I can attest to this upgrade. Before, it seemed I was replacing rotors all the time and I'm a conservative driver. Then in 2017 I did this, and when I last looked at the rotors a month or so ago, and they still look new with no visible wear - 7 yrs later in 2024. Best upgrade I ever did!

Does the pedal feel mushy because it's still on OE master cylinder? Have you tried panic stopping on it yet to see if it flows enough fluid to brake well?

@azorianification

Жыл бұрын

It feels the same to be honest. I still need to flush and refill the brake fluid. I would imagine that will make a noticeable difference since I’m overdue. I can lock up the wheels if needed

Great job, very informative. Do you tow with your tacoma? I have 01 taco and tow quite often up to 3500 lbs. What difference did you notice with the braking when towing?

@azorianification

Thanks. I don’t tow but there is a noticeable difference now when I have a lot of weight in the bed. I went with the Oem pads but you might be even more performance with an aftermarket tundra pad as well

My first gen has stock 15in wheels will do you think these brakes would clear or would I have to upgrade to 16s or 17s?

@azorianification

2 жыл бұрын

I don’t believe you can do this swap with 15s. I’d suggest an upgrade to 16in. They will even clear the stock wheels to give you an idea of what you could upgrade to. Sticking with the stock OEM brakes just isn’t worth it when you compare the prices between stock vs tundra.🍻

I just did the 13WL brake up grade on my 2002 4runner 2wd with stainless steel lines. Yea the pedal is a bit soft after the break in procedure. Did bleeding the whole system bring your pedal back any better?

Are the new hard/soft lines required for the tundra calipers? Or can the stock ones work?

@azorianification

Since you’ll be removing them, this would be a good time to upgrade to Stainless steel lines. As for the hardlines, I’m not sure if you can reuse the old ones or bend them to work. Replaces are cheap enough. I wouldn’t want to reuse old brake parts if you’re going to replace everything.
