Mini Truck is the best deal for the $$$. I just finished my conversion and it was a lot easier than I thought. Here is a price list:
Knuckles '80 Toy truck=$100
Gasket Kit=$29
'86 4Runner Calipers (loaded) @ NAPA=$61ea/$122 total
'81 LC FJ40 Rotors @ Kragen=$51ea/$102 total
'79 LC FJ40 Steering Arms=$100
Misc parts(brake lines, fluid, grease,rags,etc...)=$25
Total spent............................$478
What you get for this is a butt load of braking power and everything is new. I had the option of swapping in a '78 LC front axle. The axle was $650, then buy the rebuilt calipers, replace/resurface the rotors, buy the knuckle rebuild kit and the price would have quickly reached $800+++. I chose the parts carefully (with the help of IH8MUD.COM's archives) and now have the larger pistons in the calipers, vented rotors, and steering arms that fit my old tie rod ends. Everything bolts up with no fabricating,(except grinding on the axle) and I am very happy.
