rear disc brake swap (Toyota parts)

I would like to use all Toyota parts when I do my swap. I found these brackets:

Does any body know what Tacoma (year, front/rear) calipers they are referring to?

What about rotors? I have the front rotors from a Chevy already machined, but I would like to use Toyota there also.

I have been wondering how hard the swap would be from a 03+ runner.... I would guess toyota uses the same flange bolt pattern, as they like uniformity...

Really need to know what vehicle/year you are talking about doing the swap on to offer any meaningful advice.

The swap will be on an rear axle from a 1990 pickup.

Not sure about RuffTuff's brackets...email him on Yotatech and ask him...nice guy. If it is a trail rig you should consider a FROR full floater swap and then you can use all Toyota parts w/o modification. I have one on my trail rig...very nice setup and Brian at FROR is good people.

Kind of along the same lines, I'm still looking into doing my disc swap with all toyota parts.

Do any "new" toyotas use 7/8" thick rotors, or did they all go to 1". And do any new Toyotas have rotors that slide over the hub like GM's, or do that all bolt to the back?

04 Rocko Taco: can you take a look at your brakes for me? How thick are your rotors, and are they pressed/bolted onto the back of the hub, or do they slide on over the studs?
