    Rides pretty stiff in the rear but its nowhere close to breaking in, like 200 miles tops on the rear right now, so im sure its going to loosen up. Overall the truck handles good on road and even better off road

    This truck isn't getting the attention it deserves. Very clean and simple, I love that bed cage.

    How did those rear discs end up for you and did you mod anything to compensate the brake system for them?

    They turned out good, never ended up using the smaller parking brake caliper. All i ran was a wilwood proportioning valve up at the master cylinder to adjust my brake bias.

    I'm curious because I have a t100 axle and am doing the tundra front brake conversion. I want to put my oem rotors and calipers on the rear t100 axle. Pretty sure all I would need would be brackets. What do you think?

    I dont see why not as long as they are the same bolt pattern and most likely you are going to have to make brackets to get the calipers to work

    Yeah, same bolt pattern. I might try it. I'm not sure yet but seriously considering it. Otherwise I buy new drums and pads for the t100 axle. Figured I'd do the disc swap and just buy brackets that convert a regular tacoma to disc in the rear. Some guys say not to run rear discs because of the extra fluid and pressure. That you'd have to get a bigger booster. So I saw yours and was curious. Yeah, I already have the wilwood prop. valve.

    Ya the proportioning valve helps, but people are right about having to get a bigger brake booster, I still have the stock on and its a little sketchy but besides that they work great.
