Montero sport got leaves and discs but it's not really considered a montero in the rest of the world, it's called a challenger. SUV based on the truck (Triton) frame.

Hmmm, I must have been seeing things when I almost bought the rear disk rear from a 91 4 door montero about a year ago - it was leaf springs also. I currently have a 9" lsd rear with disks from a 95 montero - it was trailing arms with coils, panhard rod and airshocks - got it all with the driveshaft for 200.

got to thinking about this and how to do this for reasonable money wise. Here is what i came up with after some research. What if you put stock 50 rotors from front on rear same bolt pattern same center bore. only issue could be backing plate spacing but your going to, have to modify it anyway for caliper. Then use a caliper from 88-95 Isuzu Trooper has rear discs and caliper has built in manual e-brake that is designed to work with hand lever. So mods needed would be backing plate, custom caliper mounting bracket, brake line, and maybe ebrake attachment to cables. did i miss anything.
that would work. it just takes a bit of measuring. Jeremy over at HRCS put Viper rear disk calipers on his turbo max. You would need to make sure the offset of the rotor will allow the rim to be on without hitting the caliper, the MM rotor might not work but a tape measure and some time would tell....
Front rotors on the d50 do not go over studs, but the rear rotors from the montero do - haven't tried the new rotors I have from the 9" rear on the rear of the 1980 d-50 rear, but I will this weekend when pull the drums and let you know what I find.

good call on the rotors over studs..., i didnt even see that part, i was referring to making the caliper work by fabbn a bracket..
97 Isuzu Rodeo. $350 complete from the junk yards. But get it with the E-brake cables. It it the best way to go. But if you can find the Iron Man version it is a Dana 60 Rare to find but you never know.

There is an iron man here on base, think the owner might get a peeved if i appropriated his rear axle. doing some more research thinking just the rear rotor from a rodeo or trooper would work only issue might be its diameter.

I thought this was interesting. Apparently there is a rear disc kit for toyota pickups. The guys at minitrukin mag wrote an article several years ago. since they had already done the toyota five-lug swap. It seems the thing to do is get the yota rear axle with a supra limited slip. Pretty cool. Unfortunately I didnt see anything about the emergency brake. I gotta have the e-brake on a manual trans truck. The kit looks like 90's era gm stuff like s10, astro van , etc. ( with custom brackets and spacers). When i followed the link to the supplier I came up empty so i dunno if they still make it or how much it is.
I already have 05 chevy 1500 wheels on my truck and I was hoping to get the rear disc setup from a similar truck since the bolt pattern is the same. I would just have to enlarge the hub hole in the center of the rotor to slide it onto the axle. Problem is the e-brake is not part of the caliper ( its a drum brake style e-brake assembly inside the rotor hat). So maybe I can still use the rear rotors providing that the offset does not interfere with anything and then source a caliper from some other vehicle.
The disc brake kit for the yota rear was from downey off road - been around for many years. Its the same setup as on Ernie Macais' cover truck - too bad the ahole who slammed into him didn't have that setup.

the company is no longer around, BUT tre 5 customs makes a bracket to use gm metric calipers and mustang svo rotors. brackets cost $150, i just talked to him about it on facebook last week... If you want to use an emergency brake then use caddy calipers...i dont know all the years right now but i have it somewhere...This is a for sure info.
