Hydroboost is fantastic! no doubt there. Why choose that over conventional?
(I ask because mine already has factory power brakes...)

You may not know this, but we do all of the systems for TLC / ICON on their Early Bronco and FJ builds. Icon is even upgrading older previously shipped EB and FJ builds to hydroboost now. When Steve mentioned he was potentially interested in discussing hydroboost for his build, we sent him these images:
Wicked Custom 4 Door build (225k!)
Being a previous customer on his Camaro build, Steve saw these images, and I could tell he could barely contain himself. After bouncing some images and dimensions around, all of a sudden this new OE FJ system exists (interesting that the ICON builds are different due to their own custom firewalls).
We spoke with another gentleman about this system the other day that ran over a deer blazing down a trail because he couldn't stop properly (what a mess that made - yuck). He is now gathering his funds together to perform this upgrade on his FJ.
Steve, what are you going to do to provide vacuum to the brake booster on your diesel build? I've got a feeling that we may be building you another system for that one. Especially with all of that diesel torque in low lock climbing around your favorite trails with lesser brakes at the wheels...
The problem we have now is that we have to get with some FJ guru's to figure out what the year / model break points are for this new system we built for Steve. Of course we know it will fit a '73 FJ40 (and can do some basic part number investigation), but we now have customers inquiring about these systems and it's initially tough to say what will fit and what will not. Anybody got any feedback on this for me please? I have to admit I need a schooling on FJ's. I never thought we would be building systems for imports! I've interestingly never even sat in one before by some strange fluke.
