Here at FROR, we have been looking into better braking options for the Tacoma SAS, 4Runner SAS, and the older truck crowd. Our goal was to offer a brake system with replacement parts that are readily available, easy to source, and with no specialty machining necessary on wear items. The Tacoma Brake Mounting Kit is the result of our research and development.

Just above on the left you can see a picture of the full assembly

If you’ve EVER gotten into a Toyota front axle, you'll love the ease of this teardown! Simply remove the 2 calipers bolts, and SLIP the rotor off! See the image just above on the right

Once the caliper and rotor are off, remove the locking hub dial, or drive flange cover, and the Birfield snap ring. Once the snap ring is off, you simply remove the spindle bolts. This is the chunk (pictured left) that comes off next. We refer to this as The Toyota Unit Bearing. At this point, you can pull your axle shaft, change a Birfield, or drop out a 3rd member. Notice, that no bearing has been touched!

Installation Notes:

• The difference in brake fittings (see pics). 95-04 Tacoma calipers have a banjo, and 96-02 4runners have 10mm inverted flare. We sell the brake lines to connect straight to the caliper as well.
• Knuckles must be swapped side to side, positioning the factory caliper mounting ears facing forward.
• Must use 86-95 IFS wheel hubs, and these must have the OD of the wheel mounting flange turned down for the Tacoma rotor to slip over, to about 6.680 diameter.

Features:

• Utilizes Tacoma or 4runner, fj cruiser, GX470, Tundra (6 lug)rotors (stock)
• Tacoma or 4runner, fj cruiser, GX470, Tundra (stock)
• '86-'95 IFS wheel hubs (these must have the OD turned down a bit)
• Accepts solid axle locking hubs or flanges
