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:
