Ur ride sounds sweet. What size r those Tacoma rotors? I need bigger rotors up front I have an 88 ram 50, I just pulled some 87 Toyota hubs bc of the 5 lug, which makes wheels much easier to find. I'm running a full street scraper with drop spindles and full air bag suspension. What I have done is put a 97 camaro rear axle w disc brakes in the rear, this will give me 11-12" rotor, depending on what I want to run. I am using this bc I put in a 2.6l station engine, completely street/ strip prepped with about 20-30 pounds of boost. Interior completely customized, w billet steering column. Will get pics on soon. About 85% complete.

The rings on the axles are turned down when they are redrilled.

grayarea: they are the same size as Mighty max rotors. The starion motor sound sweet, would like to do one of those if I could ever find one.

The place in California that is doing my motor has the station blocks for $500. The last engine I got was from a salvage yard n fla. I'm assuming the hubs from the 89+ was off of a normal Toyota pickup truck? I just pulled hubs from a 87 Toyota pick up and the inner and outer bearings are the same. I looked up the Tacoma at a parts store and it showed 10"or 11"rotors, thats why I was asking rotor size. I was hoping to find 12" rotors somewhere so I can use this 12" rear kit. Need rotor size to stop this 500 horse bullet. Lol. Any other research on rotor size that u know of?

Thx

Yea, they were just off a normal 89+ 2wd pickup. I didn't want to worry about going bigger right now just getting to 5-lug. the brakes stopped decently enough, so not sure on larger rotors or any of that yet

Its running and almost driving, should be driving it tomorrow. I still need to reattach my exhaust under the bed and install my driveshaft. I also need to figure out what is causing me to still have a small idle surge, other then that its good to go. Still needs some cleaning up and permanent mounting of some stuff but she's basically done for now.

Got a new all aluminum radiator for the truck, the old one was falling apart and I think leaking a little too. This one was $135 shipped, got it from sheperdautoparts.com , they are also on ebay for a little more depending on which truck you have. It is of pretty good quality and definitely cant complain for the price, everything fit like the OEM one also.

Finally got it registered again, so it is legit. Also painted my rims black, I think it looks better, changes the look of my truck a bit.

Thanks. Put it in without modifying any original equipment is only way to be able to smog it.
