I have owned "uglina" for several years (see 27 page build thread on this site). She has front discs and rear drums. Until about 2 months ago, the brakes were great. Recently, the car has started pulling to the left. It has gotten to the point where it pulls pretty hard when you apply the...

This may be a stupid question, but is there any difference between Toyota brake fluid compare to regular dot 3 brake fluid made by say Preston, valvoline synthetic brake fluid or other's make brake fluid? I am not concern with the fancy higher boiling point brake fluid as I am not going to race...

Next time you are underneath check the condition of the inner front brake hoses. I had one fail a few days ago (luckily it wasn't catastrophic). Replacement wasn't very difficult at home but would definitely suck to do in the parking lot of a parts store on a road trip. The previous owner...

I'm installing an Old Man Emu kit on my 1984 FJ60 and have a question on my front sway bar linkage. Whoever had the truck before me just used some long bolts for the linkage and they bent. They weren't even the same length! Anyway before I go and order a new set of sway bar links, will they fit...

I was replacing the upper rubber brake line that goes from my frame down to the tee fitting that bolts to the differential and have run into a problem. It looks like somewhere along the line the rigid line that goes from the frame down to the rubber hose was kinked and when I tried loosening the...

Does Toyota not make front brake pads for my 1986 4x4 Pickup Truck? I've tried to order, twice, from online Toyota parts suppliers, only to have the total refunded a week later with no explanation. If no Toyota, what are y'all using?

Hello. Does anyone know a part number or where to get just the rubber dust boots for the rear brake calipers? I can only find it in the rebuild kit. I do not need anything but just the dust boots. Any info or if anybody has any extra they want to sell let me know. Thanks!

Hello Mud I just installed a new City racer booster, OEM master, all new brake lines, new rear wheel cylinders on my 77 40. Now comes the problems. I went to bleed the brakes this evening and I am not getting any fluid from the rear P or D when I crack the lines to bleed . I do get fluid when I...

I'm looking for recommendations for a 3rd brake light that will work with my FJ62. Thanks.

--Found one, thanks all!--

My 40 has front disc brakes. Who's components did/would you use to rebuild the assembly?

So I've been experiencing a racing idle and have developed a nearly frozen brake pedal that totally elimnates driving. Cant stop that bus for anything. So jacked it up and pulled a wheel off last night and just looked it over and degreased. Looked into it further today and it seems to be a...

NOS brake master works great but is leaking, both at the cups and the senders [though could be leaking from the cups onto the senders]. I didn't use any thread sealant during assembly. Should one have..? And if so, what?

So as I am finishing up my knuckle rebuild, I put on new brakes. Noticed that my master cylinder was leaking. So i took it off to rebuild it, my question is do I need to do anything the the brake proportioning valve? I bought a rebuild kit for the master, is there anything needed for this...

I've changed brake pads before but not on a fj cruiser (I've never worked on a FJ Cruiser)... I'm changing the break pads in the front and going to have the rotors re-surfaced. Before I open it up I want to make sure that I do everything rite. I heard to be careful with the ABS speed sensor.. Is...

Hello everyone. I have trolled routinely with great insights from IH8MUD. I thank you very much and that was long overdue. I first Yota'd purchasing a coworkers 96 4Runner unlimited. 200K of loved performance for a project which began and ended with and FJ set of wheels and tires that thing is...

I just installed new (rebuilt) calipers in the front with new custom (hydraulic shop) soft lines to the calipers (these are fairly long to facilitate taking off the calipers to service the knuckles in the future). Now I'm bleeding the system. Fresh fluid, speed bleeders at all 4 corners...

Garage clean out time. Will not be needing these as truck was sold long ago. I believe these will work on any Toyota Pickup or 4Runner 1979-95, but firm up with Marlin Crawler if you don't know for sure, because I don't. These were manufactured by a military supplier, Crown Fabrications...
