    Confused on Brake Upgrade

    I spent $206 on 2 Raybestos "loaded" calipers - came with all the clips and brake pads. Got them from Midwest Auto Parts thru their EBay auction -- a "buy it now" price of $103 each with free shipping & no core charge. Got the rotors from Amazon -- they are also Raybestos and were $80 for the...

    They did not rub !!

    If it will help anyone -- the biggest job on the brake upgrade besides bleeding is trimming the dust shield and it is not a big deal at all. I used a Dremel and some little cut off wheels and cut 3/4" off the top and bottom edges of the dust shield. It took about 10 minutes per side. When I put...

    He is correct --those are the wheels I have -- the older 5 spokes.

    Got the cooler thru Amazon -- about $54 -- it comes with 4' of hose but I bought 6' more to run them like I wanted.

    I installed the 231mm Tundra brakes today -- went together without any problems AND my wheels didn't need grinding ! They are MASSIVE compared to the stock brakes -- and work really well. Also installed the transmission cooler and it was the toughest job of the 2 . Thanks again for all the help !!

    199's or 231's

    I guess I'll be finding out about the "rub / don't rub" thing soon -- I ordered 231's and have the 5 spoke 16" wheels. Several members said it would work with the only trimming done on the shield. As far as cost , I looked EVERYWHERE for almost 2 weeks and the best price I found was from Midwest...

    Confused on Brake Upgrade

    I have read till I'm cross eyed and I'm still not clear on whether or not the Tundra 231mm brakes will work with my stock 16" wheels without grinding on them. I have read they will -- have read they won't . can anyone clear this up for me ??? These are the wheels I have :

    Stupid Keyless remotes !!!

    After all the checking and trying to reprogram -- I replaced a bad battery and the HYQ1512Y works !! So many guys here said their similar model 4runner used that # remote I went back and triple checked stuff -- I replaced the battery when I got the stupid thing but evidently it was dead when I...

    Stupid Keyless remotes !!!

    No I don't -- I can get one this evening. It is a pretty generic looking LED - I've never seen it light up -- I put a DEI remote start on a Grand Cherokee years back and it had a LED just like this one and it blinked when the alarm was armed. I doubt it is factory - it is mounted in the center...

    Stupid Keyless remotes !!!

    I've gone thru the programming steps and the locks cycle after the last step -- But nothing happens when I do the steps with the remote "push both lock and unlock then lock" -- nothing at all. The locks cycle by themselves after I do all the steps and turn the key on & off . I thought maybe an...

    Stupid Keyless remotes !!!

    Guys please have mercy on a new owner --- I bought a used 2002 sr5 4runner and I did not get door remotes. I read & researched and looked -- bought the one I thought I needed & it didn't work. Bought the other FCC # for my year -- it doesn't work either. Then I notice a little red LED sticking...
