    Has anyone done a caliper swap from a completely different vehicle? F250, Porsche, etc.

    Yeah. I've seen some crazy swaps like putting Porsche calipers on a leaf. Obviously not a direct fit.

    Remains to be seen I bought the tires and wheels the rest came along
    Quite possible when building a Street Rod.

    Why would you do it to a current production vehicle that one can buy parts.

    Anything would work work the right brackets. Figuring out piston size and appropriate bias/booster etc would be the tricky part. Even current setups on Lexus/4Runner etc have diff piston sizes than the similar Tacoma.
