Hello All,
Here are some specifics for performing the Front Range Off Road (FROR) Tundra brake mod on the front axle of a 60 Series Land Cruiser. This combination of master/caliper seems perfectly balanced with pedal travel, feel, and response. Braking performance is a huge improvement over OEM and capable of stopping heavy loads with oversized tires. Toyota has been (and still is) using these components for 18 years. FROR's adaptor has also been in service for many years. I sincerely wish there were more threads to hold the caliper bolts but have not read about any failures.
This modification consists of replacing the following parts:
Brake master cylinder to 1993 FJ-80,
This installation used Advics p/n BMT-090
Brake calipers to 2005 Tundra, Toyota LH p/n 47750-0C020, RH p/n 47730-0C020
This installation used Power Stop p/n 1PST S2712
Brake pads to 2005 Tundra, Toyota p/n 04465-35290
This installation used Power Stop p/n 1PST Z36-976
Brake rotors to 2005 Tundra, Toyota p/n 43512-0C011
This installation used Power Stop p/n 1PST JBR935XPR
FROR brake mounting kit
Tacoma and 4Runner Brake Mounting Kit
Wheel hub to a FROR modified IFS hub
Full Tacoma Brake mounting kit.
Wheel size will need to increase to 16" or more. Tundra stock steelies were 16x7" I have not verified fitment of 16".
This installation used Method Racing 17x8.5" wheels with 4.75" back spacing.
Method Racing p/n MR301785602500
Axle width is increased by 1 5/8" ? per side (still verifying this).
The Tundra mod can also use (according to FROR) 2017 Tacoma disks and calipers. I believe this to be accurate based on comparisons between disk dimensions. They are similar but not exactly the same. The rotor sets deeper onto the hub on the Tundra/Sequoia than on the 4 Runner/FJ Cruiser/Tacoma. Calipers and disks would need to be matched and not interchanged. There are a variety of years and models which will bolt up.
I've chosen to continue to refer to this as the Tundra Mod because that's what we've been calling it for years. FROR has made this product for years. When it first came out the Tundra was where they were sourcing their parts. It seems that they have now found a multitude of other possibilities. The basic principal is the same.
