I have a leaf sprung 2.6 87 Montero. I know I can swap in a leaf spring sport axle or modify an SR axle but I can't find them locally anywhere and shipping is way too much.

I have found this

And this
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-gen-t4rs/106636-rear-disk-brake-conversion-pt-1-a.html

I could either fab up a bracket like they did in the second link or, if the dimensions on the axle shaft mounts are the same, use some of the conversion kits available. Does anyone happen to know the mounting dimensions for toyotas? I tried searching but didn't find anything.

If I can accomplish disc brakes I can just swap an LSD for cheap or get an ARB locker in a few years.

If I were you i'd just order the Montero Sport axle from a junkyard, get the one with the locking diff. then you will have disc brakes and an air locker for hundreds of dollars. It's an easy swap, you'll need to drill your pinion flange and clearance the radius for the bolt heads.

There's one in South Bend Indiana for $150 4.63 ratio, you confirm the disc brakes.

Thanks that's a great find. I had a deep creek crossing and apparently screwed more up than I thought, so I'll have to wait a bit. I believe I have water in my gas tank now. It wants to die after going around a turn and especially going up a hill. After sitting for a while in the garage, if you start it and let it just run and sit there it seems to run fine.

I think I'm going to drain the tank and maybe put a Holley 5200 with a Weber adapter plate on it.
