What did you do with your 4runner today?

Calipers from a 5th gen I'm assuming ? Bolt straight on ?
There's a thread all about the 5th gen brake conversion here in the 4th gen section. You need 17" wheels or larger. 16"wheels won't clear the caliper. There are a few other details but essentially yes they're direct bolt on. Read through the thread. I replaced all calipers, rotors, pads and soft lines to stainless for around $500 doing the work myself. Biggest tip, if you buy new calipers, spend the extra $20 and get pre painted calipers or they will develop surface rust quickly.

I've had zero issues since coverting and increased braking power. Living in the rust belt at the time made it a pain with a few seized and stripped nuts but in the end I'm glad I did it.
 
Found a great NM mudbath
and threw another coat of oxide primer onto my CBI armor

That's awesome I did find the thread! Thank you for the info. But I wonder if they're better than the sport edition brakes ? Cause I already cannot run anything smaller than a 17 inch wheel

Same brakes, just better caliper design is the way I understand it.
 
anyone want to take a guess at what the rear seats weigh? also the passenger side rear seat back weighs as much as all the 3 of the other parts combined

Decided to move my roof rack again and also moved my other hella led to the back of the rack.
