Drums are cheaper to manufacture which is one reason. But there is another reason to do with classification of vehicles as commercial and the tax benefits that brings.

You're wrong
I own a Pajero with 4 wheel discs and an ML with disc/drum combo.
The difference is not even comparable, even with the Paj being a heavier vehicle 4 wheel disc FTW This has also been proven at Ultimates workshop on their braking/alignment machine
As 26 has already said, no engineer will pass a brake upgrade if it's not better than original You'd be wrong once again if you think someone driving a GQ with 12" of lift has it engineered. Just because it's on the road doesn't mean it's engineered That's hardly a valid argument.....
sorry didnt realise you was a engineer and knew everything about brakes please excuse me, im not wrong i have a different opinion is all i guarantee that if you spent the same amount on your drums as 26 has on his conversion you can get them working really well, pretty sure pajeros have them all round because its independant suspension all the way round, like i have said before several times discs would be good for constant braking ie around a track etc on around citys but when its hard breaking for not long periods of time drum ftw.
well my mate has a 8" suspension lift and 2 " body lift on his gu and its all engineered mate maybe thats a more valid argument???
Loving these mods 26, good to see it's all working out as planned
