brakes

Hey guys, I’m wondering if anyone has had this issue and knows what it could be. I replaced my alternator about six months ago and now all of a sudden last night the battery light has been coming on and off when I drive particularly on grades in the mountains and braking. I can’t get it to stay...

Got a brake booster that I bought from a mud member a few years ago. During my engine swap I upgraded the booster to a PDI one so I no.longer need this one. Diaphragm is in great shape, supple with no sign of tearing. Check valve is good too, replaced with a new one 20k ago. $150 buyer pays...

Hello Masters of fj40 world. Beginner here. I bought a gorgeous '71 with the original 1f. The seller confirmed he had some resto work done, Including the trans/transfer and front axle out of a '76. Gave him the 4 speed, and front disc brakes. I have had a weird intermittent "dump" of Dot3...

So this has me stumped. I rebuilt the drum brakes on my 60 about three weeks ago. I did one side at a time so that I could use the other side as a cheat sheet and not misplace stuff. I took the drums off at Solid Axle Summit and had a bunch of knowledgeable cruiser heads verify that I did the...

Hey there, It’s been a minute or two. I’m looking to over haul my truck. I really don’t drive it but I’d like to keep it and bring it back. Its runs but engine leaks oil. It runs fine . I need new brakes and rotors, probably times for suspension to be re-worked . Exhaust was completely changed...

This is second hand info from the wife so sorry for the lack of detail. As she was coasting to a stop on a flat surface at maybe 40mph with little pressure applied to the brakes, she said the car skidded as if on ice. It’s bone dry out here in Texas so you can rule out rain. There was no...

Hey again y’all! I’ve recently started having a weird brake fade situation that occurs intermittently on hot days, which has me preparing for a brake flush as the old stuff looks pretty black and contaminated, as well as the replacement of rubber hoses to refresh the system a bit. I’ve sprayed...

Hello everyone new here as a member but have been lurking for a while. I have a 1978 BJ40 that I have been slowly doing up to put back on the road. One of the main problems have been the brakes. Still has drums all around. I have replaced all the wheel cylinders, rubber lines, master cylinder...

They must have missed the brake pad with the cross pin as only 2/3 or so of the pad was you know, on the disc 🤦‍♂️

I ordered Wilwood disc brakes for the front and rear for my 73 55. I'm told I will need larger rims to clear the brakes. I'd like to retain the stock rim look. What and where do I get them, what are my options? I'm looking but not finding a 16-17" rim.

Hi All, I just took delivery of a 97 LX450. The previous owner had replaced the brake booster and wasn't happy with the job the shop had done (not a Toyota specific shop). I knew that I'd have to put some time into this and I'm going to be working on it this afternoon and tomorrow. Does anyone...

Long time lurker here, first time posting. I've been reading countless of posts with others with overheating engines but I decided to throw mine into the mix... Back Story: I have a 1996 land cruiser, IFZE-FE, with almost 256,000 miles now. My dad bought it 13 years ago and I started driving...

I just picked up a trailer that was a little bigger than I had planned on buying. It is a 7X14 tandem enclosed Wells Cargo. It has hydraulic surge brakes which I have never had or used. I just wanted to see if anyone could tell me if there is a way (that I cannot find doing a search on these...

I have a 2000LX with 198k on the clock. I have a brake line that broke, it is the passenger side. Does anyone know where I could go to find the parts list. Has anyone had the lines changed? Could you share the cost? Does anyone know how long it should take?

I will have 75K miles on the truck come this fall, it will also be three years old as well. I am planning to do front and rear brakes at that time, both rotors and pads along with another 5K mile oil change. What else would you guys suggest replacing or at least inspecting at that time?

how you going I'm new here but quick question how much does a front end disc brake conversion/upgrade cost for a hj47 not including labor just the parts if you can even buy em anymore.

I need a brake line 3 way fitting (maybe called a T fitting?) that fits our 80 series. I tried to order a 90413-10058 (the 3 way fitting that sits under the master cylinder on ABS 80 series) but apparently, those are no longer available. And to be clear, I don't need the bracket that attaches...

Looking for advice on rotor/pad selection. I run through front rotors pretty quickly. The Mountain I live on is small by comparison @ 2200 feet. I commute daily, sometimes multiple times per day, up and down this beauty and I seem to consistently get warped front rotors resulting in a shaking...

After a bit of research and I have shared all the Brake conversions and upgrades I have done to my 1983 FJ45 Troopy, and broken them up into 4 videos. I hope this can help anyone wanting to do the same Upgrades to there brakes, the stopping power is a fantastic improvement! Feel free to check...

Does anyone here have any experience with upgrading their brakes? I’ve seen this kit on SDHQ that is quite expensive. Does anyone have real world driving experience with this kit? Any other brake mods or upgrades...
