Cheap brake calipers. (1 Viewer)

Hit and miss on if you get crusty rebuilt east coast calipers or nice California ones.

Cheers

And when you got real lucky you received brand new in place of reman.

@Batameez : So you have a 1996 FZJ80? Which calipers are looking for, front or rear?

IME if you have a 96 model and you're looking for remanufactured Front Toyota calipers and the parts counter says they don't have any that will fit
then ask for reman'd front calipers for a 94 model, they are identical IME. The part number may have changed for various reasons over the years (a parts guru may add more info as to why the numbers have changed) but IME the front calipers for 93-97 models are identical.

14 years ago when my local parts counter said there were no reman's for a 96 model I asked for 94 model front calipers. The calipers were identical with the same casting number for 94 and 96 models, only the part numbers in the Toyota parts system were different.

FWIW

Yes, it's a 2/1996 build. Just the fronts needed. Just got the notification they shipped from Fedex. I think everything will be fine.

$160 for a '96

I installed mine this week. The core charge was 60$ a pop. But only 24$ each caliper. And I had a return. So only paid 10$.
And they have that like “chrome” looking plating lol.

Always listen to what @OGBeno has to say as opposed to the children that staff the parts counters.

NAPA Eclipse Calipers

Awesome - thank you. From an old @beno post: 90430-10074 for the high pressure gaskets. 90401-10015 for the high pressure fittings.

These reman calipers are a great deal, and look really good. However I was the lucky one that received one rebuilt with the wrong pistons, and pads would not fit. After much struggle I figured out the issue was that it was rebuilt with longer pistons.

Pictures for reference, and double check the measurements before you spend a bunch of time like i did

Think this a good place to ask - What about the early 1992 3FE FJ80 calipers? Saw a screenshot of @OGBeno saying 4775060030 is long gone/discontinued - Driverside LH Caliper. What are people buying these days? My brake caliper internals where the pistons live are slightly pitted - anyone tried a miniscule dab of epoxy on those pits?

Having a hard time finding a Caliper for the early 1992 FJ80's - any help will be super appreciated.

Here is an image of the piston cylinders. Is this pitting acceptable?

Those look like junk to me. I would not install those on my truck.
