Did that mean to say, "...had the S2000 rotors reworked to fit the axles"? I'm looking at doing a similar retrofit, and it looks like the rotors were re-drilled to the existing pattern of the DJ-5. And are DJ's 5x4.5 stock (smaller than CJ's 5x5), or is that what was reworked?
Axles were reworked to fit the s2000 rotors as written. The reason for this was to allow me to use factory or aftermarket S2000 parts for most of the mechanical gear.

I took it out for a spin with my copilot today.
