Hey Guys

Here is the writeup of my DBA rotor install on my 100 series, figured it would be a good thing to post online for others trying to do the same, very easy mod/maintenence!

DBA Rotor Upgrade Details

Thanks

Thanks Kevin. I dont have a 100 series yet to fix the brakes. But the pics make good visual resource when I do my front 80 series wheel bearings. :bowdown:

But i thought you're going solid axle? Why waste the denero on a brake upgrade on the IFS? Sweet set of rotors by the way.

Kevin doesn't know it yet but when he goes SFA, I'll be buying his brake setup from him for my 100 (unless these brakes work with the factory solid axle as well).

Correct. However, the brakes on this thing were so bad it was almost not even driveable! I need something, so i figured i would install an upgrade that i have had good luck with in the past!

Because i will be driving it with IFS for about 10-12 more months and wanna stop!

Sweet set of rotors by the way.

Thanks. 3rd rig i have had them on, very nice upgrade!

Did I miss something? You're doing a sas?

You're doing a sas?

SAS is a Solid AXLE Swap

No, i am NOT doing a Solid AXLE Swap

Something a little different, details later! :sombrero:

Geez....like your brakes weren't good enough to begin with! Try using four wheel drums!

-H- :bowdown:

No, these things were some of the worst i have ever seen when i got the truck, TOTAL metal to metal with VERY deep grooves on all 4 rotors!

Try using four wheel drums!

Been there, done that!
