Upgrade 3rd Gen 4-Runner Front Brakes
I finally upgraded my 2000 4-Runner's front brakes with those from a 2001 Tundra. They are a serious upgrade and bolt right on. They work great and really stop it, very smooth and powerful.
I found that the original steel spare wheel rubs the 199-mm calipers slightly. I bought a new aluminum wheel to match the ones on the truck and are using that as a spare. The choice in brakes from the Tundra boils down to whether you want a bolt-on swap, or an almost-bolt-on swap. The 199-mm set bolts on with no mods and this is the set I installed. The 231-mm set gives better stopping, but at the price of having to mod your wheels if you have standard 6-spoke 4-Runner wheels like mine. Here are the parts I bought as shown in Amazon.com: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (X2) I know that they show a 5-lug rotor in the picture, but the numbers are correct for the Tundra. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...?ie=UTF8&psc=1 See these articles on the subject: http://www.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/p...oject1620.html https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/t...ss-red-133294/ https://www.yotatech.com/forums/f2/0...runner-146160/ http://www.off-road.com/trucks-4x4/p...oject1620.html http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-ge...a-upgrade.html
