I have a 1991 GQ Patrol LWB, it basically has no brakes left. I've been quoted $5000 to fix them including a swivel hub rebuild. I ran into a comment PeeBee posted about the willwood brakes and all of the different options hes tried. Right now I'm seriously considering going with exactly everything he said except for GU Booster/master cylinder then I saw saw his comment about still not being happy and swapping to a marks4wd hydraulic booster kit but then I'd have to change tyres as well, I have Allied Thunder Black Chrome 16 x8" alloy wheels Near new 285/75R16 Nitto Trail Grappler mud tyres
Ideally I would pay the $5000 and get the brakes done but I don't want to dump 5k into them and still have old GQ brakes that don't stop the 4x4 well at all even when they are 100%. I was looking into GU diffs but I have an ARB air locker and an Harrop e locker that wouldn't work with GU Diffs as the ratio is different.
So now I'm tossing up between, the willwood front and rear + proportioning valve + willwood master cylinder, braided lines, marks 4wd hydraulic booster. But then I need new tyres as well and would need to be engineered so very costly but absolute best of the best and I ever went to GU diffs they would work with them.
the EFI twin pot calipers in the front
or the Delios Twin Piston Caliper Brake Upgrade Kit - Nissan Patrol GQ from marks4wd and either the hydraulic booster from marks4wd or GU booster / master cylinder.
I'm new to this forum so sorry if i'm using the wrong icon.
