Got 60's in my toy and am wondering what mastercylinder you are using to operate the 4 wheel disc brakes?

Thanks
 
I think most people are using a F350 master cylinder to go with the 1/2 ton brakes that usually end up on Dana 60's.

I don't remember the model year but someone will chime in.
 
Is it possible to fit toy rotors and calipers on the 60s? One of those things I've always wondered but never seen someone do....:eeek:

Anything is possible and actually would be very doable..... but why would you want to? Less surface for stopping power. in the long run it would be alot of work with weaker brakes. also the toy caliper is a non floating. so if your axleshaft walks or rotor is not true you can get pedal pumpdown (commonly seen on toy rear disc conversions). in the long run you will find the less toyota junk you have the better off you will be. I would never "turdify" a dana 60 with toyota parts.

e or f-treefiddy..... generally late 80's needs 1-1/8" bore to 1-1/4" bore MC depending on which rear calipers your using. Smaller rear calipers you may want a little more pressure and the 1-1/4" is a little too much volume and will not work as well.

Ever heard of a full floating axle? :; Toyota brakes are not junk if setup properly, my truck stops better than a stock Tacoma. I absolutely refuse to run those flawed single piston calipers.

Are you sure your junk can pull a 4500lb boat anchor around all day?:haha: :haha: :haha:

Well I was thinking of naming the Jeep the "SN Minnow"...seems fitting for my Reiter 3 hour tour :haha:

I guess I need a boat anchor :haha: :haha: :flipoff:
 
I was running a Corvette M/C on my Willys with these axles/brakes and worked awesome but without the booster, now running the Toy booster and was wondering if there is a Toy M/C that might work, Already bought a Cressida M/C as it bolts right up and stops it pretty well but is still spongy. Has a 15/16" bore, my Vette M/C is a 1" or 1-1/8" bore, can't remember. Any FJ/FZJ M/C's bolt up?

I am running ½ ton brakes front and rear on this beast. Stops pretty good just a spongy pedal.

I'll prolly end up building an adapter for my Vette M/C if I can figure this out soon.

Thanks again.

My truck doesn't weigh that much. :haha: :haha: But it moves like a boat anchor at the moment. Hopefully my timing kit will show up so I can get it in and wheel again before summer is over. :looser:

:awesomework: go nuts.... like I said it can be done. I have tried every combo of toy parts with shitty results. The true reality is your are having good results with what you have..... now that being said, have you taken all those parts off the same truck and put on the GM brakes and tried them and had shitty results and went back to your toy parts? I have done changes on the same car. This is why I use the parts that I do. I run parts that are good.... not just parts that represent the "brand" I like.... trust me if the toy parts where worth a **** I would gladly use them but I moved on about 7 years ago when I was doing similar mods to what your finally doing now! :flipoff:

Full floating axle? no... never heard of them...... why do you need that? you have some wood to haul with your wheeler?:;

It's not the brand name as much as the design. A solid mounted 2+ piston caliper is a far superior design to a floating caliper. I had Toy floating calipers on the rear axle, they sucked donkey. I've seen the popular GM calipers jam up in a similar way on a few rigs. I'm just trying to avoid paying out the heiney for a set of Baer or Wilwood calipers when I know what I have currently can stop me just fine. :redneck:

Besides, you don't even know what I'm doing. :fawkdancesmiley:
