What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

@Speedytech7 please link the cheaper ones so I can bookmark them and recommend them in the future. I bought expensive ones and am kicking myself about it.

See below...

The Power Stop 13WLs are on Amazon. If you want red and the bolt heads that hold the two halves together to not rust, get them. See my quote below about the rebate that brings them
Otherwise get the NAPA ones:

• NAPA Brake Caliper, Brake Caliper w/ Hardware - Right Front (Eclipse Semi-Loaded) - Remfd, PART # :CAL SE3264
• NAPA Brake Caliper, Brake Caliper w/ Hardware - Left Front (Eclipse Semi-Loaded) - Remfd, PART # :CAL SE3263

They end up being the same price, so choose by red or not.

Also, you can get cheaper than the PRIME option by choosing the

$267 Power Stop Front S2712 Pair of High-Temp Red Powder Coated Calipers

New (3) from $228.99 & FREE shipping link and buying from the cheaper option. You should still be able to use the rebate on that.

 

That's for the PAIR. Powerstop sells them as a pair. NAPA sells individually. NAPA will charge a core charge ($111 for me). Just put your old calipers in the box and drop them off to get you core charge back.

 

Well if you keep wanting to get the front wheels off the ground..you better or your gonna end up like Brett with a split cross member and God knows what else. You can just plate the stock perches. That's what I meant. They are basically C channel sort of so you can box them.

My power stops were not right from the get go. Bolt wouldn't go all the way in for the line.

The Napa ones are a better way to go. Why go for the cheapest thing when it comes to stopping my 2 ton truck

 

Used to only be $35 but I guess times have changed...

Get the NAPA remans. Function>form

 

Technically you're using them wrong, they come drilled by Toyota for a Hardline and you guys that do the tundy swap are using a banjo bolt which it was never designed to accommodate. But some of the reman people (Cardone, they rebuild for Napa) drill the holes deeper when they chase the thread.

 

Installed a Roto Pax as a test fit today. Still considering other options but this works well for now.

 

I have those StopTech steel brake lines, installed them about a year ago...no complaints here

 

Only thing I’d say about the Napa’s is inspect the caliber pistons. It’s not common but I’ve had some at work where some pistons were pretty pitted. But other than that I’ve installed a few dozen sets. Probably the best remans you can buy short of oem remans

 

Order the 13WL calipers at Napa Online and you can pick them up later that day or next day from your local Napa store.

Or 3 tons if you're @Digiratus

 

Damn near

 

If you get the Napa Eclipse reman calipers that I think everyone here is talking about, they come painted black already.

 

Just keep reminding them, say it out loud every so often.

 

I have a red truck so I thought it would look tacky if they were red, and went with black instead. Mo betta.

And youre not cool until you add a Brembo sticker on them.

 

You could make the overlanding hat a full time accessory.

Does he have his instagram handle anywhere on the truck? That usually screams coolness louder then fancy calipers.

 

Bonus points for willwood, or even more if you rep powerstop or stoptech. Better yet, paint them sun yellow like the jeep trackhawk then add the decal of your choice.

 

Baer for real panty dropping power
