Today I pulled my front wheel off to check the fit of my steelies (they fit) that I’m installing soon. If anyone has an idea of who makes these discs and calipers I’d greatly appreciate some input. No issues right now just curious. Thanks

the entire Front Axles of both Mini Trucks and FJ40 land cruisers free wheel hub to free wheel Hub was Forged , Cast and Milled by the to
companies at the time whom now have Merged since as understand it to be , ASCO and AISIN
now fall under the bid watchful big brother of TOYOTA Motors Ltd. Japan and simply are now called AISIN
spacer? I don't see a spacer, the rotor and calipers could easily be switched over to vented rotors and wider calipers then you would have standard issue Landcruiser disc brakes, but the mini truck stuff works fine for stockish aplications.
looked at the pic again, looks like the reemed out the steering arm for bolts and heim joints versus tapered tie rod ends.
This is incorrect.
ASCO= Aisin Seiki Corporation = Aisin. They are one in the same. There was no merger between ASCO and Aisin. ASCO is Aisin.
Also, Aisin only manufactures the hub end components like the calipers, pads (sometimes), rotors. The axle housings and differentials themselves were manufactured by Toyota in-house at the Honsha plant during this time period.
They are currently manufactured at the Motomachi plant.
The calipers are a dead giveaway.
The "3 Mountain" stamping is the old corporate logo for Aisin Takaoka. They manufacture pretty much most of Toyota's rotors, brake drums, aluminum and cast brake calipers. So if you see those stamped on your rotor/drum or caliper, you know that it's an OEM manufacturer in either factory or aftermarket form.

Color of the hub tells me that is from a 1979 4wd mini truck. Solid rotor and all.
