Should be ready to take orders id say, he still needs to finalise a price though I believe.
The rear calipers where the easy bit and easy to instal, the handbrake was another story.

What sort of issues did you guys run into and where they hard to sort out?

No major issues, just little fiddly things which is where bud comes into his element on the cad stuff.
Rear brakes are standard GU rotors/calipers with a custom bracket to mount the caliper to standard Hilux housing end. (Will also need to change brake lines to suit caliper)
Hand brake is now transfer mounted with a go cart style caliper that clamps to the machined disc mounted to the rear tail shaft. ( this is where it became tricky to get right to have enough throw on the cable to clamp pressure)

Transfer mounted hand brake is ideal in my view, gives you more options with the rear diff, 4 link with full floater

Awesome work!

If your handbrake performance was anything like most of the Toyota's that I've owned, it's also nice to know that you're truck will still be where you left it when you get back!

Good to hear its on the road, the handbrake setup looks cool,
Wish i could just drop my ute of at buds one day

Looks good Toddie definitely on the list of things to do

So when are the 37" sticky treps getting fitted Todd

Read discs are a must with 35s, brakes like a new car.

Haha it's tempting now, would be nice to own a play set and travel to parks with them on, but I think for now the dirty 5s will do

How's the Truck going mate? still happy with the new brake setup? Will try and get mine in buds shop in the next month or two for the same thing so I can get the tyres plated.

Awesome truck Todd.
Happy new year to you and your brother, mate.

Two bearing set up, at the rear, for those 35s.
60 series front rotors and calipers.
You need a full floating axle, not a semi floating axle.

rear brakes are working a treat, hand brake needs a little adjusting still to be perfect.

Yeah get onto that engineer dude, you should be sweet to just add the extra codes as your mod numbers are under the new section anyways

Cheers John, and to you and the family.

Awesome info, will pass it on to buddy. Certainly need to sort the rear out.
