A previous test from the person who made these showed that the added leverage was needed in order to firmly engage the Mustang Cobra calipers. I agree too, since it is not possible to lock up the rears with this configuration at all. Good question and thanks for watching 👍
I'm not super familiar with that setup. From my understanding, the 3rd Gen 4Runner and 1st Gen Taco have the same rear axle, though the Taco has leaf springs. I'm pretty sure the disc brakes will work but there would need to be a different e-brake setup.
My butt dyno tells me that it's more solid then before but that's obviously anecdotal. I've not tried it in the rain/slick as of yet though to see if the ABS is still functioning and/or reacts differently. Thanks for checking out the video👍👍🍺
Honest answer is that it is very subjective. It was worth it to me but there's been much debate on whether reengineering what Toyota did from the factory is necessary or worth it. I'm sorry if that doesn't fully answer your question.
That's a good idea! I originally planned on doing a before and after, but never had a chance to do the before with everything going on in the world (excuses). Thanks for checking out the video!
You'll need to PM the OP of that post on T4R.org from the link. I believe he's on deployment, but there has been discussion of someone taking over his production. Supplies are very limited on these. Thanks for checking out the video👍🍺
Dude you should have more subscribers.
All 3rd gen owners should follow you.
Very detailed as always 👍
I appreciate the sentiment. I wished I'd have started RUclips before building most of my rig. Now I'm onto the new build of the '66 Rambler🍺👍
Why the pulley? Why not connect directly to the double connector? The leverage would be the same since the pulley is on the fulcrum side of lever?

Hi WWT. Great vid! I really want tat set up. Do you think there is any way this could work with a Taco dash-pull style e-brake?

So everything together, Rotors, calipers, e-brake, the whole 9yards. How much are we talking?
Thanks for checking out the video 👍 I think overall, I was about $700 into it, including gear oil, and seals and bearings. Cheers🍺🍺🍺
Where do you purchase the kit from ?
There's a link in the description, but these are hard to come by now. The original guy who was making them is no longer doing it. Thanks for watching!
Nice job engineering this setup, any chance in purchasing a kit?
You can put in a request at that link in the description. I know they've been going fast!! Thanks for watching👍👍
@@WeekendWrenchTurner Hi, I tried that first but no reply...I could send info, I currently have the Cobra calipers already
I know the maker/designer may be on deployment, so it could be a while before he replies.
Have you noticed any difference in braking at all?
My butt dyno tells me that it's more solid then before but that's obviously anecdotal. I've not tried it in the rain/slick as of yet though to see if the ABS is still functioning and/or reacts differently. Thanks for checking out the video👍👍🍺
@@WeekendWrenchTurner Is it worth the $700 plus my labor to do it?

Great in depth video! Any chance of a review once you get some miles on her?
That's a good idea! I originally planned on doing a before and after, but never had a chance to do the before with everything going on in the world (excuses). Thanks for checking out the video!
How do i buy this kit i saw the link but i see no where to buy it

There is a link in the description to the forum post that has the information you're looking for. Thanks for checking out the video🍺🍺
Gotta stop with the "hey kids" in my opinion, other than that, great videos.
Lol, always trying to figure out the tagline. Thanks for the input sir and thanks for watching 👍
