double Dz

hey guys i have searched numerous threads and haven't found what i am after, i have an 86 4cyl 4runner and an 89 v6 parts runner, the rotors are wearing out on my 86 and i didn't know if it was worth it to swap the 89 calipers and rotors to the 86. is that alone a good upgrade or will i have to switch the brake MC over from the v6 as well, any other modifications when doing this? have heard that the 2nd gens have bigger calipers and MC, but i am really trying to work with what i have from the 89 v6. any help is appriciated thanks

According to this site

the '86 Calipers do NOT fit an '89.

RockAuto has rotors for your '86 for as little as $15!

The '89 V-6 calipers will fit the '86 if the '89 V-6 rotors are used as well.

okay so i plan on switching the rotors and calipers, is the v6 brake master necessary to switch too or is the 4cyl brake master the same?

I replaced the rotors and calipers on my '87 with calipers and rotors from a '92 V6 Runner and kept the original '87 master cyl. I am happy with it. Using this setup near 5 years now.

I got the rotors, MC, brake booster and calipers from a '94 4Runner.

The only mod. i had to do was to cut about 1 in. or 2 in.off the brake dust covers to fit the bigger calipers on.

The spindles/knuckles are the same from the 86-88 and the 89-95 trucks, so the V6 4Runner or T100 Calipers and Rotors would be the largest factory bolt on upgrade.

Same here! Stops way better now.

This, except I'm thinking it was more like 1/2" on mine

Two wheel drive stuff work as well as 4WD? I have a dead 95 2WD and want to swap master, booster, calipers, etc on my 88 22re. Advice? Also on proportioning valve stuff.
