    Upgrading 91 FJ80 front brakes to 95 brakes process

    You have to run larger wheels. I went with stock 4 runner wheels with a 1.5" Spidertrax spacers and stud lug nuts. At the end of this video you can see what they look like

    When you say standard pads, are they the carbon ceramic ones? This is the kit I bought.

    Upgrading 91 FJ80 front brakes to 95 brakes process

    Wanted to update everyone on the brake upgrade. I have a bout 2,000 miles on the brakes and I have mixed reviews. The Powerstop brakes with carbon-fiber ceramic pads work amazing once they are warmed up, usually 4-5 normal stops. But those first few stops it feels like the brakes are not...

    If I lived in the Rockies, mine would see dirt way more often.

    If I get into mud I'll just power wash the brakes. I live north of Dallas so this is more of a payment pounder.

    I borrowed a kit from Autozone and none of them would fit the axle opening to drive the seal in further. Your kit had one?

    Totally agree! Gotta save my penny's for awhile though. This set me back more $$ than I was ready for.

    Upgrading 91 FJ80 front brakes to 95 brakes process

    Picking up again... Step 10. Bleed and test system without LSPV. Big difference. The rears are easy to lock up, but that is not a good thing as you can lose control. I dialed in the proportioning valve so the just barely start locking on aggressive stops. However, the fronts still didn't feel...

    Continuing the thread here. Step 5. Discover my second major issue. Rear axle seal failure. I noticed some oily grease on my passenger side rear drum so removed it to inspect. Yikes, no wonder I couldn't stop very well! Step 6. Rebuild rear brakes. Ugh, this is now been a 2 week ordeal with...

    Upgrading 91 FJ80 front brakes to 95 brakes process

    Just finished my front brake upgrade on my 91 and wanted to post the process. Hopefully, it will help the next guy do this a little faster. I thought it would be a weekend job, and it would be possible, but I discovered a bunch of issues during the process. Ended up rebuilding the entire brake...
