Well, i need some fj-40/early 60 rotors and mini truck calipers...Checker wants 69 a piece for the rotors. Is this good? NAPA wants 109pc. :eek: I dont want to think about the price of calipers. Where did you guys get your best deals and how much did you pay???

we used fj60 rotors on my brothers mini truck conversion & the worked great. I think the ones in the pics are not fj60 rotors. I think it also depends on what type of hubs your running. pre/ post 83 I believe. check Ih8mud & it should tell you what app you need for what hub your using & tell you haw to Id your hub. pretty straight forward.

rotor costs at CCoT are switched in post above.

the early to 1980 (5 bolt on type) are the expensive ones.

the late 1981 plus 2 bolt plus all 6 studs are the cheaper ones.

(I know, I buy them from the same wholesaler!)

Another important thing, is the rotors are really heavy and may be best to get them local. Freight will play into this and the sales tax may not be the deal killer.

Calipers (A-1 Cardone overhauls) loaded run about $45 at parts houses. You want 1979-1990 LC OR 1986-1989 IFS mini truck-same caliper price em!

I bought my Land Cruiser calipers at Pep Boys the best price I could find here in California, and turned in the used mini truck calipers in exchange the next week.
Good Luck

I got my '85 FJ60 rotors at Acme Auto for $28 each. About half the price as the next cheapest ones I could find
