Great video Kelly! Just ordered the parts to do the upgrade and just want to mention for others to order calipers for the 2001 Tundra which are the 13WE 199mm and 2005 tundra are the 13WL 231mm. Disappointed that they arrived without the bleed valves and other port plugs which prevent dirt and other debris getting in during shipping. Cost for the calipers was 179 cdn (each), 135 for each rotor and 110 for the pads. My Hilux Surf is nearly complete foe the journey south to Mexico, Guatemala and Belize. Thanks again for your videos and ideas👍🍻

Dang, hitting up the fancy spots! I hope to visit Belize, Costa Rica and those areas one day. Dream trip is Peru! But that will obviously be a flight 😅

Another great video! This looks like something I could totally do now (my brakes aren't quite there yet, but I sure could have used this upgrade coming down a major hill at a ski resort last winter). Great step by step detail (and I appreciate you speeding up some of the parts while still showing enough to see the necessary steps). Thank you!

Solid as always. Thanks

I did this to my 2002. I went with 231mm from a 2005 Tundra 4x4 V8. Both my stock wheels and a set of TDR 16s off a 2021 Tacoma fit without any issues. I think the peace of mind on mountain roads is worth it.

I look forward to seeing your work, you should be proud of.

Wonderful video. I'm wondering if you could update video description to list the Napa part #'s you used. Looks like ADC 1720XB for the calipers.

Great How-To!! My 3rd gen 4Runner is an Overland build with RTT, steel bumpers and winch, so I did this upgrade and went with the larger 13WL calipers and rotors. I'm running 16 inch Pro Comp 69 Series wheels and they fit fine. I also upgraded the rear brakes with Tundra rear brake cylinders. The Tundra rear cylinders are a full 1 inch vs 15/16.

Hi, Does anyone know if U need to remove the running board for 1997 3rd gen 4runner limited in order for the side fender to come off. I believe I have removed all the screws already but it not coming off. 3 top screw Underhood, 1 in door, 2 beneath door, 1 in wheel well and the 4 screws that holds the plastic, 1 under the light. Not sure if I'm missing anything. Please help.

Has anybody used the 231mm calipers on the oem 16in Tacoma (2002) ??

Please help. I want to get these Napa parts for the 199mm but I don’t know the part numbers, I can’t find them, even the store can’t figure it out.

Hello gen 3 people, I have a 98' 4runner SR5, V6 2 W.D. with stock 15" rims, will the 199mm caliper fit all stock 15' rims ? I wish I could afford 17' rims and go for the 231mm big boys, but anything is better than 98' OEM brakes. Also I adjusted the rear drums and they offer only Flintstone stopping power without Fred's calloused feet.

For 2005 toyota tundra it only gives me options for 13WL 231mm. Could it be a 2001 tundra for the S13WE 199mm ?

Im not sure if you could would know but if you see this i could use your help. So if we moved up the larger 13WL brake upgrade would we have to change the master cylinder since the pressure to the front discs would be increased to factor the larger rotors?

Where did you get your brake lines from?

i bought the 13we calipers and rotors. i need brake hoses too. have about 3.5 inch lift. can you tell me which lines to buy?

Hey. Enjoy your videos. Did you have any rubbing issues with the rotor hitting the dust shield or with any area near that?

Does Power Stop brake kit Z36 or Z23 work for this upgrade ??

Thank you for the great information! I did the 13we-199mm Toyota Tundra brake upgrade on my 2002 4runner this weekend and everything went well (thanks to this video). However, after bleeding the system, I noticed the electric motor that pressurizes the brake system consistently activates after 5 presses of the brakes. I don't remember the system needing to be pressurized this often. Have you or anyone else experienced this?

Could this be done in a 1997 land cruiser?

Hi. Have you done any 4th Gen 4runner rotor and caliper upgrades?

I want to upgrade my brakes exactly like yours. I read your link description and it says get the 2005 Toyota Tundra 4x4 v8..can you tell me what exactly to get just so I don’t get mixed up. Will this set up help improve your stopping distance when you are running on 33’s. I have a 1998 Toyota 4Runner limited lifted with 33’s and do you recommend the brand call Power Stop on Amazon. That’s what I’m thinking about getting it. Any info would help me.. I want to upgrade ASAP...thanks

Will those brake lines you used work with the 231 mm calipers?

@Beacon_Offroad

I can't say forsure as I've never used them specifically, but I can't see any reason why they would be different.

Will the larger caliper option provide noticeable improvement over the smaller? Is there any reason I couldn't use the stock caliper with the new thicker rotor?

@Beacon_Offroad

Жыл бұрын

Too thick, wont fit. I wouldn't say it provides a big stopping difference but definitely when hot and consecutively braking it will provide more heat resistance. That in itself will provide better braking.

What year tundra?

ive got a 2000 4runner sr5 w the stock 15 inch rims. the stock calipers fit just fine, and i know the 199 tundra calipers are just a little bit thicker,but can anyone confirm if they will fit?

So far no concerns or issues. This past weekend I did a significant decent down some steep trails for quite a long time and absolutely no fade. I'm not really sure if I would have seen much improvement with the larger rotor. The extra thickness seemed to provide enough heat sink .
