Typo on my part. I meant grinding the wheels, not the calipers

Grinding the calipers Thanks everyone for the input. I'm going with the 231mm mainly because of towing

I found a shop that will do it. They said they would do the 231mm for less then $40 more then the 199's. Will the 231mm calipers fit the split 3 wheels after they are ground down or do you need to run spacers with the split 3's regardless?

Thanks everyone for the responses. Right now I'm trying to find a local shop to do the upgrade but having a difficult time. If I can't find one that will do it I'll do it myself.

Thanks for the clarification. I think I'm going to go with the 199mm's. I know the 199's have 13WE on the caliper. Is there a specific part numbers I can tell the shop? Or just tell them calipers, pads, and rotors off a 2001 Tundra? Thanks everyone for there input

Those are the wheels I have.

I have a 98 Limited with the factory 6 spoke 16" wheels. I am going to have a trusted, local repair shop replace the brakes and will see if they will do the upgrade for me. I am trying to decide between the 199mm vs 231mm. I use it as my daily driver as well as towing a 5x8 enclosed trailer with...

Does anyone know if the stock full size spare will fit with the 199mm brake upgrade?

Thanks everyone for the responses. Going to have the transfer case and differential fluids changed right now and do more items later on. Darren

Thanks for the reply's. How often should you change things like differential fluid, transfer case fluid , transmission fluid, and coolant?

What are the recommend services to perform at 85K for a 1998 Limited 4x4 3.4L Auto? This is my first 4runner and I purchased it used in April with 79,000. Shortly after purchasing it (<1000 miles) I replaced the radiator, coolant, had the lower ball joints checked, and changed trans fluid and...

Test drove it today and ended up buying it. Pulled my 5x8 enclosed trailer with 2 dirt bikes with ease. Did a mixture of city driving and interstate driving on the test drive with no issues. Had a very smooth ride when doing 70-80 mph on the highway with no swaying or tugging. I plan on doing...

Thanks again for the reply's. The dealer said that I can bring my trailer and take it for a test drive with it tomorrow. I will let you know how it pulls my trailer. If I do purchase it I will defiantly do trans cooler and lower ball joints. Darren

Thanks for the reply's. The 1998 that I am looking at has 78,000 and has been regularly maintained by a Toyota dealer. Should I still consider replacing the radiator and lower ball joints with that mileage? I will defiantly get a transmission cooler for it. Millerad1651, how much does your boat...

I am looking at purchasing a 1998 4runner limited 4x4 with the 3.4L and auto transmission. My main concern after doing some research is towing. I have a 5x8 v-nose single axle trailer without trailer brakes that I use to haul 2 dirt bikes and gear. All loaded up I estimate it ways between...
