Outstanding video, I really appreciate how clear and concise your instructions were, and how you spoke slowly enough. Some people don’t realize that it’s much easier to absorb instructions when they are spoken clearly and slowly, especially if it’s something that you haven’t done before! 😂 Great camera work too, everything was very easily seen. Hopefully I’ll be able to save up enough for this conversion, thank you! 🙏💪🙌

Certainly does not appear that you have neglected her. One of the best looking 4RUNNERS I’ve seen! I know, the work is never done

Beautiful truck! 3rd and 5th gen are said to be the best generations. I love the 3rd gen. I have 99 4WD limited w/ E locker. Bought the truck with the Caliper upgrade. It’s squeaking and a little spongy, not sure if that’s normal. Going to rebuild the calipers, or I may just have my mechanic do it. Yours is super clean. Ok thanks for the vid

The M Clips that return the brake pads away from rotor after brake release. Your suppose to have 2 m Clips for each caliper

With the tundra brake upgrade do the 16 inch wheels still fit or do you have to go to 17 inch wheels ?

Hi Ed, thanks for the video. Are the Rotors a set of 2? The Amazon link does not say if its a pair or single rotor.

why are you torquing the calipers down when you dot have pads or brake lines connected? You're doing the work twice

@sterlinghutton7178 Жыл бұрын

Are those rotors thicker or is it the 307mm vs 277mm ?

Beautiful 4Runner! What roof rack is that? Is it mounted on something other than the factory rack?

@theoverlanded Жыл бұрын

It’s from a company called WMI that went out of business awhile ago. It mounts to the factory rack mounts. Thanks for watching!

Will this same work for 2014 camry Se sports? It has 18inch wheels-225/45/18. I saw some videos which can fit highlander brakes to camry but highland calipers are dual piston and tundra was 4 piston

What year/make/model did you use for the steel brake tubes from the caliper to the brake hose/line bracket ? I’m doing the tundra brake upgrade on my 1999 Runner using the 13WL caliper and my stock brake tubes from the caliper are too long and extend beyond the hose caliper on the knuckle neck by abut 1/2” or less, even with slight bending/manipulation I can’t line up the flange on the tube to the hose…. Thx !!

@theoverlanded Жыл бұрын

Huh. I went with the OEM hard lines from Toyota for my 98 and the worked just fine. The only reason I replaced them was because the twisted on me when I took them off the old calipers.

@@theoverlanded ok kool, yeah, I’m not sure why my originals didn’t work with the new calipers…. Still workin on it though!! Thanks for the reply! Nice rig too btw!!
