I rebuilt the Toyota axles in the 55 willys and the guy on the youtube video said these calipers were an upgrade...I don’t think they fit right as the rotor is not located in the center... Even tho they bolted right up?

Toyota axle brake caliper fitment

are those IFS calipers? I believe you have to use the IFS vented rotors along with them
Or a different caliper bracket
is that bleeder valve supposed to be on the bottom?

They are 89 pickup v6 4x4 calipers.
Maybe I need the 4cyl ones. The front axle is a 4cyl axle but iirc the v6 ones are an upgrade. Rotors are for an 81-85 pickup.
I think I effed up. The videos says these parts are an upgrade:
1982 fj40/60 front rotors
1989 v6 front caliper
And that an 1986+ ifs hub is optional.

Not sure haha they aren’t for this application so went with how they fit...
Are these floating style calipers?
Or are they fixed.
Are they 4 piston calipers?
If they are floating they should self center

I am not sure…haven’t gotten a chance to take a look at them in a while

I am not sure…haven’t gotten a chance to check.
the 86 ifs hub is an interesting mention. I have NO idea what compatibility would be like for the solid axles, but its the only IFS year that didn't have the front end locked in all the time with solid flanges. If you want an automatic, and IFS- '86 is the year to look for.
i think the whole point of doing these upgrades is to end up with the wider, vented rotor?? In my opinion- stay away from the the FJ40 part numbers. some of the early FJ40 and FJ55 front discs are different, and expensive to find new calipers and backing plates, rotors... etc. although, i believe the last FJ55 of mine had those rotors that go over the wheel studs from the outside, and attach to the face of the hub with a couple big countersunk screws. no pressing wheel studs to get the rotors off, so they are much easier to work on, but the parts were 3 times the cost.
The Fj60 stuff was much less expensive last time i was doing Toyota stuff. the hubs and stub axles/birfields may be interchangeable with the minitruck stuff... cant remember. i would gravitate towards the fj60/62 stuff.
