WTB: Tundra brake calipers

[3rdgenfan]

Been searching for awhile now for some tundra brake calipers. Would prefur the 04 for the bigger caliper. Will take old ones for a core charge as well.

If you're set on Toyota calipers then this will be of no help, but I just picked up a pair of the remanufactured 13WL calipers from AutoZone last week and paid a total of (funny...my BB kit 6.0 kit literally just arrived from Sonoran Steel as I'm typing this, anyway...) $265, that's including the core charge of $80.

I don't care about the brand I just want some 13WL calipers.

Well I read through every big brake upgrade post there was (all you really need to read is this from bigfishallday: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/3rd-g...ements-231mm-13wl-tundra-calipers-rotors.html ) and it seems like the consensus is that remanufactured calipers and OEM pads/rotors/pins/clips are the way to go for the best bang-for-the-buck. Admittedly if I had no budget, I'd have gotten the Toyota calipers too, but the $ difference was significant. I'm also opting to upgrade to stainless brake lines (ordered from Wheelers) while I'm at it. I'll let you know how it goes.

^^^^^^^yes

Everything mentioned above is spot on. I went with the Eclipse brand from NAPA. Now there was some back and forth about the ethics of exchanging the smaller calipers from our truck for the tundra ones. But I told my parts guy what I wanted to do and he saw it was perfectly fine so I don't know, I did it and had no problems. The brakes are awesome by the way you will be happy.

Looked on autozone last night and I can get the calipers for $220. I might go that route and call Toyota this morning to get a quote on rotors. I am also thinking about getting ss front brake lines. Already picked up the extended rear brake line from Toytec.
