off the cuff, their prices seem about double other places....not sure what all the disc kit includes, but if it keeps the stock coarse birfield, it's worthless. (and my guess is, it does...)
I picked up a set of late model (79+) cruiser knuckles from a fellow MUD lister, for $200. These are the most desirable disks, fine spline birf, large steering arm bolt pattern, and the vented rotors missing on minitruck discs.
I will spend ~100 on the parts needed to install the knuckles (new bearings, seals).
Like Woody said-depending on what it includes, its probably not worth it.
(unless you never use 4wd).

79+ front axles on the minitruck/fj55/60/62 are all perfect doners for the disc conversion, and give you better birfs too. Minitruck is the easiest to find....but there is a bit more to the conversion since you need to switch rotors and calipers. Minitruck fronts can be found for $100-200, with some hunting and patience. With LOTS of patience, they show up free.
