Powerbrake Big Brake Kit Install & Review on 5th Gen 4Runner 

I installed these in my pig too, I knew with alu cab fr/rear bumpers winch triple battery i was gonna need em. I dig em. I also swapped out rears with Powerstops and new rotors.

Dang I’m only half way through and I’m already impressed by your work ethic and attention to detail. I’m surprised you don’t have more subs.

Probably the most detailed video I've seen on this kit man! Great job.

When I'm done installing all the awesome upgrades (Bull bar, winch, lights, rear plate with tire carrier, lift, awning, and now apparently these brakes) my 4Runner is going to be worth as much as a Rolls Royce. But, you know, off roadish...

How the brakes holding up? Any pulsating? Hows pedal feel? Looking to do the upgrade on my 17' GX460. Would be great if you could do a 1 year update. Thanks.

At 17 minutes into the video I noticed, as you’re spinning the rotor, these are directional rotors and the cooling vanes are going in the wrong direction that’s why they’re slanted the way they are. That rotor should’ve gone on the other side (the drivers side) so as the car is going forward, it’s catching the air, yours is going backwards. I don’t know if you caught that. If you stop the video at 26:29 you can see if you were going down the road the vanes are not catching the air. Usually the rotors are marked left or right. Just for somebody looking to install these on their truck it’s easy to miss. Factory OEM rotors vanes are straight up and down but performance rotor vanes are slanted for extra cooling.

Nice install, excellent attention to detail, especially on the cleaning. You have to do it yourself if you want that level of cleaning.

I’ve been looking forward to this one. Especially since I lifted my 4Runner and added armor.

Those brakes looks so good bro!

That was fun Dude. Nice work!!!

Excellent brake down of this kit and installation!

They seem like a great upgrade, but for that kind of expense I wish there was something more empirical for comparison. All the explanations make sense but if someone did some before and after testing, that would really shed light on the value of the upgrade. Can you post an update after living with the breaks? Thanks for the detailed video! Cheers Mike

The real deal! Yes sir!

Assuming You’ve had the wheel spacers on for a little while, when you were spinning the rotor …. Was it smooth, no roughness? My point is maybe those wheel spacers aren’t as bad on the bearing as we are told to believe. Great job overall! Anyone who cleans and preps their work like you is A okay in my book!

HAH...Great video and I see that Coors light sitting up there on your front bumper! Cheers!

What do you think about powerstop break kits

Amazing brakes and better be for $2,675. Also, the link in the description is broken.

Very impressive! Although I'm surprised they didn't use an 8 piston being how heavy the 4 Runner is... And put a 4 or 6 piston out back... For 4 grand that would be a nice complete kit! Wonder if these guys will come out with rear setup next... Also question on the Rotor coating... Is it a geomet coated rotor? Because that is the only coating I'll use that holds up against oxidization and preventative rust corrosion...

Are the handheld wire brushes steel or brass

I have upgraded steel braided brake lines already installed. Do you have to use their brake lines?

what size tire are you running on this 4runner?

Nice video. You're very thorough. How are those brakes holding up? I thought about buying a set for my second gen Tacoma. Also let's say you have to replace the pads. Where do you buy them. All I see is that you have to buy a whole a brand new rotors and pads. Was just making sure before I buy it that you can actually buy pads although I don't see why you couldn't

Did you have to change to bigger wheels? I wanna see if they work with my 17s

But does it still fit in a 17 inch wheel inner barrel

Would this brake kit be a beneficial application to my 2019 Toyota Highlander?

YOU ARE INSANE! These Breaks are $2,675.00!

How did you order the race pads (red pads)

Balleur

Do these calipers stick out any further out then the stock ones? I have te37s on mine and the wheel is very close to the stock calipers

Tundra Brakes?

I'll be looking at adding these to my supercharged 23....but you lost me when I saw the spacers.
