    anybody have some input on what company would have the best drum brake liners for a 11' system.... looking for the the best in off road situations ,,,don't care about how long they last .I want to try that before trying a manual disc setup.

    I tried bonded (rather than rivited) shoes from NAPA, in the hopes that they'd dry out quicker after a stream crossing. Didn't seem to make much difference. I did do the drilled drum thing...again, didn't help out the wet braking much, although it did seem to improve dry braking a little bit.
