Brake Swap Question

[xskydivingdudex]

Hey guys, well ive been so busy with school and work that havent been on in a while really... i am debating on whether to sell or keep the runner since my daily driver took a dive a couple of weeks ago but thats not wat this thread is about.

So since i planned to sell it ive been putting off some maintenance that the runner truly needs and since im daily driving it right now im getting kinda annoyed by all the imperfections of the ride. I have been needing new rotors sicne mine are warped and well i figured it time for the TUNDRA BRAKE SWAP but cant seem to find any 231mm calipers that are not $100-150 a piece. So i was talking to my dad and he mentioned that we had some rotors from my mom's '05 Sequoia and that i should just put those on and use my factory caliper since the pads are new but im not sure if this will work. Even if it does work, do u think i should just wait til i can find a set of tundra calipers or just replace the rotors for now and add the calipers when my pads are worn?

You need new calipers becuase the tundra rotors are a lot thicker, wont fit in the stock calipers.

Go to a junkyard and get the calipers used, but get new rotors and pads.

start checking craigslist and ebay also- I found a set of 199s a couple weeks ago so they are out there.. imo if you need to get in there and take it apart then now's the time to go ahead and do the swap no sense in buying rotors that wont be used that long. the sequoia rotors will work tho, just not with your stock calipers as Hepar said. Your also going to need to trim the dust shield so the new rotors will fit.

lol thats funny, but ya i figured thats the case... dang looks like my maintenance list wont be cheap since there are a few other things needing to be replaced also.

I am getting ready to do the conversion; I am finding the calipers for 76 at Autozone, of course that is after the core charge. Before the core it's like 116 or something.
