    I recently designed and manufactured some billet 6061 aluminum caliper adapters for my X-Runner that uses Tundra calipers and Lexus ISF front rotors. The brackets are fully machined and hard anodized.

    nice!

    do you know if that will all hook up with a third gen? i am looking into brake solutions soon and this looks good. how's the performance compared to stock? I'm looking to increase braking significantly.

    What can I say, other than it looks fantastic! Also love your caliper color choice!

    Are you selling these on XRU?

    I do not think the will work on the 6 lug trucks, but I can design a system for the 6 lug trucks if there is enough interest.

    They will not work with the third gen. I can design something if you would be interested.

    Thanks @EdgemanVA! I am selling them on my website www.strictly-street.com

    first thing I'm interested in is your review and impressions of the new brake kit, and if you have links handy to the Toyota parts involved to assess the total cost..

    my next round of brake work is probably 9-12 months away minimum. but this looks like it could be great on the 3g's possibly. :thumbsup:

    Will those allow the Tundra caliper & ISF rotor to be used under the stock 18" X-Runner wheel?

    I have a 3rd gen as well. Adding a larger tundra caliper and a larger rotor would probably interest a few people. Especially those running larger and heavier tires and also everyone running heavy bumpers/armor. It would be cool to be able to use OEM Toyota parts as well. Very cool product you have designed!

    Thanks @El Taco Blanco !

    After doing some quick research I found that the 3rg gen and 2nd gen share the same steering knuckle and caliper. So the bracket would mount up but the rotors for the lexus ISF are 5x114. I would either have to make a new bracket utilizing a different rotor or I could redrill the ISF rotors to 6x139.7.
