‘04 Pre-Runner Brake upgrade!!

So, everyone know the Tacoma brakes are so amazing but I decided to make them better.
https://adventuretaco.com/ this guy has a pretty good write up. I did all the work on a Sunday and in about 2 hours. My biggest hurdle was the flair but I got it off and was able to reuse it.

I got the calipers from Amazon.

I just got brake pads from O’reiley for about $50
So for about $375 I got all the things I needed to upgrade my front brakes.

 

I really didn’t need to trim. The dust shield barely touches the caliper. In adventuretaco write up it shows him using an angle grinder which works but I used tin snips. They sliced right through it. Really didn’t need to be cut in my opinion but I did one one side

 

I did a side by side of the parts. You can see the calipers are a bit beefier and the rotors cover the entire dust shield.
