I kinda thought that might sound like I was being a jerk, that really wasn't my intention.Originally Posted by bamachem
I honestly didn't/don't know that the parts are the same for the various models of Tundra (2wd/4wd, v6/v8, etc..)
I was HOPING this was the case. I'm actually am pretty tech savvy, but when it comes to items I'm not informed upon, I like to do my homework.
It would suck to get the toys back home and realize that there's no difference than stock because I bought the 2WD vs the 4WD rotors and tried to put in the wrong size pads.
Please take my regrets for sounding like I meant YOU didn't provide proper info, I was just requiring more information than I needed.
Your work on this is very appreciated, I can assure you of that.
ok, thanks for the explanation and sorry for taking it the wrong way!

thanks 4runamok, I'm glad I didn't ask your question first. no, seriously, thanks bamachem for clearing that up, I tend to be pretty particular and love to have all the details but I guess that in this case, it's just that easy. great writeup!
I think that's exactly what this is, a case of "It just can't be that easy!" And it really is.
The only thing I'm left confused about is the wheel the did the scraping. Was this the 3-paired six spoke, or the 5 spoke star pattern?
it was a set of LX450 wheels.

I finally got time to get all the parts to do the Tundra Caliper install this weekend.
I'll try and take some before and after pics on mine too.
Did anyone ever try the spare tire to make sure it didn't contact the calipers?

So a simple recap.. Tundra Rotors, 199mm calipers and new pads is a simple bolt on and drive away procedue for our 4runners?
Yeehaw. Mine have bad shudder and I'd rather save up a bit more to do this myself.
Depending on what rims you're using you may have some grinding to do on the caliper, but it's not going to be much. Other than that, nope, it's a bolt on procedure for 3rd gen 4runners (using the Tundra Rotors, 199mm calipers and pads.....the 231mm calipers are a bit more work to get fitted).Originally Posted by firebane
You can see where Bamachem had to grind a bit in this pic:
