    Hey guys, I have a cnc job shop with waterjet, wire edm, turning, machining centers in house heat treating and all. HMMMMMMM if I had a part to copy I could probably make these cheaper. Looks pretty simple to me . Just a thought let me know if anyone is interested.

    I have a set of these for sale I got a few years ago when this was going on. I'll take $80 shipped for the brackets and the hat bolts that I have for them.

    OK Got my set of brackets from knucklehead today, I hope you guys + gals arent paying too much for these. The quality does not justify the price !!!! I can make a part that looks far better than these. I wouldnt put my shop name behind the parts I received. Nothing against whom ever was making these, but I know i can make a better part !!!! Not to mention I can do it cheaper than yall have been paying. Getting a few more prices together for the hats and rotors to see what kind of a price break i can get. I am looking at selling these as a kit form. Receive your order , bolt the set up on. Take all the separate shipping costs and piece milling away . If yall have any other ideas im always open for suggestions. Business has been very slow lately as I'm sure everyone else allready knows. I LOVE THESE LITTLE TRUCKS !!!!!

    Would you be interested in making a similar bracket to hold a Wilwood caliper? The Wilwood stuff is not much more expensive, and just looks cleaner. I can provide a bracket for them.

    Got my stands and finally got a chance to boost some garage time at my dads.
    Works great! The brakes feel sooooooooooooo much better! Thanks for taking the time to
    get those made, Mike!

    I was going to take a picture of the finished install but my friend Sonya was over so she, uh, got in the way. :)

    The brackets that Mike had done. 4Runner calipers, the Wilwood hat and rotor, and steel braided lines.

    :funnyup:real class act aren't you? not only do you jack my thread and try to steal my business! But you bash parts i had made and talk trash:cool:

    :brickknock:


    that being said the parts were from emachineshop.com
    I'm just a back yard garage minitrucker not a machine shop!!!!
    i dont have a cadcam laying around and I did what I could


    considering if it wasn't for me NOBODY would have this upgrade except litneon

    sorry if the parts are not as amazing as you could have made

    I couldn't dump $$$thousands into this just to bring down the per piece price

    at $100 shipped it barely covers what they cost to me to have made

    point is they work!!!

    and if you got big rims:thinking:

    YOU NEED THESE BEFORE YOU REAREND SOMEONE~!!!!:verdict_in:


    and the best part is if you had just asked me I not only would have given you the specs but given you the new specs for one I have ready in emachineshop for the wilwood calipers and 1.25 thick rotors

    MTB68TOY, some people just talk out their asses!
    I bought a set of your brackets & they are just fine & work great. And I'm quite sure the others that bought them would agree!
    They are well in line with any machine shops pricing, & quality!
    Sure they could be made of stainless or billet aluminum for around $200 set!
    Keep up the work you doing & let this **** talk roll off!!:cool:

    I have the wilwoods ready to go

    they would use the wide mount dynalite and the 1.25 thick rotors


    just need to get the capital up for the order


    or maybe I could make a deal with someone who has a shop
    someone who isnt a JO!!

    I ordered a set of these and got them fast. But i need a list of what else i need i know i need hats and rotors but what size? also i read on another site that there is a set of wilwood calipers that have the same bolt hole as the sw13b calipers? so how much more diffrent are the wilwood stands compared to the toyota caliper stands? as i wasnt told about the new design when i ordered these?

    I've posted on this site & others all the part numbers & contacts of where I got parts from & the prices.
    As for the difference in calipers mounting I believe it is the hole center lines & hole dia. Would be the offset as well!:cool:

    I know I saw the parts but I couldnt find them the last few times I tried ill try searching again. And what would I search to see what I have to grind if any on mine as I dont have the dust shields when I put the yota stuff on they were not in the best shape. And im running dropped spindles. Also does anyone know on a core return could I return diffrent calipers or does it have to be sw13b calipers both ways? Cause I have a set of 17s and a set of nissan dual piston off my truck I could send back lol

    Also who has the downey off road kit on here? So I can pm questions too...
