Just realized I’m metal on metal on my rear brakes. Trying to find pads & rotors ASAP. Wondering if FZJ80 full float parts interchange? That would make sourcing parts today much more feasible, if so.

80 series are different but I seem to remember someone here on Mud stating that FJ cruiser was the same . This could have been about the backing plates also .

Hope to find a good alternative as I need a set in the near future to .
 
FJC rotors work on a Prado, so I doubt they’d work with a FF rear axle. Any chance you have some other photos of your rotor? This is what my originals and the FJC ones look like:

Hello,

A FF axle rear may complicate things.

It is worth checking 'Mud vendors. So is filling the imported vehicle form from Toyota and finding out if it is still available.

Use ToyoDIY.com - https://www.toyodiy.com/ to find any model/year compatibility for the part numbers. I was able to find all parts, with exception of a parking brake cable, for my HZJ73. It has a full float rear axle and disk brakes. See my Good Times build thread for brake replacement details for it.
Parking brake cables for the rear disc 73/75 axles are NLA unfortunately . Might be good to find a place that can make a custom cable and do a group buy to make it worth their time
 
I would reach out to Cruiser outfitters.
If they don’t have them they can most likely point you in the right direction 😜
 
I just got my rear HZJ-73 axle rebuilt. We used FJ Cruiser rotors and calipers. The calipers are switched left to right, and of course Fj Cruiser pads. The park brake cable and e brake parts went back smoothly. It will be a couple of weeks before it goes back under the truck. We are actually swapping in a refreshed set of axles with air lockers into my 98.
The brake hose mounting is very tight looking but I am getting FJ Cruiser brake hoses and they look like they will work.
Soooooo, long story short, I am 90% sure this all works but will be a couple weeks before knowing for certain

The FJ calipers definitely work. See my build thread for parts details. I have rear rotors from Terrain Tamer. I used stock brake hoses and lines. Assembly of the parking brake is a pain in the ass 😳
What’s the part number for the FJ rotors? I've got it as 42431-60311. The 73 is 42431-60180
Here is a pic of my rear rotor. It looks like it has fewer holes then the one you've got. Speed Holes - LOL!!!

I got my rotors/calipers from Napa. Not my favorite choice but they were in stock 5 minutes away and we were ready for them. There are 2 sets of slightly different 6 hole patterns, not sure why but that doesn't hurt anything so no harm, no foul.
 
I'm not going for a restoration on this truck, mainly upkeep and maintenance. That said, I think that e brake cable has to come off and get some love. It looks terrible!
