Everything is a 'loose fit' right now.. I plan on pulling it all and doing bodywork/paint and re-installing, but will note the splines when I reassemble for sure.

Ok, so here's the Cardone 53-2785. It fits, but it's tight! Your steering angle might be a little different, I've got it set up with crossover steering and a newer style steering box, but the angle should be relatively similar. I pre-bent all...

This is great info. Just ordered the Cardone 53-2785 for a 2wd with the long studs. Will report when I've got it in my grubby hands and can install.. Thanks!

Well hell, I thought I was going down a somewhat well trodden path, looks like it's more seat of the pants flying! This brake confusion is causing me to hit a bit of a wall on my slow-mo restoration.. I guess some more research is needed...

I like that, nice and easy access. My plans were/are to use the vented larger rotors and calipers up front, and the stock solid rotor setup in the rear, along with the proportioning valve, I was thinking it might 'even' things out for brake...

That's what you need to do when you convert to disk in the back. Here is how I did it on my FJ40.

You will need one or the rears will lock-up way before the fronts are even close.

I was thinking of adding an in-line proportioning valve to adjust the pressure to the rear. Thoughts? Thanks

These are the stock solid front rotor and caliper. I hear ya on the parking brake, I do plan on the transfer case caliper. Interesting to hear your feedback on that.

This link was helpful when upgrading my '85. https://www.roundforge.com/articles/toyota-4x4-brake-master-cylinder-and-brake-booster-specs/

Does anyone have experience with the stock MC/Brake booster and the stock front discs and replacement rear discs? After chasing part #'s and ???'s, I've come back around to maybe just replacing the rear drums with discs, which I have already...

In my interweb searches it seems that if the larger V6 calipers are used with the stock booster and upgraded 1"MC, the brake pedal pressure sucks. I hoped to use the double booster to get good brake pedal feel, but the diameter of the later...

I've been working on 79 pickup that spent 20 years sat in the Arizona sun. This means anything plastic in the truck would fall apart if you looked at it wrong. I spent a lot of time searching Facebook marketplace and eBay for parts and in a lot...

So far what I've posted above is what is available. I have an upholstery sewing machine on order but it's a while out. My plan is to start offering upholstered options in black, blue, gray, tan or brown vinyl. Also planning on offering more...

Nice. Thanks for sharing!

I thought this might be helpful for someone out there. After my fuel tank rusted through while the truck was waiting to be loved again, I found that a fuel tank for an 83 was unobtainium. I found a 13.7 gallon tank listed for 1986-90 carb...

It seems the spacer is to give the booster outward clearance from the firewall for the steering shaft to slide under it.

So I'm redoing the brake system on my '83 short bed, upgrading to V6 fronts and stock disc rears, and I purchased a T100 (advertised as fitting V6 early 4runners, pickups) double brake booster to go with the new 1" MC. Does not want to fit. The...

I’ve made these and I’m selling them here: RetroReviveParts - Etsy - https://www.etsy.com/shop/RetroReviveParts Pretty much spot on with original minus the texture.

So I guess the moral is, hire a 🐺 to sneak you into MX.

The kicker to the stolen truck story was that he attempted to report it as stolen to his insurance company, and the insurance inspector showed him the border video clip of him driving over the border and the inspector saying " This you..?" His...

I hear you buddy, .. Thats too bad and there is not much you can do. I know how it goes down south, I lived in El Paso, 3 blocks from the border,my whole life IT is too bad that car painting in the US is so over regulated to the point of making...

Just have to reply to this, I'm just across the TJ border in IB, and the TJ paint shop scene has been a thing forever here, but I do know a guy that took his truck over to get painted not long ago, and when he went back the paint shop told him...

I swapped in the H55 around 10-12 years ago into my '88, it transformed the truck. Way more responsive, feels downright sporty, and at highway speeds she cruises at 70mph at about 2500rpm with 32 x10.5's. Hit the gas and she takes off to 80...
