. Once you change them you'll look back and think how easy it was.

Is this your first? Very important to know because the 2000 Sahara rear brake is a drum and is a bit complicated for the rookies.

A good tip is to flush the brake system first, to get any crap out before pushing the piston back into the caliper. Also, be very aware of the torque specs on the caliper mounting bolts. It's pretty easy to strip those out in the knuckles. Black Magic (@mrblaine) sells a kit to fix that issue if it happens, but it is avoidable.
Set your jack stands well. Do one side at a time so you have something to look at. Really not much to it for the fronts. TJ's are easy on brakes. I always replace the rotors when I do mine. It's almost as cheap as getting them resurfaced, and it's good insurance.
