Topic: Does anyone make a rear disk bracket - toy caliper / rotor

[Redeyejedi]

sky makes a rear disk brackets, but for the gm style calipers. Does anyone make a setup to use toyota calipers?

[red]

This is what I found, it says it's for a 95 1/2 and newer Tacoma though. I also think I saw a rear conversion using the Tacoma rear caliper somewhere but haven't been able to find it yet. oh yea, disk brake adapters

I doubt that, If they were to small they would not come off the front. Front brakes do seventy percent of the stopping. I think it would be because of no e-brake.

I meant the rear Taco caliper for the rear disc conversion I saw someplace.

[Redeyejedi [OP]]

well, i'd like to use the front set off an ifs 89-95 or newer even. sky said they dont make one casue the toyota parts are too expansive and the chevy montecarlo ones work well. i said but i want to go-all-yot and wanted and adapter to do rear disks brakes with toyota ifs fronts. and ideas?   

[Cheesemaker]

Go with the sky setup.  Smaller calipers will work better than the stock drum setup! 

Check with Mark, he has discs on the rear of the Mammoth!

Techtafab does he makes brakets to mount toyota 85 and earlier claipers and rotors on the rear.

[Redeyejedi [OP]]

couldnt find the brackets. arent the later calipers 4 and 6 piston? and werent the pre-86 2 piston? please correct me if me gots its confused.

[Yota85]

IIRC the 4X4 calipers are all 4 piston pre-86 but i maybe confused too. heres a link to the install to get the brakets youll have to contact techtafab.  http://www.muchadoproductions.com/forums/showthread.php?t=349

yeah, i have seen that thread before and its a good one!!! except for step # 8. hitting hammers can be bad news.
i'll shoot techtafab a line and see what i can find out.

[Yota85]

Yeah #8 is a little scary but they work good with the chevy 1ton m/c i can lock my tires up no problem.(not always a good thing)

[Nothingface5384]

ruff and tuff does sell a bracket for the minis that use taco stuff...also machado sells a bracket that uses toy stuff minus the mc which is a 1ton chevy mc....but mentioned above go with the techfab/machado kit

[Redeyejedi [OP]]

does anyone have any pics of the brakets or know anyone whos runnin the setup?

[KDXSR5]

Check this out. It's a full floater kit that also switches over to all toyota disc brake stuff. Scroll down, and kit #2 uses solid front axle hardware.  http://frontrangeoffroadfab.com/nfoscomm/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=94&osCsid=46dd8dcd9823e4b938cab30e61cc26b8

[Redeyejedi [OP]]

i likes that full floater setup  .... but thats like $1000 upgrade they have the cheaper route....the no e brake option.....which actually brings up another 2 part question. with stock rear drum ebarake being the satndard, how buch better is the holding power of fror's floater design? and allpro's driveline brake? and also, i am on the streets a lot an was wondering which option would be best for handbrake starts on steep hills? (not that i need this tactic, nor know anyone who does....   8) ) but...

[Goose]

good question...
id like to know about the all-pro transfer case e-brake.
the thing looks spiffy, and they say it will hold on a 45 degree incline..
anyone got one to prove it?
