Whoops, good catch... The rotors I listed are actually 4th gen rotors for the very reasons you mentioned. I'll fix that

Ah, I should have kept the boxes. I am 99% sure they are 5th-gen spec rotors; on their website they say 32mm rotor thickness which matches the 31.8mm thickness of OEM 5th gen rotors. I am running 17" rims too, yours should be fine. Yep, Rotrex C30-94 and intercooler came with the truck when I...

Hey everyone, I've seen some speculation about this kit in different threads and thought I'd post up my first impressions. I had a seized caliper in the front and rear and thought I'd replace everything just for good measure. Here is what I installed on my 2006 V6 Limited: Front: RR Racing...

Can't tell if trolling... First, probably should move this to the 4th gen section. The 5th gen section is for 4Runners produced in 2010+ Second, your 4Runner does not have a turbo. Can you be a little more descriptive about where it is coming from? Is it high-pitched?

I think you need to remove the spacer to get to the adjustment hole

I could be losing my mind...but is that Microsoft campus in the first pic?

Was about $1500 for the Wilwood calipers, pads, and DBA rotors in the front. Got brake lines from Crown for $150 Got everything else off Rockauto, around $300 after core return for calipers, pads, rotors. Ended up having to replace my wheel bearings in the front, and I've been working like...

I purchased 4th-gen Centric rotors, coated 5th-gen Centric calipers, and some Akebono pads for the rear.

I have this kit sitting in my garage along with Crown SS brake lines, will be installing everything once I finish moving (hopefully this weekend). I'll make sure to post pics and a review

These are now available on their website: RR Racing BBK I think one of my front calipers is seized so I may end up trying them out

My V6 is fully catless (URD equal-length headers and off-road Y-pipe) with the stock muffler. It didn't change the sound very much at all when I removed the cats, just added some rasp and is still pretty quiet. I started it up with just headers once while I was replacing the Y-pipe and it...

Interesting, so shifting to "D" causes RPMs to go up, and shifting to "4" causes RPMs to go down when cruising on the freeway?

So...in 5th gear at 70mph your 4Runner's V6 will always be running at the same RPM, likely ~2k RPM. No drain and fill will ever change your gear ratios. Now, if you are seeing significantly higher RPMs on the freeway than normal, that means you may be driving in 4th gear instead. Usually your...

OP also just realized you're in Seattle! If you get stuck I can swing by, I live there too

I can provide some insight, just replaced the headers on my V6 with Spec-U headers from URD. It's pretty straightforward but I have a couple of tips for stud removal: 1) Use a good penetrating oil on the studs the night before (I like Kroil) 2) Heat the studs up red-hot with a torch before...
