brake help

Hello I have a 88 runner on chevy 1/2 tons. I had the stock toyota master cylinder and booster and my brakes went out. Pretty sure it's the master. My question is what booster/master set up are people running with bigger running gear. Is the toyota stuff enough or do I need to upgrade to chevy stuff? Thanks

How did the brakes work with what you had??

I am sure you could swap to the GM master cylinder and booster not sure but it would be interesting .

A popular combination is a Toyota T100 dual diaphragm booster and T100 1" MC. I bought mine new from Rockauto that were for a 96. Combined with my T100 4-piston calipers it stops almost too good.

I have heard of people using the T-100 booster with the chevy 2 ton master and I guess it works good also. I would like to possibly put the chevy booster in too but it might be to big to fit?

The land cruisers have a bigger master cylinder and I hear they bolt right up to the booster. Anyone out there try the land cruiser master culinder?

Don't know about LC MC, think LROR sales an adaptor to run a GM MC. Either pirate or marlin has a write up. But you'd need adapters or to run new brake lines.
