My 1982 BJ42 is New Zealand-spec, and it has drums all around, no discs. My drums seem to be in reasonable shape, but I'm trying to find shoes for them. Are the rear shoes the same as the US shoes available online? They look similar, but are the fronts and rears the same? If not, what's a good source for those? Thanks for the info!

Why was this moved to the classifieds section? I’m asking a tech question, not a WTB.

If you don’t get an answer, I bet beno could get the correct shoes. He’s a seasoned Toyota parts man, mud vendor and sells OEM TEQ parts. His web page is: Welcome to LCPC

Sure sounds like tech to me, too.

You consider converting your front drums to discs ? I think 4wheel auto sells a kit.

That’s a someday project, this is a shorter term problem.

Lol I know all about those.

I bought a set from SOR for my 83 Saudi spec FJ40. 081-15QFT-A is their part number I believe

Cruiser outfitters has told me they can get them but I haven’t needed another set yet.

Correct, we stock the 3" wide shoes as well.

Alright, update. When we tore the front brakes open, we determined that they must have been changed more recently, as they’re in reasonable shape. Bit of a lip on the drums, but the shoes were at least good enough for this trip. The rear shoes were in a lot worse shape, but, surpisingly, the drums and shoes were available through our friendly neighborhood national auto parts chain.

I think once the weather warms up I’m gonna look into doing a front disc swap. Any upgrade that makes my mum less nervous about me driving this truck is an upgrade worth exploring.
