For those of us peasants still running KP stuff. How about a brake thread?
I don't have calipers or brackets anyway, so maybe it's a good excuse to do something better?
There is the typical 3/4t conversion that I not even sure what the point it? Maybe works better with a typical jeep or Toyota Mc. My last rig was kp60 6 lug, so 1/2t brakes and still had a crazy soft pedal with the 1" FJ80 mc anyway.
There is also a few different varieties of "big brake kits" but they seem extremely over priced. Some are selling just brackets for $600+
This at least is a complete kit
These guys sell brackets to use 09+ dodge rotors and calipers. Seems sweet but $330 is still steep for brackets?
Or 00-09 burb brakes. Brackets are $200

Also, is this torq who still owes Doug, or a different torq?
One big advantage to me is the slip on rotors. Makes it so much easier to pull the axle apart since you can leave the spindle and wheel hub together.
What am I missing about these brackets being so expensive?
$600?
