corey... true. the newer IFS V6 calipers bolt on (at least they did with my 1982) and to gain anything from them it is recommended that you upgrade to the 1" bore master cylinder like robb said. for the rear you can get the '86+ larger shoes / drums / wheel cylinders or do the rear disk conversion this might be the link robb is looking for. this guy seems to have done a lot of trial and error and finally came up with something he was happy with... home.4x4wire.com/erik/4runner/brakes/hope this helps! -michael

thanks guys .. yep , I new about the master as well , but i'm not sure if I want to "up grade the rear "
I need to "cut " these rotors , so I was thinking of doing the bigger brakes on the fronts .. i'm only going 33's

Get that t100 booster and diapham is there...had not heard of that one before, heard of people using Chevy's..that extra diameter would be a big plus. Was the price much difference?

so got er' done today .. First off the hub is "prepped" for the new rotor .. never-sieze is always a good idea Rotor is put on , and bolted with the 2 bolts , as well as the studs replaced and "poped" in .. pre-packing all the bearings , makes things go quick once you get going . inner bearing , and seal , installed . then , time to put it back on the spindle .. with clean hands , "place" the rotor over the spindle , and "seat" the seal onto the spindle , then you can put the front bearing , shim/spacer , and the first nut then you can tighten to "spec" (sorry , I have done this so often , I just do it by feel now .. ) next is the lock ring and second nut .. when your installing these .. dont forget to bend over the "tangs " on the lock now time to install the snap ring .. a 8MMX 1.25 will thread into the end of the axle .... pull out the axle , and install the snap ring . hub selector is next . It only fits one way .. and can be challinging if you dont know how . There is a "tang" on the ingaging hub it is installed on the "open" area of the hub , with NO key way . slide the hub in , and bolt er' down all done .. a little dusty .. but ready to go
