Build looks real good, how are you liking the rear bumper?

Funny story. I actually just sold it and went back to stock, which I like better. The truck is more of a daily driver right now, and I wanted to shed the weight in favor of more mpgs.

I didn't mind the look of the Addicted Offroad 3rd gen rear bumper. However I wasn't in love with it (it was on the truck when I bought it). The best part of it was its minimal/high clearance profile—TONS of space under the tail end with the spare removed (full size in the trunk now) and a 2.5" suspension lift. But I don't really like the tube-style bumper aesthetic, just a personal preference thing.

After I complete a bunch of stock system/interior/mods, I'll look at new front/rear bumpers. I really like the look of CBI's plate offerings. Definitely want a tire carrier on the back, and that was another mark against the AO rear bumper.

Sold it to a fellow T4R guy, so it went to a good home. I need to put up a more current photo...

Great looking 4Runner! And a big thanks for the details you provided on the center console swap. I really want to do that mod soon...if I can find a gray console. It seems there are two shades of gray (moon mist for 96-98 and charcoal for 99-02). Do you ever notice the difference in color between the two sections of the center console? I would think not since where they butt up to each other is somewhat hidden by the seats.

Finally time for the TBU! I took a day off work to hang out in a cold garage with my Dad and upgrade my brakes. The originals OEMs were worn, shaky and mushy.

Here are the parts that I bought for this upgrade:
  • New OEM rotors from a 2005 V8 Tundra: 43512-0C011 ($64.01/each @ parts.camelbacktoyota.com)
  • NAPA calipers: SE-3263, SE-3264 ($90.49/each @ Napa)
  • OEM brake bads: 04465-35290 ($64.23 @ parts.camelbacktoyota.com)
  • OEM shim kit: 04945-35120 ($18.30 @ parts.camelbacktoyota.com)
  • Valvoline Synthetic Dot 3 & 4 brake fluid

And here are some photos from the day:


Fatta is betta!


These new brakes fit great behind my ProComp 7069 wheels

My partner in crime—Dad always has the tools I need but don't have yet!


Aside from having to re-trim the driver's side dust shield a couple times to finally clear the caliper (tried to remove as little as possible), this upgrade went without a hitch.

After everything stayed dry during my test drive, I put the kids to bed and went out to bed in the brakes: found a long stretch of country highway to do it safely. Now, the brakes feel awesome: beefy yet smooth. Lots of power.

This mod made possible by BFAD's awesome, extremely thorough walkthrough.

Well done. That's a feel good mod for sure. And time well spent with your Dad. Happy Holidays man!
