    FJ60 Brake Booster options

    Maybe someone smarter than me can chime in, but I think adding a master cylinder with a larger diameter piston may help firm things up faster. The T100 MC has a larger piston from what I understand. Also, the 4Runner calipers have two large pistons as opposed to one large and one small in the...

    You really don’t want your brakes locking up. You loose control when that happens and the vehicle becomes unruly. You want your brakes to slow you to a stop. Today’s modern vehicles have complex anti-lock brake systems for a reason. That’s the point I was making earlier in this thread. Many...

    FJ60 Brake Booster options

    I think don’t recall having a check valve in my setup… I’ll need to go pop my hood and check. If I recall I looked up parts for a 96 four runner just to make sure I was right in the middle of the suggested year model compatibility. Perhaps I have a check valve and never noticed it? I’m curious...

    That’s odd. Did you use 3/8 brake line or fuel line? I imagine they would both be impermeable, but I have had no issues with mine using fuel hose. I wonder if the booster you received is defective in some way?

    That’s correct. I think I looked up 96 when I did mine.

    FJ60 Brake Booster options

    Replacing 30+ year old brake parts is always a good idea. I replaced everything all at once including the soft lines. When one component starts to fail the others are likely soon to follow. I personally don’t feel comfortable risking my life with old parts when brand new/remanufactured/upgraded...

    I agree with measuring the distance rather than counting the threads. If you were reinstalling the same unit it would make sense to count threads, but it’s the positioning of the receiver that matters so you have the correct travel distance in the pedal and you are able to fully actuate the...

    Thanks for pointing that out. I appreciate it. I’ll make the edit.

    Here’s some “uniformed gibberish” for you if you care to become more educated as opposed to being an arse. Removing the engine braking from the equation does in fact change the weight distribution on a manual vehicle like a land cruiser that is already top heavy and it is a very important factor...

    I dunno, the guy went to school paid by Saab for mechanical engineering. He certainly is the most knowledgeable mechanic I’ve ever met. Just my two cents.

    I got my parts from rock auto. The booster and master were remanufactured OEM parts. No issues at all five years later.

    I didn’t understand the weight distribution issue either, but my buddy went into some differential equation stuff that was way over my head. I think it comes down to the amount of friction and force that’s distributed to the engine/transmission vs brakes. I had an issue in my transfercase and...

    The fj60 does not have a rear proportioning valve. I believe the weight distribution issue has to do with how much force is applied to the brake pads themselves. With the transmission disengaged the entire weight of the vehicle is being stopped by the brake pads alone. With the transmission...

    I also remember having to remove that steel vacuum line that attaches to the OEM booster and I replaced it with a longer fuel hose to get vacuum to the booster. The 4 runner booster has that vac line on the opposite side if I recall. It’s been a couple years.

    4 runner booster from a 1996 should drop right in. I used a master cylinder from a T100 of the same year model. Replace all the soft lines with stainless lines if you want it a bit stiffer. I’m also using 4Runner calipers up front. I have great stopping power, however the pedal isn’t hard. It’s...
