Generation-One Tundra Front Brakes

[PaintRock]

Good afternoon all, I‘m getting some front brake vibration and it’s time to do the front brakes again. With a twenty-year-old rig that I’m about to put on the market, I don’t want to put a huge investment in, but I want a decent solution. I’ve narrowed it down to a Powerstop rotor and pad kit or a Wagner kit. Any experience with these? This is just for the fronts, the rears are still going strong and i just manually readjusted them. The price difference is negligible.

Hawk Pads, Frozen Rotors.

Put them on 3 1st gen tundras. My favorite combination.

The best and most economical BBK upgrade for the first gen Tundra is to do the GX460 brake conversion. You have to machine a bit off of the GX460 calipers but otherwise everything else fits. There a few FGT owners that can do professional machining of the GX calipers. I'd join the First Gen Tundra owners group on FB and look for Geoffrey Beers (also known as the Yota tech and works at Agility Customs in SLC) or Jim Smola. They both offer machining services.
