Rear Disc Brake Brackets

Like the topic says I need some rear disc brake brackets for my 87 Runner.

I have tried getting in contact with this guy, no luck at all.
https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f37/...rakets-179881/
his latest post says he has some, i have emailed and pm'ed him.

if any one has a link or a to scale drawing i could make my own.

i also have been here and dont see a point buying this kit when alls i need is the brackets.

Weaselman, I have a drawing that I made mine from. I used 97 calipers and rotors on my 85 axle assy. If you are interested, PM me and I will e-mail it to you.

Did you order his brackets? Have you got them yet?

What rotors are you running with them and also which Calipers?

SKy's rear disc conversion seems really high for a price. plus it uses harder to find calipers. The idea of being able to use the IFS(toyota) calipers is great since I am running them up front on my straight axle.

You should contact Davesoffroad and ask what calipers they use. Suprise chevy calipers with machined chevy rotors. Thats why the whole kit is so spendy. Ebay had some sellers of brackets don't know what calipers and rotors they use though. I have a set of trail country economy brackets that I need to install. high tensil (sp?) hardware and very nice workmanship.

I searched for brackets on ebay and found a set for 30 plus a little shipping. Can't remember exactly and I got them very fast. They use the IFS calipers. I emailed Davez but never got a response to this day.

same here. i emailed Davez and havent got a response.

i saw the brackets on ebay and they look like the original ones i wanted.

i am starting to lean towards this kit for the simple fact you dont have to grind the rotor and it looks like a pretty solid design.

Are you sure you don't have to grind the rotor? I doubt it is as simple as you are thinking....

Plus that kit is just the Brackets and Hardware no calipers or rotors. so why not go grab the ebay ones and a visit to your local ACE hardware store for new nuts and bolts?

becuz if you read the install instructions provided on the MFG website it actually really is that easy.
click here and then on installation instructions.

Wow that is a pretty nice set-up but looks like replacing the rotor will be a pain in the ass everytime....

I have the kit that Lowrange sells (made by Trail-tough), and it really is just that easy. It's a great idea and works awesome.

So I have been searching but can't find a pic or write up on the Tacoma rear rotor set-up. Can some post pics or dimensions that they used to get the rotors to fit up?. Also was the rotor stuck behind the wheel flange or in front of the wheel flange on the on the axle?
