    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    Thank you, I did not know such a thing existed. It is unfortunate that they are placed at the axle end though. This truck gets used off-road and I can see it taking a hit pretty easily. I've sent them an inquiry asking if the disconnect can be placed at the transfer case.

    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    The link above is a slightly different critter. The calipers are floating, so not 4WD front calipers (Supra some claim). There is an option for a "Drotor" p-brake, which I take to mean that it has a drum p-brake inside the 'hat' portion of the rotor. Drotor Backing Plate Kit -...

    Absolutely will have to have an effective parking brake.

    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    I'm trying to not turn this truck into the un-ending project (I have one of those in an FSB that is currently getting a FF D60 for entirely different reasons), so I'm inclined to buy my way out of that situation if I can buy something close to what I want. I have a LA width complete rear axle...

    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    The adapter plate looks like it could be a FRORF part. I don't know if anyone else has ever made those or not. I have read of guys making their own. Rotors are likely FJ60 fronts, unless the whole wheel hub & rotor assemblies are IFS Mini-Truck. The "notched" face where the rotor mates to the...

    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    The p-brake kit version looks to use a caliper with smaller piston area, so that should help with brake biasing. No idea if it is enough. Good axle breathing has long been high on my importance list, which odd for a left coaster to be so concerned. We generally don't have water crossings like...

    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    Many miles on it? How is the sealing, does it tend to leak anywhere? How are the rear brakes? They seem like they'd be a bit big for rear brakes at at speed, but would likely be fine fro crawling. I'm thinking to go with the version that has a drum parking brake.

    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    Wouldn't that be rather wide? I'm kind of hoping that by the time I cut off the SF flange and weld on the FF spindle flange that the WMS dimension will fall pretty close to an IFS rear housing WMS dimension.

    FF 8" Mini axle possible project.

    I'm asking here because I figure most have BT, DT and moved on to stronger stuff. '88 4rnnr that sees DD use, but would like to flat tow it as a "tow'd" behind our camper. Crawling under it to R&R the drive-shaft is only OK the first two times. Used those up. So: thinking of building a FF rear...
