brakes

Long time lurker, first time poster. I will be needing new brakes soon on my 09 gx and I was thinking of doing the 460 brake upgrade. Rock auto has a powerstop setup with calipers, pads, and rotors, but I have been seeing mixed reviews. What setup should I buy for normal driving, little to no...

Hi can someone send me a picture of how to route the brakes lines for RHD HZJ79R-TJMRS 1HZ from Brake Booster to ABS unit

Hey Folks New to the gang and have a brake question. Recent purchased a 98 Land Cruiser 100 from Japan and looking to change the rotors and pads. I’m stateside (New England) and the Toyota Dealer mentioned they can’t find the vin and therefore they cannot change the brakes. They also mentioned...

Has anyone done brakes on a 95' Landrcuiser Prado KZJ71? I'm struggling to find part numbers or anything that I can be certain will work. Mostly need Pads and Rotors but calipers would be good info as well. Thanks

Hey all I’m just wonder what this hose that looks like a breather is for on my 1979 fj45 troop carrier with drum brakes all round I am getting no movement in the back wheel cylinders, they look fine adjust fine and I have bled them and there’s no trouble getting fluid through.

1991 FJ80 restoration project -- when the ambient temperature is above the high 20s or low 30s, or if I let the vehicle warm up thoroughly, the brakes work great. Below the mid 20s and if the engine is cold, the brakes do not work at all. Hard pedal at the right height, just no stopping power...

My '04 makes a peculiar sound when applying the brakes. The sound seems to come from under the hood . It's not pad or caliper related and it doesn't do it every time the brakes are applied. It sounds like a rattlesnake shaking its tail 3 or 4 times then stops. Everything works normally, it just...

Hello- Got new tires 285/75/16 put on the LC last week. 4 days later wife reports grinding sound when braking coming from driver rear. Take off wheel and inspect. Indeed there is a grinding sound when turning the hub but also uneven wear on the pads. Outer pad is almost gone and inner has a...

Picked up the BJ40 Saturday. Engine runs great, tranny shifts fine, hubs lock and unlock smoothly, transfer case shifts well, It has brakes modified to discs all 4. Power steering added as well. Issues are brakes need some service as they pull mightily to the right. The steering is a bit...

Hello! I just converted to disk and so I have drum brake parts off of my 1964 fj40. I’m thinking 100$? I’m in Denver. Let me know if you’re interested! Thanks!

Hi team, this afternoon I explored one of our local backcountry valleys - of course there is a stream in it and the track crosses it many times. I would not call it fording , today it was up to the hubs at the deeper parts. Enough to give the underbody a wash and definitely totally wet all the...

3 Front FJ40 axles with leaf springs and brakes. I do not know what years these are from. $200 per axle. $500 takes all.

I have not worked on these brakes for 30 years. So, I decided to fix it. Easy peasy right? I started on the passenger front. I could not get purchase on the adjuster notches with a screwdriver. I took it all apart and freed up the adjusters. I discovered the guy before me did not...

Wondering if brake pads and rotors for RHD and LHD 1993 HDJ81 are the same size. Do you guys recommend a specific brand as well?

I have a dobinson kit for my HDJ81. I am wondering if I will need extended brake lines or anything else. If I do can someone send me a link? I also do need to replace my brakes and maybe my rotors. If someone could link stock HDJ81 front and rear brake pads + rotors that would be greatly...

Hello 80 people. What do you guys who run some rough trails in your 80's do with the anti lock brake system? Run it? I am preparing a rear from an 80, that has the anti stuff mounted, for my 55. I am pondering what to do , if anything, with the electrical devise factory mounted on the axle...

Looking for some guidance on where to start troubleshooting and share our story because things could have been a lot worse. Rig: 2013, 120,000 Miles. Lifted, Bumpers, carrying weight. Excellent Maintenance. Wife was driving to work this morning on a country road at about 45 mph w/ no...

So I have a 2000 toyota tundra with very mushy brakes. It all started with an intermittent braking issue where the brake pedal would be hard to press then it would go fairly soft. I have swapped the brake booster with 3 different after market units and the brake master cylinder with 2...

Obviously, title is in jest.. But I've been fighting some vibration issues on our '13 GX460 for quite some time. Looking for some input from those who have been through this and had some success getting to the bottom of it. 2013 GX Premium - 160k miles (Lots of HWY- we road trip a LOT) -...

I'm looking for a bit of advice on a recent problem with my 2014 GX 460. It's all stock, except for upgraded infotainment. The problem I'm having is that the brakes have become overly aggressive and sensitive. It's very hard to modulate the brakes to come to a smooth stop. They suddenly in...
