Here is a chance for some tech and bailing my tail out.

I have:
-Stock solid axle knuckles (from an 8? Mini)
-Stock IFS calipers (from my 95 V-6 Runner)
-FJ-62 Rotors
-Stock brake pads for my calipers (Toyota)

The caliper will not bolt to the knuckle.

I tried 62 pads but those do not look anywhere near close enough to fit the calipers. Anyone have a PN to confirm?

This is what I need to do on the truck, everyone else does it, but mine WILL NOT bolt on.

 

I just did it, but needed to trim the dust shield to bolt mine up. I need to double check what rotors I used, but I know they were not from an FJ62.

 

The dust shield is spartan, just the ring at the spindle and the tab to hold the hard line.

I think the rotor and pad manufacture are the rubs.

 

Why won't it bolt up, what rubs or interferes? Mine bolted up after trimming the shield. I did find out one of my caliper bolts dug into the rotor because the lock washer on that particular bolt was too thin. I ended up shaving all the bolts because I wanted more space between the bolts and the rotor.

The other thing is my pads are pretty much brand new and I had to push the pads apart as far as they would go. I noticed the new rotor from the kit wasn't perfectly centered between the pads, it's offset by about 1/8", but the play in the pistons sucked up the difference.

 

Wow, I have a significant disability.

When I trimmed the backing plates, it was pretty slice and go. When I was putting the new pads in the rotors it was late and I was spent.

Turns out I am a fool. The part I tried to additionally cut and fold back was hitting the caliper below where I was holding it. I outsmarted myself, cut more and they work fine.

Yes, that SOB drives!

 

glad it worked out for ya.
got some pics of your rig you can send my way? love to see what it actually looks like.
