My view for the next two weeks. View attachment 34529
It’s a thought 5 year plan so lots of planning and modding.5.0 coyote?
Be a good time with one of those.
Probably doing the 5.0 motor tranny and rear end. All ready got some matching accessories cause “you gots to cordinate”.Musta had a Kim in the past, eh?
I woulda named it Lindsey, in that case. Full on cray cray.
This year I'm going to go get license plates for the vehicles. Rodeo is gonna get Blanche, truck gets Dorothy. We're golden girls fans.
Engine being a 5.0, would go well with a 6r80 auto, if it'll fit. Could snag a complete donor with ECU and harness. Makes life easy.
What's the plan for the rear diff? Narrowed 9"? Those are getting tough to find.
Could snag a live axle rear end from a stang?
Retrofitting an IRS system in there might be a bastard, although Miatas have an aftermarket like a Cummins.
Did the 14WA break up grade on my son’s 2005 taco. Calipers , rotors of a 2014 4runner. We found a bad hub so replaced them both.

The rotors are bigger and thicker. The calipers are also bigger and so are the pistons.
I got the break hardware parts from Amazon. I also ordered extended break lines from YotaMafia. Every thing went on without a hitch. I am also going to do this on my 4Runner so I’ll post up more pictures and a better write up. Time was of the essence on the Tacoma. We got it all done in one day and adjusted the E break and the drum breaks.
When I do this on my 4Runner I’ll do some before and after stop test to verify if it helps or if I just shit another $400+ down the toilet.
When we went to bead the breaks when we stood on the pedal the tires 33’s where squealing just shy of locking up without activating the abs. I’ve never had that truck do that. To add to that last time we did breaks and beaded them it did not have a bed rack and a RTT on it. I am going to do a before and after with my 4Runner. I think it will help with both fade and stopping distance.Looks mostly like a swept area and venting upgrade.
Won't stop any faster, unless the old calipers were single piston. Stopping distances are 75% tires.
But it'll take longer to see brake fade, at least.

I has the 17 rounds rounds. So it all fits.5th gen runner brakes on a 2nd Gen Tacoma or 4th Gen 4runner is akin to a big brake upgrade. Disc and pistons are both bigger and stronger. It's a huge upgrade. Problem is most of them came with 16" wheels and the upgrade requires 17".
