I got these from someone here a couple years ago. I drove on them about one winter, after that I got a new commuter and since then my truck didn't see much love. I never went offroading with them but they were amazing in deep snow. Now the truck is gone so these must go as well. I do not know...

The driver side (L) caliper I received matches the spec (F14), however the R caliper has a F14B casting # which according to google is from a 93-98 Land Cruiser. The only visual difference are the two extra threaded holes you can see on the photo. Which are irrelevant to me if there are no other...
