Can anyone help? "I have a 93 4L Diesel Japanese spec Hilux truck, with solid axle/leaf spring front-end. When it comes to your braking fix, do you know if I can use calipers off the Hilux Surf, and what do I need to look for on Japanese spec land cruisers to know if I can use it's rotors or not. I'd also like to try to bring it back to America, do you know any company that can help me figure out what is needed and do you think it's worth it."

In 93 it would be a tossup depending on equipment as to what size of calipers and MC it came with.

However a friend here in Guatemala just told me that his brother in law tried to import a Landcruiser pickup FJ105 and the emissions changes alone would cost 10000 USD <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/zombie.gif" alt="" />. He quickly decided against it. Emissions should really be the only problem and since the vehicle is a lil older it may not be a problem Don Iler 97 4cyl.
