I am in the middle of upgrading the front axle on my 40 and would also like to upgrade my disc brakes. I have been searching and reading all morning but haven't found all the info I need and just want to check a few things to make sure I have it right.
The front axle is 1976, all original as far as I can see. I would like to upgrade the caliper and rotor.
Do I want to use the calipers off of a V6 4Runner? If so, what years can I use, early 90's? Is this the best option?
As far as rotors I have no clue, I read something about a vented rotor but couldn't find out any info on what that was off of or what to look for.
Thanks everyone. Since I am spending all this time and money on upgrading the front axle I might as well get the best brakes I can. I appreciate your help.
If I have missed other threads with this info I apologize and links would be appreciated.
