Does anyone know about the differences in the T100 brakes and if they are bigger/have bigger stopping power and could possibly be put on a Toy Pickup or 2nd gen 4runner?

 

T100 brakers are the same calipers/rotors as you already have in your 93 V6 truck.

They can be put on any vehicle with 1st style IFS with no mods.

 

Well I would imagine so b/c the T100's also have 15" rims, BUT they also have I beleive different (at least different part #'s) rotors/calipers for 95-98 T100's, but I also think they still retained stock 15" rims (could be wrong).

The T100 IS a heavier truck and it does have higher payload capacities as well, so it would blow me away if they actually had the exact same parts and not a heavier duty rotor/caliper set up of some sort. Of course I could be wrong. But I do also know they did carry some parts over to the T100 from the compact trucks b/c the compact trucks ARE relatively heavy duty too.

 

Nevermind, found the info and looks like I was wrong.

 

Sorry to bring up a dead thread, but a google search of the same question brought me here...


From my research, I have found that the 4x4 T100s and 4runners run a different caliper and rotor than ANY pre-tacoma 4x4 pickup toyota made, 4 cylinder, v6 etc...

4x T100s and 4runners utilize a 4 (1.78" diameter) piston caliper, 4x Pickups run a 4 (1.68" diameter) piston caliper.

4x T100s and 4runners utilize a 11.45" diameter x .984" thick rotor, 4x Pickups run a 11.385 diameter x .787" rotor.

Both v6 and 4cyl 89-95 pickups show the same brakes being used regardless of engine size on the sources of my information (alldata / worldpac / rockauto). All vehicles I looked up were of the 1995 MY.







My question being now, is there anything different on the above mentioned trucks besides the calipers and rotors that would prohibit me from bolting up the larger calipers and rotors to my 1991 4x pickup? Has anyone here successfully executed the swap? Are the spindles, hubs, bearings... everything else the same?


Thank you.

 

All T100's use the exact same calipers and rotors as the V6 4runners and trucks from 89-95. The 96+ 4Runner and 95.5+ Tacomas use a completely different suspension set up than the T100's do.

There is nothing that will stop you from bolting the larger V6 Calipers and Rotors to your 91 truck, assuming is it not from a Tacoma or 96+ 4Runner.

 

My question is why would you want more braking power than stock?

 

Put some V6 calipers, rotors, and a v6 master/booster combo on your truck then come back to this thread.

More braking power is always better, and the factory brakes tho ok, can always be improved on.

 

35"s and a truck that's going to weigh around 4000lbs.

 

How come through my work using our Automate system and countless brake vendor books (Wagner, Aimco, Bendix and Raybestos) There are no differences in brakes between 89-95 pickups or 4runners regardless of engine size. 4 cylinder trucks use the same brakes 6 cyclinder trucks used after 89'. In 1988 and prior to - 4 cylinder trucks used slightly smaller bored calipers than the newly introduced v6. If you want to use a bigger master cylinder, Use one out of a 98-ish T100, although the factory cylinder in our trucks are already pretty hefty.

 

rockauto.com and alldatapro.com both list v6 and 4cyl pickups as having the .787" thick brake rotors, the rotors on my 1991 22re 4x4 are .787" thick as well with a minimum thickness of .709"

 

Ijust got done swapping my 89 runner calipers for 90 calipers.It was an accident on part Oreilly's,But they hold a slightly larger pad and have 4 equal size pistons. The 89 had 2 big and 2 medium size pistons.I neatly trimmed about 1/4" off of each dust shield and they have the same bolt pattern.The 90 pads I got were wagoners and had wear indicators on them I had to trim that tab flush so it would clear the rotor hub in the center.It looks legit and I see it as an improvement over the previous set up.It was only because they gave me the wrong parts I made this discovery, but what a happy accident. I'm sure some of the older members may have already known this but I thought I'd throw that out for this discussion.good luck with your truck upgrade project.

 

make sure the calipers aren't also ment for a sightly thicker rotor. if they are, the pistons could push passed their seals as the brake lining on the pad wears and gets thinner... resulting in a loss of fluid and no pedal!

not certain on what year span the below info applies to, but make sure you're running the correct rotors for your new calipers.

 

I think I'm safe on my tolerances and spacing ,but thanks for the heads up.All the parts were intended for 4runners no crossbreeding on my rig.If u want a good chuckle though, the PO of my runner changed only the brake parts on the right side of it. Everything on the drivers side was worn way past tolerances.The drum had worn such a lip and the adjuster wouldn't back in due to the rust and residue, I had to use a large 3 jaw puller to remove it. The shoes were hung up on the lip it gouged into it.Needless to say I overhauled the whole assembly with new parts.I can't say enough about the benefits of preventative maintenance.I do like all of the shiny new parts though.
