Get yourself some DBA 4x4 Survival Series Rotors with some Hawk LTS Pads. You will be extremely impressed with the increase in braking power. Not to mention how damn good those rotors look on a 4runner...very manly.

Castrol Edge imitation full synthetic 5w 30 with Royal Purple filters.

I used Mobil1 synthetic in all 6 zerks. It completely eliminated all of my drivetrain clunk/jerking.

You better jump on that offer. Then go buy a dry filter for it.

Hell yea

Yes, I have the DBA T3 4000 4x4 Survival Rotors with Hawk LTS pads. I got them all on AutoAnything for 20% off. It is an amazing setup once they get bedded in properly. The initial bite is very aggressive compared to stock. I'm. going to put some stainless steel lines on next time I have to...

Calipers for these vehicles are total shit. Well known fact, not debateable. Get something like A1 Cardone with weatherproof paint coating. They look good, cost only about $65 a piece from RockAuto and have a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty. Plus people on here tend to favor them for...

OP, I got news for ya bud. A1 cardone is the manufacturer of those NAPA calipers you speak of...

Denso is what you get from the factory...

If you're not doing a job yourself, a worst case emergency situation would be going to a dealer for service of any type. Find a certified reputable mechanic that runs a real shop, not a dealership.

As someone else mentioned, after any header install on any vehicle after a month of 2 tighten up your mounting bolts, studs or nuts. Do so with the engine at normal operating temperature not cold.

I say, more important than anything else, leave your badges on. Debadged vehicles look ridiculous in most cases. Not to mention the instant drop in value.

I just want to throw in a thanks to everyone who gave information and links on how to fix this issue. I just bought a 05 sport edition 4wd v8 and the drivers side is burnt out. Gonna replace it this week..
