I had the 13.30" (larger) brakes already but not sure if they came standard on the Limiteds

I see you are using Centric calipers and rotors.
Is Centric the actual Toyota OE Manufacturer?

Thanks for being the guinea pig on this, it is always cool to see people trying new things with their trucks. Do you know what was changed in the design of the 5th gen calipers to make them less prone to seizing?

Nothing beyond slightly larger piston I imagine. The issue is probably going to start cropping up on 5th gens as they get older as it did with 4th gens.

I used Centric rotors and calipers because of their quality. I love their rotors especially. Calipers looked great with the spring clip around each caliper boot.
Based on my search so far, I haven't seen much 5th gen calipers seizing yet and hope they don't. I hope they fair well like the 3rd gen calipers and 13wl calipers from the tundra. Also hoping that the clips around the caliper piston boots/seals help reduce the seizing of the calipers.

Those are pretty. Definitely putting that on my list of things to do! 
Even if they do wind up having the same problems as 4th gens, having larger pistons / greater stopping ability will be worth it.

Thanks for sharing, always good when a project write-up comes with part numbers. Nice job OP.
I am interested in knowing if the 5th gen calipers are the same as the 4th gen sport. I upgraded my 4th gen SR5 calipers and rotors last year to the bigger sport version, and would be good to know if I am already at 5th gen.

I just ordered everything to do this upgrade. With all of the experience on this forum with the re-man 4th gen calipers still continuing to have frozen calipers, I'll give this a try.
I ordered the centric calipers and rotors, and Toyota OEM pads. Does anyone know if the toyota pads need a shim kit? I thought i remember seeing that they did, or maybe they have been updated?

Here are the Centric 5th Gen Caliper vs. 4th Gen Caliper via Rockauto. Looks like the 5th are indeed 3mm larger in piston size.
5th Gen:
4th Gen:

Perfect! Your welcome guys, it's the least I could do.
Also the rotors are 1mm taller in height and 4.3mm thicker
The bad is its 1.3lbs heavier

Subscribed....very interested in how this turns out for folks. 
I think I might be getting warning signs of going through my second set of seized calipers in 2 years.....

This is a great find! Getting the feeling that my calipers are starting to stick again (need to actually check). For the negligible price difference and the possibility of eliminating the issue for good on top of the benefit of larger pistons this seems like a no brainer.

Rotors are 13.30". Only difference with the rotors are the fronts are thicker meaning less chances of rotor warping and better cooling
Other than that, brake power increased but the best is not having to deal with seized brake calipers.

Where did you find the information that the pad's for 4th gen and 5th are the same? The toyota part numbers are different when I looked them up for the pads. Just curious because I'm doing this upgrade and want just want to make sure I have all the correct parts.
2011:
pads: 04465-60320
Shims:04945-60090
2006:
pads: 04465-35290
shims: 04945-25120

I just did a quick search of some aftermarket stores (Napa, O'Reilly, Autozone) and the part numbers were the same for 2014 & 2003 front brake pads. Where applicable, I did punch in Limited for the 2003, as that's what I have, and Trail for 2014.
084RUNNAH, you obviously have wheel spacers installed. Do the later model calipers protrude any further than the originals?
I guess what I am asking is will they interfere at all with OEM wheels? I guess we will find out soon enough with everyone wanting to do this (including myself).

I just called Toyota and had the parts guy pull a front/rear pad set for my 2006 sport and a front/rear pad set for a 2015 SR5. He said the pads match up and are all the same even though there are different part numbers. He added the 2015 pads are cheaper because they're the current model.
