Interesting. Will check FSM later and report back (although may be late, heading into busy weekend). I asked ChatGPT to distill this thread because it's a monster. I'm sure I referenced this back in 2016 when I did the upgrade: Hard to find Specs, Info & Measurements on 231mm 13WL Tundra...

Thanks for the input!! I did a good 6-7 full hard 50-10mph cycles this evening. I believe I got very good activation of ABS. I have CEL, VSC, and TRAC lights on because of a stupid evap leak I can't find. Any chance that would hinder anything?... I wouldn't think so. I swear I got a higher...

Raising this from the grave because it's about time I did something about this because I've never done any towing until now that we bought a boat... I did the TBU in 2016 on my 2002 2WD 4Runner with these 13WL calipers: POWER STOP S2712 (New) Red Powder Coated, Front; with Caliper Casting #...

Factory bolts, been going just fine for 2 years

ahh, thanks. well I would be interested but I just found out how much hacking the housing needs for these to go in :doh:

oh that's fantastic to hear feedback, I was looking at that. Honestly I'm not surprised... accuracy isn't their focus for those "design" oriented 3d model sites, just shiny, good looking models, and what we need is the opposite.

wow, really resurrected an old one here! I just started hunting for a model and also wow, very discouraging, doesn't seem to be anything. Nowadays, however, 3D scanning has come a long way. I may work on a scan of at least the front end.

super dumb question: are the locker axles different from open diff?

Yeah, it's a bit of a middle ground between built and scratch-built that, as long at it saves "enough" money, would be a fun project... not for people who don't want a project or don't have the means to complete. $200 for shipping is a overestimate, it won't cost that much, especially not being...

gotcha, understood, if there were bent parts the cost would be a fair bit more. It sounds like I've got a friend who will waterjet parts for me, so now many options hmmm:decision:

I looked at CBI but didn't find any kits... Only DIY kits I see are for 1st gen 4R and Tacoma. Can you locate an offering from them? Bandit! I saw your stuff in my searches, will add. Have you gotten rough pricing to have your parts laser cut and bent? I'd LOVE to have your vehicle CAD model, I...

Hi! I want to do a front bumper on my very pedestrian mostly-commuter 02 SR5... gotta put a winch on there just in case it gets muddy on the occasional woodsy trip. I like the idea of fabbing my own, but right now it seems like too inaccessible a project, but these bumper kits sound awesome...

I saw it asked here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/2068223-post640.html ...but did not see anyone answer. And apparently 2 character searches are a no-go here (SH). Has anyone used the larger diameter (339mm?) rotors with the SH casting marked calipers on a 3rd gen? Have 17 inch wheels.

That's a fantastic resource!!! I had the 70264 and the 70268 both pulled up, debating on which one to get. I suppose I'll get the 70264 since that seems to be what everyone else has done. 14,400 BTU vs 13,000 BTU respectively, I don't think the latter would be too small honestly. Really glad...

Thanks for that link! That's a fantastic wealth of info! I will be doing an external trans cooler and I'll check on recall status for the ball joints. Definitely don't want a lower ball joint to fail! I JUST had my trans flushed and the fluid was a brown-red. I might take it to a trans...
