I did a search on this and I was not able to find what I am curious about. Ok so here is goes. Is/Would it be possible to take the rear disc setup off a 4th gen 4runner and fab a bracket to get it to fit on the rear of a 3rd gen? Maybe you could use a bracket and rear caliper from a 4th gen and a front disc from a taco or something? If I remember correctly the 4th gen are not 6 lug, but I though that I have heard of people using taco front rotors before. What do you think?

 

Wish we could, our rear drums suck

 

I think BruceTS was the only one I remember talking about actually doing something like that.
Try giving him a PM and see what he says on that topic.

 

Thanks I will try to get a hold of him. It seems to be a reasonable thing to do. The only hangups I see is maybe the rear ebrake cables being different. But correct me if I am wrong but they should be the same axels right?

 

I don't think it's as simple as it sounds (I think they are different), but ask Bruce, he'd know.

 

The flange on the newer 4runners/Tacomas uses a 3bolt flange where we have a 4 bolt flange. So it would not be a simple process. I think getting rear discs off a sequoia and pressing our axles into them might be more of a viable option. That is if they fit.

Otherwise the FROR full floater setup is also a good option.

 

i wonder if the 1996 land cruiser has rear disc brakes?

 

Pretty sure it does from 96 to present.

 

Most land cruisers have full floating rears, so getting the axle/bearing/abs collar to be happy would be a trick. I am keeping my eyes open for a wrecked sequoia still. Most toyota recyclers wont sell just the brake setup without the axles.

 

rear disc brakes... what?

 

RunnerUp, do you have a parking brake with that setup?
Which Chevy calipers are you running on there?

.....for those that are wondering APO = All Pro Off-road

 

I looked at an FJ last night and it looked to have a 4bolt flange and then another bracket that actually attached to the flange that held the caliper. I didnt see an ebrake attachment, however I am thinking that it might be a mini drum stlye inside the rear disc. I dont know all of this to be true but if someone else does please chime in!

 

Yep, they are.......most new vehicles have that style because discs stop best but drums make a better e-brake.
For people that haven't seen this, take a look at the pic below.

 

Hey thats the same disc brake setup I had on my currie ford 9in axle that I had under my 2001 Jeep grand cherokee. I really liked that setup. I would love to do that to my 4runner.

 

as far as what chevy calipers, im not sure i would have to look so hopefully ill remember later tonight when i put everything back together. and i lost my parking brake with that set up, but i do live in florida so i dont really need it
