Hello,
I have looked a lot and all I can find is front disc brake conversion kits which wont work obviously since 77's came with factory disc brakes. Anyone know where I can get some upgraded rotors and calipers? the stock rotors are shot and same with the calipers. Any help would be great! Thanks!
I have 1982 FJ43, imported from Columbia, and want to convert the front wheels to disc brakes. The stock drums are leaking fluid and are in bad shape all around. Does anyone know where to get either (a) replacement parts for the drum brakes, or (b) conversion kit to disc brakes?
Hi, I own a 1980 European version FJ40 with front Drum brakes. I need to replace brake pads and drums.
My pads are 3" wide (is this the standard) and drums have fins.
I cant find these drums. Cant I just use whats available in stores on the web?
Thank you for all your comments....
Last year, Terrain Tamer launched a family of high performance brake products for Land Cruisers - from late 40s through 60, 70, 80, 100 and 200 Series - along with FJ Cruisers. During 2016 we saw many installations in all of these vehicles and more are going out the door to our partner shops...
I'm new to my 80 and need to replace the rear pads and rotors.
Do I need to disable the ABS system before starting work on the brakes?
(some vehicles requires this, some don't)

I was coming down a hill today when suddenly, my brakes decided to do a partial fail. Buy that I mean that I still had brakes, but the pedal has no feel at all until I hit near the bottom of travel and I have about an inch or so of pedal pressure.
I did a quick check, I have fluid and all of...
Expeincing an abs issue on a 97.
Here's the scenario.
Stopping from about 20mph, My brake pedal initially has what feels like higher resistance than normal, but flutters a bit and doesn't seem to really want to stop the rig, then it goes away with more foot pressure and works as normal...
I recently parted ways with the body and frame of my parts car (1975 FJ55), and now have these complete axles left over. Willing to sell them complete or in pieces, just let me know what you're after. Uber-reasonable pricing. I'd prefer not to scrap them if people need parts! Buyer to pay...
So, my e-brake light is turning on randomly. At first I thought it was just the electrical circuit issue causing the light to indicate that the e-brake was still engaged although it was not. But some research how now shown me that the e-brake light indicates the e-brake being engaged, brake...
Hello my name is Josh, I have been a 'mud' user for a couple months. I have learned a ton of great info from this forum. I purchased a 1998 LC100 with 242k miles. People on here seem more mature, less snobby, more friendly and willing to help than any other online forum I have participated in. I...
In advance, I apologize for lack of pictures.. My gloves were covered in brake fluid and I didn't to be handling my phone.

Recently purchased a 2001 Landcruiser with about 180k miles and noticed a wobble when I brake on the highway, it seems pretty severe but no real pull to either side. Also vibrations through the floor and seat. The brakes and rotors were done about 30k miles ago at a toyota dealership, any chance...
Just bought a 1991 HDJ81. Killer truck!! The brakes look fine, but when I put it in 4x4 low and first gear, they will barely stop the vehicle.
Any way to beef up the brakes some so that it will stop better or any other suggestions?? Or is this just one powerful 6 cyl turbo diesel??
Any help...

Hello everyone,
I am currently having problems with the MC on my 2000 LC100. It started with the VSC and ABS lighting up when I was stopped for a while and culminated with a VERY annoying beep. The brakes are working perfectly but there is some fluid leaking. My mechanic got the whole assembly...
My rear brake backing plates are disintegrating on me and the springs for the brake cabkle have broken off. Looks like I need both sides. Anyone have a pair of unrusted ones they want to sell?
