Bigger rotors

[Rickdees]

You have me wondering about the brakes on 4 wheel drive trucks, when you have an itch, you itch it.
So with that said, more input is needed. I hope Kane (MainstreaM) see's this so he'll give his much needed 2 cents worth.

Larger brakes parts from 1992 Montero compared to 1986 4x4 Power Ram 50. Matching part numbers.

Mighty Max/Ram 50 4x4

91 Montero


There IS MORE reseach to do, so don't jump the gun and blame me.
Will the 91/92 Montero spindle/knuckle fit the 1st. gen 4x4 trucks?

[Rahtid]

The 4X4 rotors have a different offset compared to the 4X2,when you bolt the rotors to the hub there is not enough room for the caliper bracket to fit between the rotor and spindle.

The 4X4 rotors have a different offset compared to the 4X2,when you bolt the rotors to the hub there is not enough room for the caliper bracket to fit between the rotor and spindle.

So the 4x4 hub assembly will fit the 4x2 spindle? Do the 4x4 rotors fit the 4x2 hub? What year/model 4x4 rotors did u try?

[Rahtid]

The 4x4 has to be drilled to fit the 4X2 hub, but there still the wrong offset, once you tighten the nut on the spindle the rotors wont move it's hitting the back of the spindle
