good job man, i usually think red calipers are a bit too blingy but they blend in perfectly with the rest of the setup, props!

I'm not a fan of red by any means, but Bill's 3rd gen 4Runner is one of the cleanest and most meticulously kept I've seen, and the red looks good on his truck...especially to offset some of that damn nasty orange and blue. Looks good Bill!

Thanks guys.
Yeah, red was definitely not my 1st choice either (was leaning towards black or silver), but once I saw a small sample of the high gloss red, I was hooked

Nice! Looks like an upgrade to definitely keep in mind. I've been lucky with my brakes: 85K, all original and still going strong!

sweet. I scored a set of tundra calipers and rotors on craigslist for $25! The pads have about 12k on them. I tempted to just try the setup as is instead of getting new pads.
Thanks for posting. Now i want to pc my calipers to match the Tacoma. |

I really wanted to do this as well but my runner is red so it would look a bit ridiculous.
I have to say; yours looks absolutely incredible...

I think it looks really good.
I have been thinking of doing the same, but with the brush on paint made for them.

Yeah, I probably would have painted them by hand too, but for as little as Brian charged me to pc them, I couldn't refuse
. Now days, anyone interested in having something pc'd, there are literally hundreds of colors to choose from. In one brochure I looked at, even a color that "glows in the dark" is offered. Possibilities are endless with this stuff. Thanks again for all the compliments.

By just the color of those calipers, I would have to say "YES, by 10 fold!!"
![]() No, seriously, that looks good!!! And, I am jealous of your Tundra brakes. I want to do this now.

To be honest, it's tough to pin point exactly. Reason being, I've been driving on bad brakes for some time now (2+ months). Therefore any thing new I put on there would have been an improvement over what I had.
With that said, yes braking is much, much better than it was before and I don't "baby" my brakes nearly as much as I did before either. I know it will stop now when I want it to. ![]() As others have noted, the pedal did go down a tad bit further at first, but now it's as firm as stock. Once these brakes grab, they really grab.

http://www.ultimateyota.com/index.ph...16142#msg16142 Mine went down a bit further too when I first installed them but the power bleeding fixed that. My pedal is about the same firmness as stock, but grabs much quicker if you really get on the pedal.

Oops...guess I was thinking one thing and typing another . Yes, my brake pedal went down a little further at first, but now it's as firm as stock. Thanks for pointing that out Jamie...I'll update my older post. Don't want to confuse anyone.

4runr4nick - Look up the Tundra brake upgrade in the tech section. It lists all of the parts and prices.
Rock Slide - Good job on the pics. I wanted to go with Tundra's, too, but I will see how this new set up works before spending any more cash.

Yeah, these new brakes are great. I actually enjoy stopping now ![]() Quote:
![]() Again, it wasn't much more for the Tundra parts vs the stock parts since I was replacing everything anyway.
