I have a couple quick question for you bema...and actually everbody else who knows, as I am planning to do this mod in a bit.
1) How difficult is it to rebuild a caliper, and did you just use a generic or Toyota kit?
2) Are OEM calipers significantly better then lets say Raybestos ones?
Just trying to add some simplicity to my project.
TIA!
i didn't rebuild them. i bought them already rebuilt/refurbished. :D
:great: write-up
is the slight wear on the inside of the rim a result of new calipers???
Whats the word on this mod working on equal generation tacomas?
i wonder if the tundra calipers would clear the wheels i have now. with the stock 4runner ones, there is barely any clearance!
i have those generic d window wheels they sell at america's tire.
I have seen a few people do this on a Tacoma and it worked very well. Only trick is to drill out the end of the brake line bolt so it doesn't bottom out. Other than that the procedure is more or less identical to doing it on a 4runner.Quote:

Brake line also needs to be held in place while tightening:

Wow what a great mod. I'm definitely game for this. The stock Taco brakes are the best brakes I've ever seen on a stock truck and upgrading to the larger style would be insane. This is awesome.
Oh I built a completely different rear suspension for my truck and have been to lazy to build an emergency brake system. If you have the V6 you shouldn't have to worry about the truck rolling anywhere if left in gear. The 4cyl might creep on you though when parked. After my new engine work I'll put a disc on the trans output shaft. Thanks for the brake info.
:thumbup: I agree about it being an awesome mod. With the way people drive around here, any help I can get stopping faster, the better.
