    I'm preping to do a front brake swap from a 4Runner/Lexus GX460. I think I've got all the parts figured out, except for the bolts to use that attach the caliper to the spindle.
    The Tacoma uses a 12mm bolt, and the 4Runner/Lexus use a 14mm bolt.
    For anyone that's done this, what did you use, the Tacoma bolt, the Tacoma bolt with some kind of sleeve, or some type of stove bolt???
    Thanks for reading...

    It's been a couple years since I swapped mine, so I can't remember for sure, unfortunately.
    But I want to say that there was maybe 1-2 years of 4Runner calipers that actually used 12mm instead.....? Something like that, because I don't believe I needed new bolts.

    Actually yeah, I think I found where that was discussed - https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads...-2nd-gen-tacomas.504234/page-20#post-24494921
    You might have to read through some posts before/after that to get the full story, but I think I managed to get ones that used the same size bolt as stock.
