Can you Change the Rear Drum Brakes to Disc Brakes and if so what is the average price range?

Sure. I like the Milwaukee vice grips because of the eyelet on the end you can put a screwdriver in to make them tighter if need be. The double jointed needle nose to tightly hold springs and cables and the little blue pliers are actually wire cutters that are perfect for brake springs

 

Ahem.

 

Thought it might be those. Channellock #748 is the model. I have a set but I use them for cutting, they are great for trimming cotter pins.

 

Why change a good thing???

 

Why oh why do you want to switch them? What do you expect to gain from the conversion? I’m also wondering what problems you may encounter with the electronics, the abs and brake controlled limited slip etc. when you switch. IMHO it is a time consuming and expensive change without any noticeable benefit. As others have said it’s your truck do what you wanna do. I think everyone is still curious why you want to do this.

 

I'm putting rear disk brakes on my Tacoma. Also anything is a race car if your brave enough.

 

I like drum brakes.

 

I don’t know.... op got really quick answers here

 

I do believe Turtles race too!!!

 

I suspect that the majority switching to rear disks is largely marketing. Suddenly your truck looks better when you can show the typical ignorant car shopper the rear disks and say "Look! Shiny! Safer!"

People who really know, know that in the rear of a truck it doesn't matter. Unless you have some super special application that you haven't shared you're wasting your time and money swapping to rear disks.

 

Proven several times a year in the 24 Hours of Lemons! I want to do those so bad but can't ever seem to get enough people both interested and committed.

 

Why ? Not have your coffee yet ? Your dog bite you ? Your wife suddenly realized (fill in blank) and left you ?

Hope your day gets better

 

A wife? How dumb do you think I am?

 

Way more trouble than it's worth

 

I would be more concerned about upgrading the front brakes before touching the rear drums. IMO, upgrading to rear discs is 70-80% looks, with very little improvement in braking distance.

 

I'm building one

 

I'd be willing to be a team driver with you.

 

I need a team to drive. Right now it's just me and one other guy. 1991 Toyota celica with a 5 speed

 

I am wanting to switch my Tacoma to a Tundra i was wondering if anyone has ever done this to there tacoma. If so how diffcult was it and has it effected the way the truck drives in any way?
