Did mine a while back,see post.
From 9.25" rotor to 12.19" drilled/slotted Wilwood; & used a 4 piston 4 Runner caliper,brackets from a guy on Toyota Minis ( think he still as a few sets), this set up works great.

those rotors mount to the hub right? like a ring shape? and do the stock caliper brackets from the 4wd work or new ones need to be made?

The bracket I got from a member of Toyota Minis site $70, believe he may still a have few sets!

The brackets were made to use the Toyota 4x4 / 4 Runner calipers,can get new from Napa auto stores or off e-bay. I used Goodyear braided front brake lines. You need a fitting,two, to go from male to female @ the caliper & a little clearance work @ the bracket & caliper to get the caliper to center over the rotor! No big deal!
I have dropped spindles & that may be the reason!
Also a must, to use longer wheel studs,so the same amount of threaded area is there!
Not so pricey for much better brakes,around $700 in all!
