right..like you could find anything on there.

besides...theres no reason some of the tech cant be on this board. instead of always directing ppl over there....:eeek:

the few things i have searched for over there..i found SOO many. and then having to sift through all the bullshit, and swinging dicks....:looser: to find what i was actually looking for

Front rotors from a 92 chev 1/2 ton 4x4, non HD(rotors are thicker on HD & wont work). Lathe center to fit axle stub.
Brackets from Sky, Ruff Stuff, etc.
Calipers to fit brackets. Monte Carlo, Taco, etc.
Its all very basic.

X2 but I use brakets from a company called TSM. They have small ads in the back of most 4x4 mags. I've used skys also but TSMs are better IMO.

i know there are a ton of write ups, i have read them. i wanted to know what the toy guys here do. something that i dont have to do but would like to work it into my budget.

thanks mark

Personally I've got 90 2wd front calipers, generic 4x IFS rotors and once i get off my ass I'll build some caliper brackets. I'll be in the whole setup for the price of new pads in teh calipers.


The GM swap is pretty standard these days but if you have rear spacers re-using solid axle rotors and calipers with a set of prefabbed brackets is the cheapest for you....

what MC works best?

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

Depends on the calipers. Chevy calipers I'd use a generic GM master from a 80's vette. 4x mini truck I'd use a fj80 master. My setup will use smaller calipers so I'll just put a 2lb residual valve on there and call it a day.

thats kinda the info i was looking for. i can make my own brackets if i have to. i dont wanna sink $300 - $400 into this when DIY bead locks... new tires... tcase gears... high steer arms ect. are on the list

will be sticking with the YJ booster

Get a pair if 88-98 4x4 chev front rotors
Get a pair of HD 44 calipers (same as a standar 44 caliper except its wider and fits the wide IFS rotor and off a 2wd)

Get a pair of weld on caliper brackets

I can't recal if the center of the rotor has to be machined or not--been a while since I have done that on a toy (they fit my 60 axle centers perfect)..

And then get barke hoses off an 87 astro

Good to go :awesomework:

At least thats what I can recall from memory...

i planned on using the chevy rotors, with toy IFS calipers. i had them turned down to the same thickness as the yota rotors.
then i swapped fj rotors onto my 4runner, and used my calipers for that
the chevy rotors do need the centers turned also. theyre too small to fit the axle. i'll make my own bracketery also, i just needed to know what MC to use.
so now all i need is the FJ MC.
but what year/model exactly? i can buy it through work...

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

91-97 NON abs fj-80.


I just so happen to have a pair of 4 cylinder calipers sitting in the shop... What are they worth to ya?

i thank you sir:;

IFS?

ive got a set of non-vented calipers...off my runner...not that theyre doing me much good.

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

yes ifs calipers.... Hook me up with a set of pads for 90 2wd 4 cyl calipers and Ill call it square.

pm sent.


oh, and the FJ MC has a year break...right at 94-95. 12-94 is different from 1-95. atleast it lists a different part #

which one would it be?

 

[WHITE TRASH1]

I'd get the early one as I know it's correct. I can't be sure of the later model.. It's probably just a difference in the plug for the tattle tail fluid level sensor.
