IT IS IN! It was a direct swap with no hiccups, thankfully. The worst part of the swap for me was the brake line brackets near the gas tank, but I was patient and managed to get them off without breaking anything. Literally couldnt have done it without my boi [MENTION=296097]That_Titanium_4RNR[/MENTION]
Parts list:
2012 FJ 8.2 w/elocker
Axle Soft Brake Lines
CENTRIC 15044407
CENTRIC 15044408
Rotors and Pads
DURAGO BK9139116
DURAGO BR90091202
DURAGO BP606C
Sway Bar End Links
MEVOTECH GS86809
Metal Tech LT Stainless Steel brake lines
Hard brake lines and calipers from a 2003 4runner v6
Like 3 quarts of spilled brake fluid
I did a full E-brake delete because mine hasn't worked for 4 years and I didn't wanna mess with it just yet

Also to those who may be concerned, the ebrake stuff would have worked too but we just decided to leave that for another time. The cables seem to be the same between 4th and 5th gens. At least at the ends
