I am not sure if I completely understand your question but I think my recommendation would be to just buy caliper rebuild kits for your 4th gen sport calipers with brand new rotors+pads to save some money.
I highly recommend full brake fluid flush and conversion to full synthetic and I...
Updated OP:
UPDATE:
Some people are still having issues with the calipers still seizing. This seems highly situational and I haven't taken the time to look for a pattern of causation.
I personally have had 0 issues and absolutely love the added stopping power. (Installed everything in March...
The 5th shields aren't really an upgrade. I personally recommend just bending or cutting them and spend the extra money on something else.
I used a Dremel when I upgraded my 3rd gen 4R to Tundra calipers.
I'll rephrase it then. Everyone that has a Limited seemed to have the 13WH so I assumed it was standard.
I already mentioned this in the "Wheels" section. It isn't very large so it's probably easy to overlook.
I'll try to word the recommendation so it sounds more motivating haha
5th Gen 4Runner Brakes Upgrade (for 4th Gen 4Runner)
I tried to help summarize the information found in this thread and other sources:
http://www.toyota-4runner.org/4th-gen-t4rs/249328-5th-gen-4runner-brakes-upgrade-4th-gen-4runner.html

UPDATE:Some people...

Toyota 4Runner High Output Alternators
2003 to 2006 -- 4.7L -- 320 Amp $505.00
Sorry for the very long delay!
I have actually been working on some other vehicles I plan on selling and then investing that money into the 4Runner.
Tons of mods coming :
Dual battery system
Suspension
Rock sliders
Skid plates
Rear air locker
Either front air locker or TrueTrax
Maybe bumpers...
I almost bought an Optima Yellowtop D31A i believe but the battery I chose seemed to be the cost to quality i was looking for.
I have considered converting but i wanted to try to stick with the largest size i can fit.
I am leaning towards Second Skin at the moment.
In the past I have used the stereo to control the SW (back in my '97 civic with dual 10s in the trunk) and I found myself just dealing with the same base level from album to album even though it was slightly overpowering at times and underwhelming at others. I can still use the stereo if I...
