I've been using Rockauto for years and I have to admit, I've never had to return anything... I did receive the wrong caliper boots once and a wrong caliper pin (not for the 4Runner), but seeing as these parts were < $5 and return shipping from Canada to the US was double the cost of the parts, I didnt bother...
Maybe I should buy a lottery ticket..
Looks great by the way, you won't be disappointed. I did the TBU back in 2015 and have never warped rotors since---- or experienced brake fade while towing...

This is my 2nd one running the S13WE Tundra Rotors. I really can not stand warped rotors. I took the rig today and just about got the brakes burned in. I believe I need to bleed them again as they are working decent. I just think I still have some air in the system yet. I use stainless steel speed bleeders as well. They work great but you need to add that white paste in place of plumbing tape to threads. As if you remove and reuse them a few times you need to reapply of thread sealer as if you don't. The air can seep around the threads. The speed bleeders come with a thread coating and its available to order I will Thread Sealant bootle when I order more bleeders. ;-)

I am suspecting its folks putting the 3rd gen calipers back i as cores and messing up the supply chain. As I got 2 S13WM. What a mess this made. :-(

That is what counts. :-) Careful, you may make a typo and karma will get you. Things happen, folks have bad days get in a hurry and sometimes type badly.

Ah, yes, most defiantly (or definitely  ).

I got a chance to re bleed all 4 corners on Shitbox after I replaced the 2 front calipers with S13WE and Tundra Rotors. Like I suspected from the feel of the pedal I had some air in the system that needed purged out. I know some folks don't care for speed bleeders. However, when living in the rust belt and you buy the stainless steel version. They work great provided you keep the thread sealant on it. By letting one person do the job instead of 2.
Now around less then 1/2 inch pedal movement and brakes are applied. Very nice as no rotor surface warpage. Much much better.
