Why not get all the truck in that angle, you can clearly see the trucks that way

Sweet truck, really like the black

ahriman

uhom- oh man, these tires are sweet! see some quick bits here. our trucks rock!

Michael,

I know you posted this in various ways, but how did you manage to replace the 17" wheels with 16"? What happened with oversized front brakes? I've been jumping back and forth between two forums and can't multi-thread any more.

...you never go back! Nice looking rig, even if it is a 4th genner!

Now for some sliders to protect those rocker panels!

Michael has the 2003 sr5 which has the smaller brakes. Therefore he was able to fit the 16's as expected

r0cky

in another thread, Michael said he has the bigger brakes.

Good Times

That's odd... I was certain the 03's SR5 (and the Limited) came standard w/ the smaller brakes. The 17" wheels were a PIO(port installed option) or DIO(dealer installed option) which meant that the brakes were the smaller 12.whatever" brakes.

r0cky

I know, GoodTimes .... I thought the same. I have no idea, to say the least!

ahriman

yabedude- what? ya got tennis neck?

the wheels i have are 16" w/only 3.75" of backspacing so the wheels do not fit _over_ the calipers per se, but allow the wheel to clear the calipers by sort of going around them (meaning the wheel stays in front of the caliper). the downside to this is that the tire sticks out of the fender about 1.5" .

ahriman

waskilly- green is not your best color

got some sliders on order from richard stubbs, cannot wait to attack some rocks!



lance- i am next to positive that tracy, timber and i (as well as others w/17" wheels) have the same size calipers. i talked w/toyota about replacing my calipers w/the smaller calipers and they agreed i have the larger due to the wheel size (read: NOT related to model). they gave me part numbers 47730-35160, description 16 inches disc wheel, and 47730-60130-, description 17 inches disc wheel. so by their description it was determined the calipers are related to wheel size. again, this was toyota, so... what also tips me that i have the larger calipers is that tire/wheel shops could find NO wheels to fit over my calipers, and was advised at every turn to try 17" wheels.


uhom- did you see my offer in another thread? if you take me up on it, we can solve this mystery!

Michael:

I did read that thread on the size as well as looked at the parts but the easiest way to figure out whether your discs are the 13" or not is by just measuring them If it's 12 and change then you know you have the smaller ones.

Since on the toyota spec only the SPORT model was suppose to have the 13" disc. I know for the 04 models they changed the Limiteds to have 13" as well...

I rare trust the stealer so it's best to just do the measurement since you have the truck in your garage

r0cky

wait wait wait, whoah, slow down there, Good Times. maybe YOU have the tools necessary to "measure" at your house, but, uh, not all of us have that luxury.

calg3

Awesome truck! Especially all black. How do you like the tires so far? How does the V8 handle spinning thos e big new shoes? Swweeeet ride...

bulldog-yota

His Runner kicked ass at Hollister on Saturday!!! The V8 has plenty of oomph, go to the trail section and see him spinning it sideways up hills with the 285's

yabedude

Michael,

Next time you pull your wheel off, check the size. That's about the only way this mystery wil be solved.

VERY nice. I'f I had black - I would do the same look with the wheels. Sweet ride bro - I used to live in Santa Cruz and I visit often - I'll make sure to look you up so we can go wheeling with our rigs !

PistonSlap

Brake size is dictated by the wheel size not the model. Of course all sports would have the larger brakes since they all have 17in wheels. For other models it depends their original wheel size. If you look at partznet for rotors, you will see it is split by w or w/o 16 in wheels for all models.

Very nice looking truck!
