    Nope, no need. It doesn't increase the capability that dramatically. Someone in one of the threads did math and it's less than a 10% increase or whatever but also depends which pad compound you use. Mine feel same as stock for daily driving, but if I need to do a hard/emergency stop my butt dyno says there is a noticeable difference. ABS still works fine for me.

    Did you do the rear axle also? Or just the front brakes?

    I would not switch to the 4Runner rear brakes If I had a Tacoma. Maybe they perform better at high speeds, but the parking brake on the 4Runners is absolute garbage compared to the parking brake on the Tacomas.

    Just the fronts. Would love to do the rears but it's not that high on my priority list yet. Too many other mods need to come first.

    Anyone know the going rate for a slightly used kidney?

    I think a kidney is worth like $10K. That's probably enough to get one of those fancy bed camper setups. ;)

    Since food had been a topic. Here is a nice out of the way pie shop.
    Sorry they don't deliver.
    I do recommend the Triple Chocolate Pecan Pie.
    They are located in Stockholm WI
    That's north of La Crosse on Hwy 35 that runs along the Mississippi River

    So. Many. Stickers.
    Pull the carpet up too and dry the mat underneath. And any kind of anti mold spray is your friend.

    Do tell..... Thread link? Also the OEM pads have a good friction coefficient. Damn near equal to EBC Greenstuff.
