ARB Lockers and Full Floating Rear Axle

[robmir]

Can the new, larger rotors just be swapped onto the front axle if I go to 16" wheels? that seems like a cost effective upgrade when it comes time to change the rotors some day.

Unfortunately you can´t

Is there any way to make a '91 fj80 SF axle into a FF? Has anyone converted one?

Nope.

I'll probably upgrade the rear axle. Probably. Can the new, larger rotors just be swapped onto the front axle if I go to 16" wheels? that seems like a cost effective upgrade when it comes time to change the rotors some day.

I spoke with a mechanic at a toyota dealer about the front axle and he told me that the steering knuckle is the same so looks like you need to replace only the caliper, the pads, the rotor and of course upgrade to 16" wheels.

If that´s true you could find a bend front axle at a junkyard and take out what you need to do the upgrade.
