brakes

Hi guys, I just put a Dobinson 65mm rear and 60mm front lift in my kzj78 prado. Was hoping I wouldn't need to extend my brake hoses but it looks like I have to do that, at full travel they are stretched tighter than a guitar string. So my question is: a) what size is the hose that i need to...

Hello all, I am looking for a trustworthy service shop in the Jacksonville, Florida area. My vehicle is a 2006 LX 470, and I want to have the front hubs, CV, brakes (rotors, pads, fluid) fully serviced. I typically do this stuff myself, but just don't have the time right now. I am going to...

Weird story, but I'll proceed. On Thanksgiving night, I had my FJ62 broken into. They damaged the lock cylinders on the hatch and the driver-side door, and eventually entered by breaking the rear, driver-side door window. Long story,short, I booked an appt with A Touch of Glass for the window...

Hey Y'all, I am currently trying to figure out my brake line situation on my '66 Resto-mod. I am swapping to a dual circuit brake cylinder with a brake booster most likely from an FJ80. The previous owner installed disc brakes from who knows what. I may look at swapping the calipers and...

I have had unimpressive brake performance for the last several years. I just went through my rear axle (which was leaking gear oil all over the drivers side) replacing bearings, seals, parking shoes, rotors, calipers (because one leaked as I pushed the piston back in), pads, and Slee...

I found a "brake maintenance kit" on jp-carparts.com. Does anyone know anything about these? I think it's a complete set of all seals for the brake system. There are two part numbers, and I don't know which (if either) would apply to US-market cruisers. The parts list shows: 04901-60211...

Helping a buddy list up his '86 FJ60 he started parting out locally but needs it gone. Despite being in Arizona now it's originally from New England and has an unusable frame. The body has some usable stuff, there's some decent interior parts, tailgate is nice, doors are pretty good, rocker...

Hey guys, how many miles before you needed a brake job? Do you always change the rotors? Did you do the front and back at the same time? Thanks, Carl

what is the best upgrade brake caliper set up for an 80? I took it thru MOAB up Imogene pass yankeeboy basin and it climbed every single thing i pointed it at not a prob, they only issue I have is even with new reman oem calipers rotors and pads its stop when i get around to it, Im in the middle...

Hi All, I recently returned from a 6 day deployment to the Gulf Coast with my volunteer search and rescue team (Texas Search and Rescue - TEXSAR), and have discovered smoke and a burning smell now coming out of the rear driver-side wheel area after driving. We deployed to Corpus Christi the day...

SoCal $550 including brakes, drag link and tie rod. Still in the car. Car will be on Jackstands. You will be pulling it. NO shipping. You can have the lower control arms too! I am not parting this axle out. If you need front parts, I also have the following: Hubs, Spindles, Axle Shafts...

SoCal Pulled the third out and it is in another car now. If you need spare parts, shafts, brake drums, or whatever, send me a message. I can usually ship same day.

Where is the best place to score all the brake lines to redo my 80? one per tire and others that go to axles?

Sorry for cross-posting, but I posted to the SQOD but didn't get any responses, and I'm trying to figure out an answer today. Tough Dog 2" lift completed yesterday. I have yet to get an alignment done. (it's scheduled for Tuesday) My mechanic's helper tore the CV boot when helping to pry out...

Ok did the rear rotors yesterday and Im starting birfileds tomorrow my question is where can I get the brake lines that go from caliper to axle all 4 of them .

Hello guys! I am looking to do a disc brake conversion on the front brakes of my 1973 FJ40. I've never done a disc brake conversion before. Where should I go for a conversion kit? (Everything included). What do you recommend if you've ever done one? Thanks in advance!

I have a 2016 Land Cruiser that experienced brake pulsing not felt through the pedal. While driving it on the interstate brakes are used to maintain intervals with traffic. This is when the whole vehicle would vibrate under a light load on the pedal. It was noticeable in the seat of the pants...

Taking alternate theories as to why my brakes are dragging? My shop accidentally put contaminated fluid in my brakes a month or so ago and its been a nightmare getting it right again. They eventually replaced my calipers, ABS module LSPV and Master cylinder and cleaned and flushed the lines...

Well, I went to replace my rear brake pads and rotors last night. I've got problems with noise and I think some friction when not pushing the pedal. The noise is a cyclical sound that picks up after about 5mph. It sounds like "shick shick shick shick", and speeds up/down with the vehicle speed...

Found this vehicle online, 1 1/2 hours away. No pics yet, talked to the salesman - fairly clean. But brakes are not working correctly. My daughter is able to look at it later today for me. Her husband is mechanically inclined. I have a '97, not new to cruisers. Looking for newer style, '97...
