Thanks for the link...everything looks very cut and dry. So it seems like the only slight modification would be the banjo bolt? Im assuming that everything else is plug and play?

Upgrade the master WTF? Have you priced out a MC lately? Besides from the leg work, I did it, appears the 1st Gen Tundras with the 199mm caliper and the V6 got the same MC as '01-'02 Runners. The piston diameter on the 199mm caliper is the same as the stock Runners so the ▲volume to create the same amount of pressure on the pads is = (at least purdy damn close).

When I did mine I started in the rear by replacing the lines with extended stainless steel. I freed up the adjusters and adjusted the shoes and commenced to bleeding the rear. The rear went painfully slow and since I had a coupon from the dealer for a brake system flush, I figured I'd get it "good enough" and then take her in and let them deal with it. I moved on to the front. Fronts went on with out a hitch and they practically bled them self by gravity. I went back and did the rears and this time they bled fine.

After beding them in, pedal travel has decreased and has firmed up a-lot. Not harsh or touchy, but the way it should feel right from the get-go IMHO.

When I started the swap I found some OEM take offs for cheap and planned on rebuilding. I nabbed 2 of the last 25 (at that time) piston rebuild kits from Toyota for $11 or $12 bucks each. I then started pricing out the other parts I needed......What The ****..........so I started looking at the aftermarket. With some research by my parts guy we found out that Akebono was one of the OEM suppliers for the Tundra calipers. I ordered the Akebono Pro-Act loaded calipers w/ Pro-Act pads. I got more back from the core charge than I paid for the take offs, so I came out $20 a head than if bought all the parts I needed individually.

I highly recommend the Akebono stuff. The combination of the Pro-Act pads, the DBA (Disk Brake Australia) 4000 Kangaroo Paw slotted rotors and Goodridge lines is a winner . :fingers crossed: Hopefully no more warped rotors

 

I did Tundra brakes on my 04 Taco, argonzeros writeup is spot-on. I switched over to goodrich SS brake lines, they bolt up with no mods. This mod is awesome, I feel like I have at least 30-40% more braking power now.

BTW, if you go with SS brake lines the Tacoma lines are the ones you want. EZ bolt on with no mods. I got mine from Wheelers.
