01 4 door 1 ton SAS

Mas

69.5" up front 67.5" rear, 3.5" backspace wheels

 

go back to bed Brian

 

I can't! Being up before 6 is pretty normal for me even on weekends hah

 

Same. 5am. Clockwork

 

Yours has a 4 post booster to where my 03 has a 2 post. Also that looks just like the willwood MC i just got from summit which is a “Chrysler type” with 1.063 bore. Still may do hydro boost after I talk to Howe tomorrow

 

Do you have a link to where /how you did the quick release steering wheel install?

 

Looks like nardi brand

 

Ever get to test out your brake master setup?
I’m a couple weeks away from deciding which one works best. I’ve been waiting silently for you guys to cough up the secrete recipe.

 

Yeah I installed an earlier model year Tacoma dual diaphragm booster and a Sky adapter. I may have been able to use my stock 2 bolt booster with the Dodge van master, who knows. Also I bet I paid a whole lot less for my master than you did lol

 

It was an NRG hub for a 98 Tacoma with the NRG disconnect and a Nardi wheel. I ended up taking the disconnect out so I could actually reach my turn signals and wipers without taking my hand off the wheel. Works great.

 

1.063" bore works great with my 3/4 ton and 1/2 ton old Chevy brake calipers. Going to depend a lot on what calipers you run honestly. If your calipers have bigger or smaller pistons (bigger or smaller surface area that fluid is pushing on) a different master may work better for you. Its the ratio between master bore and caliper pistons that you're trying to perfect.

 

I gotcha. I’ll be using stock 05+ Superduty 3/4 ton factory rotors and calipers for now... so bigger the better of course on my booster/master setup.
That’s why I was curious. I’ll figure out caliper bore/size and see what I come up with.
Just wanna do it once, and right...

 

Figure out what bore size is on a 05+ Superduty and try that on your truck...

 

1-5/16” GM master with the factory Tacoma dual diaphragm booster is what I used on my 05+ super duty’s factory brakes and it is honestly the best brake setup I’ve ever had.

 

Did yours have the two bolt or four booster then?... mines two bolt stock.

 

Something you should know also for reference.... 2 bolt are single, 4 bolt are dual.

 

One would assume that, but I didn’t know that for a fact. Hence why I asked. But I do now, thank you.

 

Common practice for 4x4:
95.5-00 are 4 bolt (all I've seen are 4 bolt)
01-04 are 2 bolt (These year don't have a 4 bolt from factory)

If you’re looking for a dual 4 bolt, look for a 1t t100. They use a 4 bolt dual diaphragm booster with a 1.07” MC.

Picture:
Left is 02 taco
Right is 1T t100

 

Thanks for the info! I know it’s out there already somewhere. But I appreciate you laying it out there! That helps a lot.
While we are on this topic though, when using said 4 bolt booster and desired masters. Are you guys finding that the master push rods are working factory or need to be shortened/lengthened?
I’m sure I’ll figure that out in a few days also. Just looking for already learned knowledge.

 

4 bolt booster. I bought the sky manufacturing adapter and had to make my own plunger/pushrod extension and that was it. Oh, and a wildwood prop valve for the rear
