I got one off of Ebay for about $50, no quality issues / worked fine. The other I found in a junkyard for $5, but it was clean, looked new and I made sure the pedal didn't fade before I yanked it.

 

will i be able to plug my brake sensor connector to that upgraded master cylinder your selling?

corax: thanks, might be my best option price wise

 

my master cyl is for a FJ80 and works good with the v6 calipers/pads and FJ80 rotors

 

most people get them used ..

if they are getting them used than why do i see alot pretty clean and new looking cylinders

 

they can be cleaned my friend.

 

true lol. replacement ones are pretty cheap imo. just wanted feedback on the ones they sell on ebay or should i just buy one from auto parts store

 

i spend 50 bucks for piece of mind on mine. and it came witha nice clean resivoir and black paint on the master....

 

Besides the FJ80 upgrade, a 3rd gen Hilux (1989-95) is a great choice as well if you want to keep everything Hilux (this is what I've got in my 1981).

Just remember that once you start mix-and-matching master cylinders, your brake pedal may feel heavier/harder to press. In this case, you'll also need to increase the size of your brake booster to compensate for the larger master cylinder, however this is not required.

I see you've got two trucks listed in your sig. Take note that the first gen cab positions the steering shaft closer to the brake booster, so you will only be able to fit a 2nd gen booster in there. But on your 1988 2nd gen truck, you will be able to fit a 3rd gen booster as well (it will need to modified just barely for clearance). But again, you do not have to upgrade your booster, your brake pedal will just be harder to press is all.

thanks, my boss will let me take an extra long lunch to swing by and pick up what i need. do i get any discounts since i work for toyota?

 

if u work for toyota u should be able to get the parts guys to order one for you cheaper then u getting it and have it sent to your place... but thats if u work at the dealership i use to do it all the time when i work as a parts guy..

 

my parts guy told me it be cheaper if i go to their store and tell me i work for toyota. idk why cuz i usually have my parts guy order them for me at a better price

 

That is an awesome thread!

Yup, this is the problem I had with my stock steering shaft. It is nice to know the 2WD version will fit!! I guess I shouldn't have sold that booster after all!

 

thanks ..
