Content Summary : Rear Brake Upgrade Package78/79 Series Toyota Landcruiser I ntroduction Toyota Landcruiser 78/79 Series Vehicles are used extensively throughout the country, and in particular, are favoured by mining operators, many in underground use where conditions are extreme. Whilst the basic vehicle is well respected by the industry, the rear disc brake arrangement has proven to be inadequate for the conditions, with the rear brake pads and hand brake both exhibiting accelerated wear way beyond the rest of the vehicle. In worst conditions, the rear brake linings will wear to the metal backing plates in a matter of weeks, resulting in total loss of rear brakes with accompanying work safety concerns. Handbrakes often fail to hold with days.
