Convert Drum brakes to Disk brakes??????
1994 Toyota Pickup 4x4 22re 4cyl
Is this even possible? I want to put Disk Brakes all the way around on my yota, but i dont know if this is even possible seeing as that i have Drum Brakes. If it is i would love to do it, but i need some information and some help. How about it yall?

Anything within reason is possible with enough time and money. The question is, why bother?
There is not a lot of braking power available from the rear wheels, so converting to disc brakes isn't going to provide much, if any added performance.
On top of that, you would have to use calipers with a parking brake feature, unless you want to do away with your parking brake. (Something that isn't really advisable.)
My suggestion, find something else to put your money towards.

wow, yes it can be done...
trail gear has a kit: http://www.trail-gear.com/brakes but you need a line lock to use for an ebrake.
or if you don't go with the line lock use a transfer case e brake kit like this one:

sky's makes a kit ( i have one, just need to install) http://www.sky-manufacturing.com/new...uct.php?id=128
might want to do some research using this link

yep..actually quite simple...FROR makes a full floater kit and it's a GREAT upgrade over sky's kit...with sky's kit you mount the disc to the axle it'self (i believe) and with FROR (front range offroad) you mount the kit to the Axle housing...which means it won't vibrate as much...although idk how much sky's kit vibrates LOL
i'm going to be doing the full floater conversion and disc brake conversion with some celica supra calipers to retain my e-brake.
