First, there is NO junkyard. cheap, bolt-on disc brake upgrade for Rangers or Bronco2's.
If you have a '91-94 Explorer with drums the '95-01 Discs DO bolt directly onto the '91-94 Explorer drum brake axle.
The only two practical ways of putting discs onto a Ranger/B2 are either with a complete aftermarket kit OR swapping in a '95-01 Disc brake Explorer axle.
there are however easily accomplished upgrades that work NEARLY as well for less effort:
If your early Ranger Bronco2 has 9" drums upgrading to 10" drums is a suprisingly effective alternative. search the junkyard for either a later ranger, or even easier an Aerostar to serve as a donor.
If you already HAVE 10" drums (most '88-up supercabs, 4x4's and '91-94 explorers) improved fade resistance is as easy as replacing your "smooth"
10" drums with the heavier "finned" drums that are specified for the '93-97 Aerostar.
ONE-MORE-TIME
Other than welding or an expensive aftermarket kit there is no easy or cheap way to put discs onto a Ranger. Many have tried, all (so far) have failed.
