Disc brakes. BRAKES. But I'll give you a break. :D Yes you can put disc brakes on your truck, you'll need an adapter plate, Beebani makes some, and I think someone else?

[datzenmike]

The '78-'79 620 and '80-'83 are similar but WILL NOT bolt to your 521. You will need custom made adapters by BEEBANI that will allow the later '84-'86 720 and '86 and up Hardbody rotors to fit I believe. These are better than the earlier non-vented ones. Check with BEEBANI on here.

 

AND PLEASE STOP SHOUTING!!!!

That is me, do a search here and on ebay, and you will find everything you need to know about the swap and how to buy my brackets.

Haha, that just reminded me of the "Buy my book, buy my book!" Was that Jay Sherman, or some other animated comedy? I can't remember, just remember the line.

thanks, could you feed me more info like you the passport rotors what years and do both 4x4 and 2wd work and what about the calipers? what do you think i should use for calipers? you are asking 150 for both? or are you selling everything all together? i mean like brackets, rotors and calipers all together? let me know, thanks. :D

[BEEBANI]

Dude, I'm not trying to be rude, but did you read the ebay post, or did you just look at the pictures? Because everything you just asked is covered in the description. I even put some of the info in bold so you couldn't miss it.

[Xbaja07X]

hey thanks, i just wanted to make sure that the 4x4 and 2wd passport dont make difference.

I have a set of beebanis disc brake brackets that ill sell for $75 shipped. Since i am clipping my truck i wont need them anymore. Beefy brackets, im sure they will work fine!

[datzenmike]

Perhaps a P/M would have been more discrete? :lol:

[Xbaja07X]

airedout how do you want to do the transaction? let me know thanks a lot.
