Renovation Questions

Hi everyone, I've owned an '85 4Runner for over 20 years, it's been sitting for 10 years. I've just recently started renovations.
I'd like to replace brakes with 4 discs, can anyone direct me where to go and what to buy. Also want to put all new springs and shocks. I'll probably stay with 30 inch tires.
I would appreciate any input.
Thank you, Gary

 

Welcome to the forum. Very cool you keeping a Gen1 on the road. I can't help you with your question but I would recommend creating or moving this thread to the 1st Gen general or 1st Gen Build forums. There should be more of a focuse knowledge base in those sub forums.

Good luck and post us some pictures.

 

welcome

 

There are kits out there.
Try LC engineering for lots of 1st gen type of stuff. Also Marlin Crawler.
Here is a write up one of my wheeling buddies put together when he cobbled a disc set up together way back in the day.

In that write up he mentions Sky Engineering and I see that they are still in business so you may want to check them out too.

Good luck and looking forward to seeing the progress.
