I have never disassembled calipers down that far!! I always thought they were filled with magic brake voodoo.. ha ha awesome content and information as always Austin! Keep on keepin' on!!!
As a helpful hint, remove bleed nipple and use compressed air line to blow out/remove the pistons. Just hold a rag against the pistons to catch them lol.
What type of masking tape is used that can withstand the 400 degrees heat? Also is there any danger of the rotors becoming warped from the heat? Thank you for sharing your talent.
Hey I was wondering if you could post the part numbers for the hard brake lines and the brackets. I was going to buy the big brake kit but looks like I can buy everything separate for quite a bit cheaper. Thanks!
Hi I wanna do the upgrade to my 96 Toyota Tacoma but my Mechanics shop manager told me that the calipers are to big and I will have to get bigger rims other then the stock rims..??? Is this true ??
This is an easy kit, The bracket is From Australia but the rest of the parts you can get from Rockauto. www.designfab.com.au/buying/how-to/toyota-hilux-rear-disc-brake-conversion/
With the detail you're putting under the truck in places most won't see, do you have any plans for the paint on the truck? Man you put that second caliper together way faster! ;o)
What! No swap for the back brakes? well more like dog food bowle's I for the life of me don't know why Toyota puts em on the taco but no other Toyota truck?
I can’t believe you stopped on my name for the 9007’s. When I watched the previous video I thought you had said 9003. I love my T100, but it seems like there’s nothing you can do with the headlights.
Some of the best work I’ve seen on UA-cam! Enjoy every video on these builds.
Wow, thanks!

Thanks man!! Glad you enjoy!
SRQ fab makes extended brake lines for front and rear (i think three inches longer front) that i have in my 3g4r and they’re very good quality!

😂
Ha ha magic brake voodoo.
Because of these videos I’m gonna rebuild my calipers.
It gets just better and better, that's awesome
Awesome stuff👍👍 This is the best upgrade I've done on the 4Runner along with converting the rear to discs. Keep up the great content🍺🍺
Is the new bigger calipers compatible with the stock wheels 🛞.

What do you do with rear drum brakes ? Stick with oem?
Would you reccomend this on all tacoma's? Ive had issues with my brakes for a while...
Yes this is a great upgrade for the 1st gen tacoma
Do you need to upgrade the brake booster for this mod?
Hey I was wondering if you could post the part numbers for the hard brake lines and the brackets. I was going to buy the big brake kit but looks like I can buy everything separate for quite a bit cheaper. Thanks!
Hey where can I go buy this kit for my 96 tacoma 4x4 thanks
When you reassembled the calipers, What did you tourqe the bolts to on the caliper halfs?
I couldn't find a spec, I just went tight plus a smidge haha
Is there a reason to not use cericote on brake calipers?
You put the clips for the braided lines on backwards.
Yup, thats why they have a little bit of play.
For factory lines yes, with these lines not exactly working with the mounts I had to improvise
Will the 13WL brake calipers work?
Tacoma calibers are notorious for premature failure i.e. one or two pistons seizing. Does this swap fix that?
Do you have a part number for the calipers? I’m not a huge fan of the powder coated red calipers you linked in the description.
Will these be a good upgrade the gen 5 4runner as well?
I can't believe how clean the frame on that truck is!!
Not the rear end 🤣I'm from Cali. I have a 2000 4runner 3rd gen and the only rust is old mud.
Will this work on a 2022 tacoma by chance?
Do you know if this will work for the 2wd 5 lug version mine are trash
Will this work on a 3rd gen Tacoma
how long to you degas them?
What type of media do you use in your sand blaster?
80 grit aluminum oxide
Does the 13WL work on a second gen 4unner
Hi I wanna do the upgrade to my 96 Toyota Tacoma but my Mechanics shop manager told me that the calipers are to big and I will have to get bigger rims other then the stock rims..??? Is this true ??
Love your work.
Please consider painting the bed cover in black!
The white just seems out of place
Loving these videos. Quick question, what model of Kobalt air compressor are you using and do you like it?
It’s a 60 gallon. I have had it for 5-6 years and hasn’t let me down yet!
@@austinniemela Right on. Thanks!!!!
whats that green transparent tape called?
Do they make this kit for a gen 2 taco. If they do. Do you have a link?
Have you tried the cerakote products ? They work great on rifle parts and are very durable.
Yes I have! It’s a very good product!
Powdercoat seems like a better way to go over a rattle can. How hard is it to get a good looking part compared to a rattle can?
Killer brake up grade. Can't wait to see what's next.
Could I do this to a mk5 (2004) hilux?
Beautiful tacoma project, always waiting for the next video 🔧⚙️
a 4runner rear disk setup would be pretty sweet too 👌

why doesnt 20:25 he powder coat the bolts?
Good day, Awesome videos!! Will this work on a toyota 4x4 pickup?
Did you paint the frame? If so what did you use?
Yes! I use napa chassis black or Eastwood chassis paint
What the rotors brand from Amazon
Will this fit 3rd gen 4RUNNER?
Yes it will!
Are those brand new oem calipers?
No they are aftermarket!
A little of conpressed air would have popped those pistons out without any effort or risk of damaging the piston with screwdrivers and pliers
Was just getting on here to say the same thing. 😂
I always leave a block of wood on the middle to prevent one piston from rocketing out before the others release.
Its hard to make things with one hand, great video 😀
you can pull out the pistons by air pressure ;)
Lovin the progress bro, good work.
What do you do for a living?
Everything you do is super clean!
There’s a guy on the forums that made a rear disc conversion kit using Shelby rotors
That’s attention to details 👌🏾
Educational and learning about late model toyota tacoma trucks I like
Brake hose clip installation upside down
And what toyoyota parts are so I can go buy them at toyota dealer
Another fantastic mod, excellent work sir!
Congrats on the sponsorship!
Thank you!
With the detail you're putting under the truck in places most won't see, do you have any plans for the paint on the truck? Man you put that second caliper together way faster! ;o)
So wear that masking tape not melt in oven under 400 temperature!!?
I work with UPS at PDX and we get entire airplanes full of Prismatic Powders and boy are they heavy
They look nice
Very nice job dude...i love it👍👍👍👌
Rats! I was all ready for you to be doing a drum to disc conversion on the rear axle. Updates on how the Kei truck is plowing??
Too funny, I saw my comment a couple times as you were scrolling back and forth.
Congrats on the 100k subs!!!
Thanks!
The clips are backwards
Nice job bro show with name replacement car parts details work on doing u r work
Good stuff right there
Love it!
Beautiful kit I wish I wasn’t broke
👍👍👍

man I really do enjoy your videos wow
Damit man you make me want to find a new first-gen ....mine is a rusted-out shit box!!
Nice work
you will be able to sell this truck for around 30grand when your done, easy.
I think I would go for 45k considering and see where it lands but yea 30k easy
@@donkeyrider Today's market, and 1st gen 4 door, you could be right.
The breaks are worth more then the truck
Nutty
Ahh my brand of bulbs aux beam
Powder coat some rims!!!
