Stoopid FJ40 Disc brake question - Pirate4x4.Com : 4x4 and Off-Road Forum

When converting my 40 to disc brakes front and rear, I'll still have the e-brake in the transfer case, right? So there's no need to set up an additional e-brake?

yes. You have to use eldorado calipers in the rear if you want to move the e-brake from the t-case to the rear brakes. But the t-case e-brake would be fine if you went the more common monte carlo caliper route
