Possible big brake at local junk yard

I just got notification 2006 tundra at Santa fe, CA. May be able to get your big brake kit.

 

not familiar with how these places work, you gotta bring your own tools and stuff to take it apart right?

 

Yup, and pay an entrance fee. Of 2.50 dollars

 

It's the weekend lots folks go out there to strip cars to resell parts.

Good luck.

 

dang, don't really have the know how to strip the breaks and exactly what components im gonna need

 

it's really simple, your unbolting and the vehicle are lifted and wheels are taken off. Anddepended on anyone else there, they may let you borrow their tool, of course, you would need to be quick. Also, keep your eyes on your tools, it's been a couple of years since I been there to pick up parts for my civic, but if I remember correctly everything has it's set price.

 

thats true, i guess it doesn't need to look pretty

 

Yup, i would take a tool bag and a bucket. There are shopping carts around but you would need to repair them.

 

If it's the weekend, forget about it. It's probably just an empty shell by the time you get there. Few weeks ago I got a notification that a 4runner hit the yard. When I got the notification on my phone I was at work (30min away). I left work immediately and was at the yard in less than half an hr. To my surprise, there wasn't really anything left but the shell. The interior and drive-train was completely stripped. The only possible way that all the parts was removed so quickly was it had to have been stripped before it got put on the yard. Wasted my day and entrance fee. Guess you lose some, you win some.

 

I haven't seen a Tundra brake upgrade for a 2nd Gen....isn't that a 1st Gen thing? The master cylinder might be useful though.

I've seen T4R front/rear conversions on 2nd Gens though.
