    2012 Tacoma Prerunner
    4" spindle lift, Bilstein 5100 front 1" lift, Bilstein 5150 rears with 2" springs and 2" blocks MK-6 wheels 17x9.5 w/ Toyo 285/75-17 AT, front bumper lower grill modified to fit Jeep prerunner bumper w/ inner aluminum replaced with 2x4 steel tubing. GX470 rotor and caliper mod coming soon
    I'm not a big fan of the inner drum parking brake on the 4-runner rears so I think I've come up with a decent kit but will need to fab up some parts. The kits they sell out there are pretty expensive so I'll be doing it myself. I make and sell kits for Harleys and used to make some for VW's in the past.
    I'll still be using the stock rotors but I just found a Ford Explorer caliper which will work. For the fabbed parts, I will make a parking cable adapter and caliper hanger hopefully to be installed without having to take the axle shafts out. 2017 ford explorer rear calipers.jpg
