brakes

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...

So, it makes me sad to say this, but I'm going to be selling my 2020 Heritage in a couple of months. She's been good to me, and I built her up to be the best and baddest go-anywhere beast I could have. But my work has shifted course, and I'm just not using her the way she deserves. I'm not done...

I was on the highway at about midnight and felt my brakes go to the floor as i was getting off the highway. I could still stop it by going to the floor. I pulled into a parking lot and saw smoke (probably brake fluid that came off the exhaust) and saw that one of my brake lines in the rear went...

I have an 83 US FJ40. I purchased after it underwent 10 year restoration, that was abandoned 75% complete. The vehicle would start and ran but was not driven for approx 12 years. The work that was done seems to be a very high level. The prior owner is not accessible, so I do not have a lot of...

About a month ago, I was on a run with some friends and coming down the mountain (not in 4-LOW), my brakes felt SUPER soft, almost going to the floor. After dropping it into 4L and coming to a leveled area, the brake reservoir had burped quite a lot of fluid out and was quite hot. Some context...

Firstly, thank those who answered my thread a few days ago about the type of master cylinder I needed. I recently bought a 96 FZJ80 VX limited imported 102,000km (63k miles) from Japan. It's in pretty incredible condition; there are a few minor things I already took care of noted in the...

Looking for any feedback on EBC brakes (rotors + pads kit) for 2nd gen Sequoia. I run EBC on my 80 and had them on my 100 with good performance. But curious if anyone’s swapped OE for EBC or any other brand? Few Amazon reviews suggest that EBC are considerably better than OE but I’d rather go by...

Anyone have this problem? I have a rotating grinding noise(similar to, most likely brakes). It seems to be coming from the LEFT side of the car. Moe than likely LEFT REAR. I can make it happen when I steer slightly to the RIGHT. I'm sure there's some changes in static/dynamic forces causing it...

So I've been chasing brake issues for a bit now. I my new rotors warped within a few thousand miles, after I had rebuilt the front rotors which were really crusty. So thinking the calipers were still sticking I bought rebuilt calipers and had the rotors turned. Everything was good for another...

I am tearing down and rebuilding my front axle. I am upgrading hubs to IFS hubs. I plan to use frontrange caliper bracket (that is if they ever answer the phone). With that said, which year and model brake calipers are some of you guys using? Thank you

I have a 1996 FJZ80 imported from Japan (JDM, RHD, etc, etc), it's fantastic! I hate to start another thread on the Spongey brake issue (I've read so many), but as I follow the FSM, I have run into a dilemma. The Brake Master Cylinder has 2 bolt holes onto the booster instead of 4, which...

Is there a trick I’m not doing? Before this project I had brakes. Good pedal, even stopping. New parts installed: Dual reservoir master cylinder/JTO adapter, bench bled. Unknown year front end with Wilwood disc brakes, braided lines, good pads. I made a front hardline from the master to a...

I’ll be replacing my rear brake pads, rotors, and parking brake shoes later this month so I’m looking for advice on tools and techniques to make it easier for someone who hasn’t done this in close to 20 years and the last time I messed with brake shoes was on a 62 Chevy pickup. I’ll be picking...

Guy in my area is selling an FJ62. He wants $6,300. I think its worth $4,500. Thoughts? I test drove it today, brakes are soft, other than that is drives well and pretty much everything operates. The rust on the back is pretty bad, per picture. However in front of the rear driveshaft there isnt...

I know the front spring is suppose to be behind the shoes and the back spring in front but why? I have not seen this on other cars with drum brakes. Just curious. Thanks

I had a reputable LC mechanic redo all my drum brakes about 300 miles ago, and they started out real firm and worked great. Recently they needed some pumping up before they would stop, and now I am getting almost nothing, and having to downshift/use the E brake to fully stop :oops: How long...
