For sale I have a pair of 4th gen running boards. They are off a 2008 SR5. The are in great shape and perfect mechanical condition. Took them off cause the wife kept hitting her shins on them.

I really don't feel like locating your references for you. I posted mine. I'll consider your opinion on the matter, but without solid evidence, it's hard for me to accept. also, as a chemist, I am well versed in scientific method. With my personal experience, I found the drilled slotted...

not trying to start an arguement here, but the link only sent me to people's opinions our people posting links to other people's opinions. one poster did say that even Ferrari would admit to only using the drilled rotors for looks. Unfortunately, I don't know any of the engineers at Ferrari to...

would you perhaps have a reference? From the research I've looked up, the best for us mainly daily drivers, slotted are the right ones. Drilled are only for dissipating heat They do not improve stopping force. The slots however provide a better surface and are good for clearing debris. also the...

Good lookin out man, but I actually did reference that wrote up. One of the best I've seen. I will absolutely post any custom mods I do on my rig. I used to post dBm all the time in Tacomaworld. I'm still be here and not very familiar with the 3rd gen runners. I had a 2nd gen Taco. My wife have...

The one thing I haven't done is bed the brakes. It is something I am not familiar with, and frankly, this is the first time of heard of it. I think I'm going to change out the brake fluid too. It was quite cold this morning and the brakes were worse until they heated up! Thank you so much...

I bought them from Amazon. Full set of Calipers, Rotors, and Pads.

Well, I think there may be another problem with my runner then. I replaced the calipers to improve braking. Wasn't worried about warped rotors. Think I might have to do some investigating/adjusting.

That's weird. When I put the drilled slotted rotors on my '06 Taco, there was a great improvement in bite and stopping force. Aren't the drilled rotors are for heart dissipation and the slotted are for preventing glaze, therefore giving better bite and performance? These have both, so I would...

These sound like some solid suggestions! I will get on it ASAP! I really don't know why making such an adjustment didn't come to mind! Thank you!!

Definitely fully bled. Not my first rodeo replacing calipers. I just was expecting a bigger change. Anyone live local to me (Ventura county) that knows what they are supposed to feel like? I had a 2006 Tacoma prerunner before and my wife has a 2008 4runner. Both brake systems worked much much...

Hey Everyone, I was just wondering how much better the brakes get with the Tundra upgrade. I just recently put a set of powerstop 231mm Tundra calipers and drilled slotted rotors. While my brakes do seem a little better, it's not the "great" improvement I was expecting. I am starting to wonder...

Not sure how these are cheaper!? The ones from wheelers are $78.00 each. That would be $312 plus shipping or pick em up. The ones I found on ebay are $232 shipped.

I found what seems like a great price on some steel 16x8s, but I want to know if anyone else is running these? Summit Racing 85 Black Steel 8 Series Wheels 16"x8" 6x5 5" Set of 4 | eBay Please let me know.

What is the backspacing on these? How far north do you usually make it? I'm in Ventura.
