Found this post on the TLCA forum. Anyone else done this?
This sounds GREAT! I've dumped over $1200 into FJ62 brakes in past 5
years - everything, EVERYTHING has been replaced w/ new oem 62 parts
including calipers, lspv, master etc... (SS flexi brake lines are the
only aftermarket) and they still suck
(booster is
only thing not replaced, but it checks out ok).
I have a few questions:
1) did the 4Runner calipers just bolt on?
2) what year did you use?
3) how did they mount to the rear?
4) parking brake?
5) proportioning valve needs?
Thanks!

junk yard and buy a FJ80 power booster. Then buy a new or
reconditioned FJ80 master cylinder. Then change your front disks to
'96 or later IFS four runner vented disks and four runner four piston
calipers. Then do the same in the back. You will have a rig that
will stop on a DIME everytime.
