brakes

Just had a friend lose his brakes on his 06 100 (approx 185k miles) pulling out of our office parking deck. Luckily he had another floor to go before exiting so he rolled to a safe stop. I looked through a few threads and saw some good comments on the brake issue but nothing to set my mind at...

Here is my delima. Have a 94 LandCruiser, already upgraded and added ARB Front Bumper, Sliders, Springs, Camelback Toyota rebuilt the top half of engine and all that goes with that, new Radiator, PS Pump, Alternator, and Brakes. The issue is now when I hit the brakes hard, and I have had to...

Hello all. Apologies for a long post, but this issue has taken up many hours of my time (including reading hundreds of posts and links from here) and I wanted to be as thorough as possible in describing the issue and background. First a quick & dirty summary: my 2001 LC (~240k miles) has...

hey mudders, I have a small leak in my brake booster/ master cylinder. The resevoir remains full and my brakes work well. But I think it would be a good idea to rebuild them. question: does anyone know if the JDM HJ61 (or 61s in general) has the same brake components as the 60/62? can anyone...

Issue: My brakes (were done at Lexus dealership before I got the car) don't seem to bite hard when I press the pedal. The pedal is not low and the brake action is pretty linear but to get any significant response I have to dig in more. Interestingly, if I take my foot off and then press back...

I’ve been trying to get good braking performance on my truck since I bought it a little over a year ago. I figured I”d share some of this adventure in the hopes that it helps someone out. Obviously start by adjusting rear drums properly and bleed all four corners plus the LSPV 1. Brake...

The title describes my set up. Fj80 booster + T100 brake master + 4Runner calipers + Fj60 drums I put it all together and took it for a drive. It feels good for a bit then the brakes started dragging. About 10 miles into my drive I start down a large hill and smoke the front calipers. Small...

Hey folks, I'm selling the following brake line hoses. These are 5 of the 7 needed to extend your brake lines for 75mm+ lift. You'll still need to pick up the 2 fronts at the caliper. These are the brake lines referenced in this thread: OEM Extended Brake Lines w/ part numbers Toyota...

Hi all, I posted this forum a while back and the replies I got were pretty helpful so I figured I would try again . I have been on a budget quest to drive my mom’s old 94 cruiser across the continent again. However, recently, I noticed my rear driver side disc brake was getting scarred by the...

Update 5/2019: See Post #5 below for resolution of this ordeal. I've researched a few of the brake failure threads but this seems to warrant it's own as it is a specific sequence of events with a dealer service center leading to a potential failure. I have been driving my new-to-me '04 LX 470...

I began the process of installing new pads and rotors on my 94’ fzj80 today(not manual locking hubs). I am unclear on the torque specs and order on installing hub components and the hub itself(rookie mistake on my part) and my haynes manual isnt giving me the info i need. When reinstalling my...

Any recommended FJ40 mechanics around Treasure Valley? After a 4th of July loop thru Garden Valley/Placerville/ID City/Horsheshoe Bend, my 78 FJ40 decided brakes weren't needed anymore. Was used to having to pump a little sometimes to get decent braking pressure, but suddenly went straight to...

So, I am looking at putting 35's on my 09 LC here in the near future and figure at that time I will also re-gear it. Thinking 4:56 or there about. But I was also thinking being able to stop would be nice. For those with 35's did you get bigger or vented rotors to help with stopping?

Hi you all! I'm new on this place and I'm really not visit with frequency, just to read and learn hehehehe. I'm having a problem with my old lady Fj80 (non abs), I'm bleed the brakes due that sometimes I felt (and still filling) and irregular pressure on the brake pedal (a lack pressure being...

So I went with terrain tamer discs, then oem remanned calipers and TT pads, and still the truck didnt want to stop. No mind you it sitting on 37x 13.5 heavy nitto tires but even with the ABS pulled it wouldnt stop. So before this last trip east to west and thru the rockies I got napa calipers...

After installing new OME suspension, new tires and replacing the right front axle seal and dealing with that whole mess successfully, I think I've now spent more time messing with my brakes. Frustrated and need help! Here's the saga: When pulling the front hub apart to get the axle seal, I ended...

I am currently working on a 67 FJ40. I am having trouble ordering rebuild kits for the front cylinders. I wondering if anyone knows of a place to purchase them. I bought cruiser corps last pair of them and I am a pair short for the fronts. Also I am wondering the differences between model year...

SoCal FRONT ONLY FRONT ONLY FRONT ONLY Please specify year of your FJ80 since 91-92 uses a different system. Also have axle housings, steering arms, etc. Prices range from $40 to $125

Hi guys, I was wondering if any of you have experimented with the brake fluids, Dot 1 Dot 5, etc... What to expect of the different brake fluids? Thanks for your Insight

Hey Guys, (and Gals) I'm at my wits end, :bang: I've searched and searched and troubleshot everything I can think of and I still can't track down what's causing my front right caliper to lock up at slow speed stops. here's the skinny... it never locks up at speed never locks up when...
