Rear Disc Brake Conversion MAF vs. SOR vs. JTO

80 series rear boys. You can't go wrong with Toyota engineering. My parking brake needs a pivot on the rear axle but it works for now. I just added a wee bit of a e-brake spacer to adapt the different axle length.

i’d bet diamond axle would make an adapter for their rear brakes off of the newest generation fjcruiser. i️ have them on my 40. we’d have to cut out axle tubes and weld in a sleeve i’d think but then we have a modern disc/drum combo. we’d also have to fab up a custom e brake cable but it would likely work well. maybe more effort than it’s worth though

Any chance you have a write-up on what you did? The one thing I always wondered about was converting the 80 axle from a Coil-Over to Leaf Sprung suspension. Looks like you added some extra armor to your axle too? Other than that did you do any other modifications to make the FZJ80 rear axle work with your parking brake?

Yes I do have a write up. Axle is from a 95 USA model fj80

I have driveshaft parking brake just aft of TC, so there is no issue with loosing it on the wheels.

What is a drive shaft parking brake?
