Congratulations! 
As a side note, there used to be an old saying "ass is grass"....it never made much sense to me until now!

Congratulations!

That looks like a really interesting set up.  I wonder what it took to go from off the shelf FJ to sidecar FJ.  Looks like two calipers on a single rotor and a shock up front.  Maybe a long axle with the nut at the left (rider's left) side?  Does the sidecar have brakes also?  The more I look the more questions I have.

Hello! Thanks Robert!!!

I'm the driver and builder.

I use an integral brake, on the foot, only one caliper is used. The other is for the emergency brake.

here are some more pictures
