    Hi Guys
    I'm going to do the conversion and it's saying to use the 13WL but I noticed it has different part numbers for the 13WL with the Callahan Brand, I believe the years are 2000-2006 tundra. Any help on this matter would be great. If I can not get Callahan I will get the Toyota brand which I have a part number of 43512-OC011.
    Thank guys

    This page has a great step-by-step guide (with pics) on the upgrade, as well as links to all the parts needed (at varying price points). There's a link there to several different caliper options, including Callahan's that will work just fine.

    https://adventuretaco.com/guide/step-by-step-tundra-brake-upgrade-on-a-tacoma-or-4runner/

    OEM is best for the pads, but for the calipers you shouldn't pay the premium (and it sounds like you're not). Get them from your local parts store (ideally) or Amazon, which will give a lifetime warranty in case you ever need to replace them.

    And don't forget the upgraded lines, they make a big difference with the larger calipers.

    The Adventuretaco link really helped me out when I did my conversion. I wish I would have spent the extra money and purchased rust proof calipers. I ended up purchasing another set from rockauto that are powder coated and wont rust up after the first car wash.

    100% Agree with @turbodb and @AW11 ! I used that AdventureTaco brake upgrade site myself to add the Tundra brakes to my 2003. Very clear and detailed instructions.

    The Tacoma to Tundra hard brake line kit adventure taco sells worked out perfect.

    the gen 2 tundra is 5x120 not 5x114.3 like the taco so the rotors would not work.

    I have done an IS350 F sport conversion on my 1G taco tho! it does require custom caliper mounting brackets.
