Hey all I have 1993 4Runner that both axles in the front need to be replaced. I found a 1990 4Runner and was wondering whether or not the axles are compatible. If they are that would be great because I could use alot of the parts on my 85 4Runner any help would be appreciated.

The IFS front axle is the same from 86-95 with some of the diffs being ADD vacuum actuated... So yes, the CV's will swap.
Your 85 has a solid axle... not a lot is a direct swap from a 90, and almost nothing from the front axle, unless you want to widen your 85.... then there's a link in the FAQ you should read...

What I wanted to use was the rear axle for a wider rear, the calipers and brake master cylinder. Are any of these compatible?

Yes, the brake stuff can be used, check the FAQ for info on brake upgrades. You'll need Cruiser rotors to go with the calipers up front. If the 90 is a V6 then the master cylinder is probably an upgrade...
The '90 4Runner rear axle is setup for coils, not leafs that your '85 uses. You could convert your '85 to coils I guess... But, if not, I'm not sure it's worth the trouble to cut/grind off all the coil stuff and weld on spring perches. Rear axles are not that rare.
