Sweet. There is really nothing more to say. Well, other than what I imagine a few people are wondering. . .

Have you determined if a unmodified Isuzu truck rotor will fit on an unmodified Toyota axle? I hope so, because that rear brake setup looks choice. Also, it appears that the parking brake lever pulls side to side/paralell to the axle?

Keep up the good work.

Still not sure about the size of the stock axle. Do you know how big they are in diameter? I doubt it will without some grinding, You could grind off about a 1/8" or so and you should fit. You also need to drill the holes out a bit to clear the shoulders on the wheel studs. The calipers do not come with the brake hoses or banjo bolts, those you need to pick up.

Parts list so far:
1. Brake calipers for 89 Isuzu 4x4 pickup, $112.00 a set as autozone + $90.00 core charge.
2. Brake rotors same 89 pickup, $53.98 ea. Autozone
3. Brake hoses same 89 pickup, $14.00 ea. Autozone
4. Banjo bolts from dealer, $5.00 ea.
5. New bolts to hold the wheel bearing to axle with caliper bracket.  6@10mm x 45mm , 2@10mm x 35mm , 8@10mm crush lock nuts.
6. 5/8" plate carved into brackets.
7. E brake cable unknown at this time.
