TORSPD: NEVR

Ok need this in my life.

 

@Torspd is that the Stoptech kit? I'm trying to figure out how to get a Ford 9" rear end with 6 lug disc brakes together lol

 

You worried about shearing your shafts, or? What about chromoly shafts?

 

No, I'm worried about- I don't know WTF I'm doing and trying to figure out where/what to order lol. I'm looking at a full float 9" from Ruffstuff, but all of their brake stuff comes with 5 lug stuff. I'm guessing I can order it all through Ruffstuff and just order a 6 lug rotor of the same size and that should work?

 

Here is another option. Front range off road does a full float with disc brakes 6 lug.

 

I see the 9.5" axle, but what Diff goes in that? I'd like to be able to order the diffs through ECGS and possibly just burn on shock mounts and leaf mounts with everything else set up lol

 

I think it's out of a Tundra or a Landcruiser, but it's been a while. You should really give them a call instead. I've been messaging Brian about this for a while, but he's not on TW that often, so it would be faster to call. I think you will be able to source the diff from ECGS, but don't trust my word on that.

 

Interesting.

 

If it's a diamond axle from front range with a 9.5diff it should be from the land cruiser

 

It's pretty easy to build a 9" with 6 lug. There are a lot of places to choose from. You can piece it together like building a gun.

Yeah I've been eyeballing stuff a bunch, just can't find it online. Not quite ready to make calls for it all. I'll know my budget in about a month and a half after a couple awesome checks lol. Wife wants house stuff first, then paying off the Motorcycle, then Truck fund gets a bump. Working 2 months straight with like 8 days of OT on each check means I moved up from "I need to regear" to "I'm just gonna get a 9" and get it over with. And front and back lockers".

 

They aren't cheap, but when you add up gears locker you are like shit I should just go all out. I thought about a 9" too.

 

Exactly. Hence why I want to just order through ECGS to at least get the diffs on hand, then I can build a 9" with whats left. I have a 80's something econoline axle sitting in the garage, but the axles are 31 spline and I've been advised to just go 35 spline, and it looks a little beat up lol. Really need to get it trussed but worried about warping it when I truss it. Ugh.

 

Wow, nvm, Just found the full assembled Axle on Ruffstuff. Was looking at the wrong spot lol. $2750 or so for the assembled axle, trussed and armored. Figure a little more for the TC lower shock mounts and some new U bolts and leaf mounts and such....and then another 4k or so for Diffs....hmmmm interesting.

 

I certainly will.

Negative. The bracketry and e-brake cable kit is from www.sosperformance.com

The rotors are StopTech, which I picked up from Amazon. 2006 4Runner, as well as the caliper and brake pads. Still need the shoes and the other caliper.

I wanted just the slotted rotors, but they were not available at the time.

I also purchased a can of POR15 red caliper paint. So that the rears will match the front. I want to be different and do yellow, but then decided to just make them match.

 

Interested to see your results as well. Is a proportioning valve needing when installing a rear disc conversion?

 

Yes

 

Unless you switch out for the FJ Master cyclindwr and stuff IIRC

 

Interesting, do you know if the FJ's were vacuum or hydraulic?

 

Interesting, seems like the proportioning valve would be easier, and you can do finite adjustments when needed. Very pricey brake kits from SOS Performance
