Hello All,

That's a cool mod...We need to start a "bible" (pardon the expression) for cool mods like that!!!
Mine is a 90 model anybody know if I got to change brackets??

Later Tom K.

P.S. I know this site is like a "bible"!!!

probably
the 89-90 are in a separate build of parts and EFI

The 4door has bigger drums too.

Are the 4dr rotors larger diameter?  Has anyone done the swap to 4dr brakes on a 96?  Are there any interferences or changes that I will need to make other than possibly the mounting bracket for the calipers, or is this a straight swap?

Anybody,

Has the swap been done on a 90 model,I need to get frt brake pads and rotors anyway.This would be a great time to do this mod...Do I need to change any thing other than getting the loaded calipers and rotors?

Thanks Tom K.

Called GM today.  I found out the 2dr and 4dr 96 Tracker use the same knuckle assembly.  This includes the caliper mounting bracket.  You might be able to find out if there are any differences for the 90.

I put the 4 door calipers and mounts onto
my 89 2 door, rotors are the same diam. but
the rotors are vented and the calipers have
a larger piston, I also grabbed the brackets
that bolt to the knuckle, and they were needed
for my 89.  It was a bolt on mod tho.

Would the loader calipers have this needed bracket?

No, I don't think so.

As far as I know, a "loaded" caliper
has the pads in it, or with it, but not
the brackets, those don't normaly get
taken off of the car or in this case trucklet

Don't forget to use 2 wheel drives as parts vehicles (at least for front end and rear end parts).  I just took parts from a 4 door on one side of the yard and put them on a two door until I had them mounted.  Now to do a search for shocks and struts to replace my tired Calmini 2" lift parts...

Just finished up with the 4dr front brake upgrade on my 96 track. I ended up buying the loaded calipers and rotors.  It was an even swap, didn't even have to trim the back plate on the 96. Easy install, but a couple of things I ran into if anyone is thinking about doing this.  I needed a breaker bar to loosen up the 17mm bolts for the caliper bracket.  I had a hell of a time getting them out.  I needed to replace the 17mm bolts with new ones, the size is M12x1.25 30mm long, don't forget the lock washers.  I needed a "BFH" to free up the rotors... After I found the hardware and got everything off it went smooth.

can you feel the difference? i can

This is an interesting topic.  I got a 2 wheel drive 4 door for parts.  I just got done taking the calipers and rotors off.  I will go back and take the mounts just in case I need them.  I'm glad I read this before I got rid of my parts rig.
