    I am pretty sure you can get a rebuild kit for the master pretty easily. Pretty sure the booster is discontinued, so reman or aftermarket.

    I'm giving a remanufactured booster and master a shot. I've got nowhere near enough time to junkyard pull with work and it's just sooooo easy to get stuff Shipped to me. I used the cheapest stuff on my old 87 pickup on the brakes front to back and it is holding up just fine so it's crazy to me that people have had bad experiences with the tacomas aftermarket brake components

    If you do go that route- keep your OEM master. Should the reman fail, you can rebuild the OEM one yourself in the future.
