Getting the Wheeling Fever
I'm curious, was any generation of the Montero ever equipped with 4-wheel disc brakes? If so which one(s)?

My gen1 has rear discs. It also has a 95SR rear axle.

I always wanted to try to put discs from a Montero Sport on the gen1 9in.


I just want to tell you both good luck, and we're all counting on you.

Is there a write-up for the V6 brake swap? The swap plus a Sport axle sounds like a good all-around upgrade for us 4 pots.

I put the 95 SR in my SWB 90 - it's a great add for what was originally an under braked vehicle. Well worth the effort to get the result. Stops better than my 05 4 Runner and my SC 400 under non abs conditions.

My 1989 Gen1 (Japan Import) has disk brakes all-round (on 4.875 axles).

I have subsequently changed to front to Gen2 twin-pot callipers, which is a straight bolt-on process except for
* trimming the dust shield.
* bending the brake pipe a touch.


Don't ascribe to malice anything that can be adequately explained as stupidity!
