    Rear disc conversion on my first Gen that's going to be hauling a dirtbike, camping gear, spares, extra fuel and water on board? Which kit do you guys have experience with and what recommendations do you have for me? I know of the trail gear kit, but I'm not stoked on the idea of using a line-lock as a Parking Brake. Anyways thanks for the tips guys.

    I wouldn't do disc brakes for the rear. I'd upgrade the front end to the tundra calipers, rotors, pads. I would then make sure my rear drums and shoes were in good shape. Most people don't get as good of performance from the rear disc conversion kits.

    @mechanicjon has a pretty sweet setup in the classifieds right now. If I was ever considering doing a disc conversion on the back, I would go with that setup since it keeps use of the ebrake.
