Bolt-On Tundra Brake Upgrade for 96-02 4Runners

[tour4fun]

Does anyone know how the new Tundra calipers bolt on? I have larger wheels on my 1999 so I'm not worried about how large the caliper is. Anyone have a diagram of these calipers?

i very much doubt they would work. if you want the larger calipers, buy the 231mm models and trim the dust shield. i dont think it would be worth the extra time to engineer a solution to use the new tundra calipers.

That sounds like a major headache because they are significantly larger than the previous version and would require custom brackets to make work. I'd just bolt on the 231mm calipers as others have suggested.

Are these that different to the current 2 bolt bracket?

I currently have 355mm Stoptechs on, so I'm not worried about the size of the rotor. My concern is the bracket.

Unless perhaps you wanted the truck to indo and flip end over end, in that case I'm sure I could fab something up.

if your looking for more braking power than the tundra upgrade will offer you should do rear disk conversion and the tundra upgrade together.

Okay I got a situation folks.
Now that I get discounts I will be picking up a rebuild kit for my calipers.
However before I do so I need to tackle this little issue:




The Dumb (*&^ that sold me the calipers forgot to mention that one little thing wrong with them (probably why he took them off his truck to begin with.

So how would you all go about getting a broken bleeder out of a caliper?

go pick up a set of screw outs. be prepared to retap the caliper.

If he comes to my house sometime next week im gonna try and do it as nicely as possible but we may have to retap.

Im thinking ill drill a small pilot, try any number of extractors I have and well should worst come to worst we have no choice but to drill and retap. So long as i preserve the threads as much as possible we should be ok.

I did this mod on my 4runner yesterday...absolutely fantastic braking power now and best of all, no more warping

Thanks to everyone for the advice (especially MTL_4runner).

I bought (remanufactured) S13WE calipers, rotors and promax pads for a 2001 Tundra and the total bill after core return was $360.00 including tax in Mississauga, Ontario.
