What have you done to your Tacoma today? 1st Gen Edition

You got part numbers for the pads? I've found 2 different ones and not sure which is correct.

Also which calipers and brake lines did you go with?

 

Cool, are the brake line end fitting, that goes into the new caliper the same as the stock taco caliper. Just asking because I already got stainless lines made for it now

Think it's a banjo fitting

 

They are 13wl calipers, napa remans. Brake lines are wheelers extended, had to use a couple copper washers to get the banjo bolt to seal correctly but no issues since.
P/N for the pads is

$102 DP61657 Greenstuff Brake Pads for 2005 and up Toyota Tacoma 4WD 2.7 - Front

DP61657 - 6000 series

 

Yeah they are taco lines with a banjo fitting, I know the wheelers ones will work but you'll have to check your specific fitting.

 

They should fit. If the tundra rotors takes a banjo fitting as well as the Tacoma the end fitment should be the same.. in theory

 

Awesome! That's what I was planning on doing!

 

Glad to know i wasn't the only one.

 

Yeah I think I went way past the torque spec on those lol. No problems though.

 

Maybe someday in the future you'll might see one than they start to multiply. That's what happened to me 4 years ago.

 

mine bolted straight into the tundra calipers with no modifications to line or bolt- I did use new crush washers- but I just reused my factory lines as they where toyota OEM and brand new when I had the frame replaced not long before and I was not planning to lift it.
one of my favorite mods to date; huge improvement in stopping power over stock!

 

Sounds good, braking feeling a little on then not so touchy side lately. Hoping I don't have a small leak somewhere

Or mc going out

 

found a nice sunset view and then went to NYC last night

 

I'm changing out my hawk pads for oem. The hawk pads always made my tires and wheels red from the dust. Real annoying.

 

Can confirm. My wheels look like they've been powder coated in a nice rust color.

 

What type of transmission fluid should I refill with?

 

Automatic Transmission Fluid or Manual Transmission Fluid depending on the Transmission type

 

Exactly. Time for them to go. I can wash them off but the back of the wheels are coated with dust and it shows through the holes in my wheels. Looks just as bad.

 

I wouldn't mind much if the breaking power was improved a lot, I don't notice much of a difference from what I was running before.

 

Did the Increase OEM keyless entry mod. Took lots of photos and since I never found a write up with lots of photos I will write one up tonight.

 

There was a write up about it long ago. You want me to post up the link? Plus what security system do you have?
