Can't stop your Land Cruiser? Tired of adjusting to keep them stopping
straight? Outraged at the high price of drum brake parts? So were we,
so we came up with JT Outfitter's front disc brake conversion
kit.
This conversion kit will allow you to remove and replace your old,
inadequate
drum brake set with a superior disc brake set. This conversion
was
designed for use on 8/70 to 9/75 FJ40 or 55 (may work on early years
but
brake line fits are different and you will need a dual circuit
hydraulic
system).
There are several ways to convert your axle to disc brakes, but we
think this is the simplest and least expensive. Popular ways
include swapping another axle in (flanges rarely match and you still
have worn used components)
or Mini-Truck / FJ60 Swap (hours
of
labor, trip to the machine shop for the knuckle arms or shimming,
grinding considerable amount of metal off your axle housing, diving
into the
birfield, tie rod end incompatibility,
and still worn used
components.
You can always stick with drums, $70 per wheel cylinder (the good
ones from Toyota, not the Taiwan leakers), $100 per drum, shoes,
springs, lines, and more. This will add up to about $600 to do
right
and you still have drums.
This is a complete kit to convert from your current drum brake
system. You get the powder coated backing plates, vented rotors,
loaded calipers, hoses, and all the hardware. One great idea was
keeping this kit simple. We used the same components as the
common rear disc brake conversion. This means simple inexpensive
maintenance, trail spares are kept at a minimum, and anywhere anytime
availability. The magic is our bracket. This represents
much design and test work, and finally after several runs we are able
to offer a strong, powdercoated, CNC laser-cut, caliper bracket that
bolts to your existing knuckle house at the spindle. There is nothing
in this kit besides our bracket that connot be replaced at your local
auto parts store. We have sold literally hundreds of these kits with
many happy customers.
