Keep in mind with your search that 01-02 rear axles brakes are different than previous years.
Wheel cylinder size brake hardware backing plate is different. Wheel cylinder diameter is the critical difference.

I was hoping to find just the 3rd member, but that’s good to know if I find an entire axle assembly. That’s moved to the very back burner though since it’s been quiet since replacing the carrier bearings.

I was unaware of the rear 01 and 02 changes. Wheel cylinder, different backing plate. Interesting indeed. I recall the brake hardware being slightly different though.

I was unaware also when I got into swapping E-locker Axle into my 01.
01's oval port on backer for adjusting shoes is rearward of axle tube pre 01 in front of tube.
Hardware does not interchange, shoes I used were for pre 01 axle, they have different part number than 01's.
WC is larger on pre 01 than 01 think that has to do with going from 3 chan ABS to 4 chan ABS.
I used the smaller 01 WC to keep it OE with 01 MC, pre 01 shoes and hardware been working fine for 10k mi.
Damn sure made notes in maint log.

Your in a good place then.
How far are you from Greenville MS. I'm a lil over 100 miles. I still have 01 4.10 200k mi complete axle minus brakes n hardware I posted add with pics couple years ago on this site. Maybe work something out.
More than likely be in Fort Smith in October for Jamboree.

I'm getting jealous reading this! Im dying to take apart my girl to regear, and long travel that b1tch. Need a backup ride ugh.. enjoy the build bad luckster 👍

I'll send you a private message here shortly about the axle housing

Thanks for the kind words! It's funny how the cycle goes. Get a new vehicle, plan on keeping it stock nothing crazy, then before you know it you need to buy a beater car so you have something to drive while you work on your main vehicle lol

What a weekend! I discovered Friday that my storage unit was broken into sometime between May 7th-9th. Allegedly a lot of the storage units in the compound were broke into. The office was closed when I discovered that my unit had their lock and not mine which annoyed me so I removed their lock. Opened the door to my storage unit and found the massive lock that I use sitting on the floor unscathed. I guess it was too big to cut, but not hard to pick. Anyways, they took a couple faucets, water filter system, garbage disposal and my rear disc brake conversion kit. The theft of the kit upset me the most because midcoma stopped making them awhile ago.

Went to the storage unit office Saturday morning to figure out what was going on and to raise hell. They only had 1 security camera looking at the gate entrance/exit so no way to tell which vehicle was the culprit. The only thing I had going for me at this point was the storage unit company I used sold out to a bigger storage unit company several months ago, and the new storage unit company required everyone to carry $5000 of insurance so at least I'm covered for the value of what was stolen.

I private messaged midcoma Saturday night hoping by some miracle that he had an extra full kit or knew someone that had an extra full kit and would be willing to sell it. It was a longshot, but I've been dreaming of installing the conversion kit and finally purchased several of the parts to do it. Luckily for me he had a full kit that someone had purchased a month or so ago but didn't pay for the extra shipping charge so he refunded the other guy his money and sold it to me. Talk about a miracle (at least in my eyes)! I can't thank him enough! He did recommend that I not wait a year to install this kit so it wouldn't get stolen lol!

I did file a police report on Sunday once I knew what I was missing. Next steps will be to contact storage unit company for the insurance information and the police station for a copy of the report.

That sucks but at least u lucked out with the replacement kit, good luck with the insurance claim...

Bogus . I really don't have time for theifs.. I personally don't think the pushisments are high enough.

Just add another 3rd gen to your fleet so you have something to drive while working on the other.

If the police recover the stolen rear disc kit what will you do with two?

*Slow wink

Seriously tho, bummer and what a stroke of luck. I hate thieves and have had too many things stolen to not feel it each time I hear it happened to someone else.

Glad there was a silver halo to your cloud but that feeling of violation - I'll never get used to that.

That would truly be the miracle lol With only one camera on location I would be surprised if there was even a follow up from a detective at this point. BUT if it does get recovered then I'll sell it.

It's not the first time I've been robbed, and it never feels any better. Expectations are much more managed and realistic this time.

Over the weekend I noticed some fairly high coolant temps while towing. I think the highest I saw was 230*F which is almost 40*F higher than I am used to seeing with my previous 4Runner. I used this as an excuse to mentally justify buying the Koyo radiator (VH010665N) and Koyo radiator cap (SK-C13). I shopped around on the interwebs and found that Sparktec Motorsports had the cheapest total price for the two at $417. I paid via paypal, but never received an email or invoice directly from Sparktec Motorsports.

I went home today for lunch with every intention of contacting them today about my order status when I discovered my order had been delivered. The radiator box was beaten and open, but upon further inspection the radiator didn't have a scratch on it! I brought it into work to store until I'm ready to install it. I also bought an oem thermostat and gasket that should be here later today or tomorrow. I still need to go by the Toyota dealership next door to get a few gallons of Toyota red coolant to mix with distilled water. I'm debating on replacing the fan clutch with an Aisin one just because I'm there already. I've got a new oem heater water valve assembly to put on as well.

Good to see a little luck going your way on the radiator. As that box is on the rough side.
