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...

Extended brake lines for 3-5 inch lift sourced from Cruiserdan. Decided to go with 2", so didn't need. Paid $144, yours for $110 shipped.

I have this brake master cylinder left over from my 1975 FJ40 that I sold over ten years ago. I do remember I had some brake work done on the car and ordering a new master, but I not sure if it was ever installed. I believe this is the new one and was never put on the car, but I could be wrong...

Swapped in a new FZJ80 FF axle with new brake lines and I'll be flushing brake system soon. I read up on DOT3 and DOT 4 brake fluid. It seems DOT 4 has a better boiling point and wet boiling point. I assume DOT 4 is ok to run in our trucks or is the slight chemical composition difference a...

This isnt about the process, thats been covered, this is about what tool you are using. Most of my l my life, like many, i have used the friend pumping the break method but I am at a age where myself and all my friends have very young kids so its not that easy to get a helper. Do you guys like...

Installed a hydro boost out of an f250 over the weekend, 84 hj60, definitely a great upgrade, can lock the 35's at 60mph if desired. Should help hold it on those gnarly hills, where it always was a struggle to stop it rolling backward
