😂😂

Hey robert! We’re glad we could help! 🤟

Thanks bro! 💪

The more reason to replace them if you’re doing bigger rigs🤙

Didn’t the “Milky Way” series already finish, though?

@@fishtacoma it did

The OEM kit was a fresh new set

@@tacomabeast with rust and grime built up into it... no it wasn't.

@@Kojima93 ya idk why he was lying

Donut media did said test with their 350z's in their hi-low series. Check it out.

@@johnnymartinez478 those rotors if OEM are pretty fresh, mine showed rust on the hat and veins within 3 weeks of ownership. Honestly the slight increase you'll see between a 10K set and brand new set isn't going to change heatsoak enough in most tests to make a difference. It's why pads/new rotors alone isn't a great idea. That heat being dumped into the rotor has to be extracted or you'll just end up with fade still. So in humbolt's suggestion, depending on pad you will see anywhere from an increase or decrease in first stop performance as the pads get up to temperature, and then an increase in most likely the 2nd, 3rd and MAYBE if it's a hot temp pad 4th test. After that performance will fall off like a nose dive. Most OEM brake systems are not designed for continous braking, so you will need to decide if you will be doing enough to require it. Also their test on the aftermarket set is on point in expected results. Those pads are probably a high temp pad meant for performance driving where there is constant use. So it is expected for the pads to come alive after a few runs and hold performance as they get into range and the braking cooling cycle stabilizes them.

The ABS is there so the brakes CAN’T lock up the tires. That’s the vibration in the pedal from ABS pulsing the brake lines.

Coming soon!

I talked the company that builds the brakes for the factory toyota Dakar rally trucks (Power Brake) and they said that when they added rear disks the rear end would rotate, (like using the coaster brake on your old BMX bike as a kid) so they recommended against doing the swap. They actually went back to the rear drums.

I spoke to the same guy, he said they wouldn’t really benefit

Thats a really good point bro!

Yes! We noticed that the rear drums were a big issue mid shoot (as you saw from the vid 😂) , and now we’re working with Alcon to make a rear disk conversion kit 💪

@@tacomabeast My truck is five hundred pounds heavier than yours. 33’s, 4.88 gears and Magnusson SUpercharger. Don’t know if I would have done supercharger if I hadn’t done the brakes.

Yeah we found out the hard way that we needed to swap out the rear drums 😂

Don’t lie them 37” tires you gottah plan way ahead when you stopping 🤣

The OEM kit was a fresh new set, we wanted this to be as fair as possible.

I'm not lifted, but have 113k on mine and haven't had any issues yet. Looks like I'll get another 20-30k on them.

Thanks bro!

We’ll look into it!

Thanks bro!

We’re actually exclusively working with Alcon to make a drum conversion kit for the rear drums! 🤙

@@tacomabeast that's would awesome so far the only way is to use the helix rear disc system which is costly but easy to do

Thanks bro!

😂

Glad you liked it!

We’ll add it to the list for sure! In the mean time if you want some insight on performance feel free to contact our support team at support@tacomabeast.com and ask for Dustin, he’ll be happy to help you 🤙

Thanks bro 🤙

That’s a good point! Gotta make sure to watch for sand often 🤙

We did swap the OEM system for a new one before testing it we wanted to make it as fair as possible 🙌

@@tacomabeast oh wow that's pretty cool then you might have said it in the video maybe I missed it I'll have to check it out again if not you probably should have said that in the video. But hey we're only human we can think of everything LOL.

Yeah we probably missed that 😂😂

@@tacomabeast Then why were the rotors so old? We can see the video man, why not just be transparent?

😂😂😂

That’s a great idea tbh never thought about it

It’s CBI, you can find it on our website here: tacomabeast.com/products/2005-2021-toyota-tacoma-cbi-full-skid-plates?_pos=3&_sid=6b2ff25c9&_ss=r

That’s exactly what you just saw. The OEM kit was a fresh new set.

Must not have been paying attention to that part of the vid, sorry.

You would have to get the replacement pads from Alcon for this one 🤙

Estimated weight difference would be around 60 lbs give or take

Hahaha that was a good one!

That’s a good idea! We might have to test that out 💪

That’s the next experiment, in this video we where testing for the front only.

@@tacomabeast Check out this Toyota engineer attempting to answer the question "Why Does The 2020 Toyota Tacoma Still Have DRUM Brakes? We Ask The Chief Engineer To Find Out! - KZfaq" kzfaq.info/get/bejne/nqt8i6ymycnJp2Q.html

Who would interview us tho? 😂

That makes sense 🤙

Thanks Johnny! 💪

We have those on the other taco 🔥

Thanks for the tip!

We haven’t heard of doing this, and we’re not really sure if they’re compatible, which is why we worked with Alcon to develop this kit 🔥

@@tacomabeast Do you even forum bro?

😂

Comparatively I think it makes sense, it’s the same as buying a front and back bumper for your taco and it boosts the performance 🤷‍♂️

How much would it cost if you needed to stop 30 feet sooner to avoid running into something (or worse yet someone)? $3 grand then becomes worth every penny. Any money spent on better brakes is worth it.

It’s got a supercharger in it 🤙

Weight difference is around 40 lbs overall (counting both sides)

Yep! We replaced them before shooting the video🤙

Yup! We replaced them before the video 🤙

It depends, it definitely is a huge upgrade and will help you overlanding but there are other upgrades that would be more important like sliders or skid plates 🤙

We’re actually working with Alcon to make a rear disc conversion for the taco!

Why not both 🤷‍♂️

That’s a great question, we might have to put that to the test

@@tacomabeast that'd be awesome. The OEM 4runner parts would probably be quite a bit cheaper.

My own personal experience was Toyota will say anything to deny your warranty. If you’re willing to accept responsibility for the upgrades you want, do them and make it a MUCH more enjoyable truck.

Both sides 🙌

The brake kit should fit the 2015 but just in case feel free to contact our support team at support@tacomabeast.com and they’ll be happy to give you some data on that! 🤙

We installed a new oem kit before running the tests to make it a fair fight 🙌

@@tacomabeast shit did I miss that in the video 😂 guess that’s what I get for watching while doing an oil change

The front swap is on our website for $2300 we are working on a rear disk conversion kit for the rear drums

It’s coming soon 👀

It might make your customization a bit easier, and it does come with some perks like the CRAWL control but ultimately you can build an SR5 just as nice as you can build a TRD pro 🙌

Lower trim if you are doing a build otherwise your throwing away your money. If you want leather get a off-road to build from but if just want base build start with a SR v6 4x4. You have well over 10k to build a better truck. Honestly the best way to build a true Taco for the wild... Good luck

Thanks guys, super appreciative. Wife and I are nurses and have minimal vehicle modification experience haha but super interested and love the outdoors.

@@jamess303 just curious if you and your wife ever started the build?

We run Tacomabeast.com your one stop shop for everything Toyota Tacoma

We didn’t have to but we did and it fit both ways 🤙

Not currently, but we’re working on it

It depends on preference tbh most tacos will have really good engines regardless of usage so it’s all up to how you like each gen, some people prefer second gens and some prefer third gens

We’re working on updating it!

We Are working on that!

That’s exactly what we did. We swapped the OEM kit for a new one.

@@tacomabeast new OEM brakes?

@@tacomabeast I think you misunderstood. To get a fair comparison you need new OEM brakes vs. Alcon.

Yep we changed the OEM kit for a new set of OEM’s before running the test to make it a fair fight 🤙

Alcon might, however the kit we have with them is just for Tacomas

The kit was made for tacos so we haven’t tested it on 4runners but it might 🤷‍♂️

We’re working on rear disk conversion kit with Alcon 🤙

We’re working with Alcon for the rear disc conversion kit 🙌

Depends on the cost of those 30 feet on an unlucky day.

I agree at that price I just pick up the rear helix disc brake and save 30 feet for $600 the price is to high not worth it

Thanks bro!

We replaced the stock brakes before the test! 🤙

Nice - My apologies if I missed that detail.

35 🤙

It’s coming, stay tuned

Yep!

Sometimes the disk breaks slip, although I would get that checked out because its very rare and could also mean your break fluid line is leaking somewhere

@@tacomabeast thanks for the info

We replaced them with newer OEM brakes prior to testing 🤙

We worked with Alcon to develop this kit for tacos so you don’t have to use the tundra ones 😂, but i don’t see why that’s a bad idea though 😂
