    Just traded my 06 in for a new '14 4 door, trd sport Tacoma and noticed that Toyota still puts rear drum brakes on their trucks. Anybody know of a conversion kit to put discs on rear of my Taco?

    keep them as drums. the taco has one of the best stopping distances in class. disc brakes in the back will make it too grabby.

    Drums work great on these trucks. A lot of surface area, ebrake works better.

    I like disc brakes on the front and on cars but drums are good for the back of trucks (the reason semi trailers have drum brakes - more surface area).
