Mark,
when/if you go full-float rear do not use the Supra Calipers I am using(which are the only supra calipers with a center pull park brake) they will not hold your truck on anything but a slight incline.
You want to use the FJCruiser rear drum/disc setup. Contact Brian at Front Range Offroad Fab he is working on a kit for the Full-float with the FJ rear brakes. This is what I am going to switch to also.

THANKS! I know SKYS is supposed to be working on something as well. Obviously they already have the disc swap kit. What do you recommend in regards to just switching the disk for now? Not yet, but if I could find a used transfer case parking brake for cheap I might go for it( the negative feedback on that is a lot more than the positive, from my experience... But it's better than nothing I suppose. My body has lost bolts and it's hard to adjust and so on)

 

GOT MY rear 95 axles new LOWRANGEOFFROAD.COM premium KOYO & Marlin Kit installed and the original backing plates off mine, pressure washed and slapped on to these slightly longer 2nd gen 4 runner axles! ( at least 3/16s of an inch longer, which was supposed to make them stronger because they enter carrier splines deeper.....

I will get some pictures up ASAP. Camera is dead and I'm letting it charge and typing from my seat right now. Lol. I have lots of updates to do and I've just had no spare time to manage uploading to photobucket and all that. It's so much easier to just take a picture and click enter and post it up to Instagram all day long. Lol. I've learned and had so much more fun here, but I just had to cut back because it was consuming so much of my time and I was ending up with less and less time, from day to day, to spare.. Wahhhh, I know, I know! Lol....

Lots to share in the personal life as well, and hopefully I can get back here as quickly as possible. Just wanted to share what was currently going on

lookin good man

 

Not sure how I got a double post on the on below.

 

Glad to see you got the runner fixed. I had not realized the 95 axles were that much more beefier. Looks like a big difference. I was able to get on the wife phone and take a look at Instagram and seen you do have quite a bit going on and it is looking good. Still really haven't figured the Instagram thing out and will be sometime before I ever move over to it as I always a little behind the times on technology.

I see on the 95 axle the brake adjuster is on top and here I am thinking I may have finally figured out how to do rear brakes. Rear brakes have always been a problem for me. A Chinese puzzle would be easier for me to figure out. Those rear brakes look great as well.

It is 3-6 months out but Ruby will live again. I shouldn't be much longer on my truck and it is a well loaded SR5 and I have a red one like you have that has all the options yours had. It is going to take a while to get it to where Ruby was but it will happen. (slowly of course, lol) I am on an SR5 kick now.

 

Quality work as always! Nice job chef!

Looking good man, love the soft top.

 

Just here gettin' my fix Chef. Ahhhh.

 

Chef, do you happen to remember the part number for the freeze plug you used on your third member for the factory sensor?

 

Been almost 6 weeks...surely you mis have done something...

 

Been following you on Instagram for a while and finally came across your build thread on here...subscribed!
Beautiful 4Runner, I'd really love to own a first gen one of these days!

 

wow gone for 2.5 years and look what happend just looked at the whole thread amazing job Chef.

 

I truly enjoy your thread. That 4runner is BAD ASS! Thanks for sharing!

 

And about a thousand more things that I need to catch up on! I push and push the site as much as I can, but unfortunately I haven't been able to get on much... going like crazy on Instagram because it's so quick to just post a 15 second video or a picture, and caregiving for my mom has increased quite a bit and so has work and the needs of my daughters and grandkids. Still, I feel bad because the site has been so good to me and I dig all the people I've met and all that I've learned on here! Best site ever! I wish it was integrated with the other ones so that I could just simultaneously post everything to Google+ and YouTube and so on... Oh well, just need to find some time. I have another project coming to be delivered on Saturday, no info until then. Lol. I've learned to not say anything until I see the milk coming out! Lol. So, for now, here's me finishing up my half doors! ...
