    sorry Im bad at posting links....this is from hotrodcoffeeshop.com

    They have quite a few max/ram over there .....especially with eclipse turbo swap info

    4g63mightymax put viper brakes on his truck. Used the brake calipers and master cylinder but he didnt use the rotors. Went even bigger with cadillac cts rotors then needed 18 inch wheels for clearance. Its a lot of reading.

    I tried the isuzu rotors today the offset is real close to stock rotor,the bolt pattern on the rotor are different where the hub bolts up




    The stock 2wd rotor on the left,97 Isuzu rodeo rotor in the Middle, and montero rotor on the right, the isuzu rotor is the same diameter as the montero but the isuzu rotor is a lot thicker,but the montero has bigger vanes for cooling,I have a couple more rotors to try this week to see what fits.

    If I remember correctly, the guy who did the viper brake swap said it wasnt worth his time to make a kit for other people.

    Im interested in rear disc brakes..... the rear drums arent that small.....just thought it would be cool. Came across a 1990 isuzu rodeo 4x4 v6 in the junkyard today . I thought I would share that the e-brake is built into the caliper which would be good for our trucks. I took the rotor off to test fit on a mighty max. The bolt pattern is the same and the rotor will slide right on backwards. The center hole of the rotor is the same size as the center hole of the drum But if you flip it around like its supposed to be installed it wouldnt fit the axle because the inside diameter of the rotor would not slide over the axle flange of the mighty max.

    I ran out of brake pad life waiting for bigger rotors. Lol. Bought new oem sized pads for now. Anyone look into Toyota rotors? I remember the front 5 bolt swap was Toyota hubs. Maybe 5 bolt got more options?

    Foolonthehill i think posted a thread with a source for oversize brake kit for the people running the toyota 5-lug swap. It was about $700the and came with wilwood calipers.

    I am going to be making a big brake kit for my truck(toyo 5 lug swapped) in about a month or so that shouldnt cost much. I already have it planned out.

    1997 Isuzu Rodeo. Dana 44 They even had the "Iron Man" series, but good luck finding one. It was a Dana 60. You will never find one. I tried and failed.
    Disk with durum parking brakes. The Emergency brake cables are nearly impossible to find after market. Or you can get them through the dealer for $150 each. Just get a complete rear end and swap it over into your truck. There nearly the same width. 2 inch wider. You will never see it. Hole rear end is about 350.00. Then you can put in lockers, LSD, ARB, parts are made for this thing and easy to find. You can even get new ring and pinions of what ever size you want, along with new larger axles. Just cut off and replace the spring perches to fit your spring width. You can get new anti wrap perches below. Just measure your spring width and order for a 3" housing. Then all that you need to do is adapt the drive shaft to fit. They may need to cut off a little, but it's worth it. The parking brake cables are the hard part. Nothing fits. You will need to come up with a way to make it work on your truck. I'm sure you can do it. I did, it's listed in my build thread on how I did it.

    The wife is over there at your place right now. I can give you her hotel and you can go over and ask her to help. But she will probably tell you to call me...

    I know this is an old thread but I would like to know if people have had any success with finding some rotors to fit the Montero calipers? Obviously there are lots of ways to skin a cat....here is an expensive way but a very nice one...http://www.cardomain.com/ridepost/29...ubishi-triton/ Check out the pictures of his nice Wilwood set up....

    Cheers

    You got a link to your build thread.. I just made this connection with the Dana 44 a week or so back as I am looking to get some taller gears and disc brakes for the Max.. I would love to look over what you done before I start mine..

    Thanks
