I know this has been covered, and yes i have searched but my search on marlin's board isn't working. well my question is, what rotors do i use for the swap? i know marlin has some but i know there are some out there for a little cheaper. I have heard that the rotors you get are off of an 81-? FJ40 but i have also heard that the ones you need to get are the ones off of an 82-? FJ60. Which one is it? thanks

I used ifs truck calipers and '84 fj60 rotors. I think the fj40 and fj60 rotors are the same though.

From 76 to 97 I think it was all cruiser rotors are compatible.

ok, well i got some 82 fj40 rotors from kragen and they are about 1/8 of an inch less thick than the ifs rotors. arent they the same?

They are fine. You shouldn't have any issues.

I have found that the cheap chinese or tiwan made rotors start near minimum thickness. Personally I wouldn't use them on a toyota front end because changing the rotors is labor intensive. I used Brembos on my truck. I cant remember the part number, they are top quality. Only about $50 each. I would return those cheapies to Kragen and get something better.

At minimum get the best ones they sell at the chain store. Or just order them from Marlin.
