TRQ Front Brake Caliper Set Compatible with Toyota 4Runner FJ Cruiser

In this review of the TRQ Front Brake Caliper Set, the bottom line is simple: it is a straightforward OE replacement for owners of compatible Toyota pickups and SUVs who need a reliable, ready-to-install pair of front calipers. The reviewer found these calipers to be a direct fit for the listed years and casting, delivering a clean install with hardware included and no core charge hassles. For anyone seeking a value-conscious, long-lasting brake caliper replacement, this kit checks the essential boxes without unnecessary extras.

Key Features

• Direct Fit: Designed as an OE replacement so the calipers install without modification when matched to the vehicle casting number.
• Complete 2-Piece Kit: Includes both front driver and passenger side calipers so a single purchase completes the axle repair.
• Hardware Included: Comes with the necessary hardware and abutment kit to simplify installation and avoid separate parts sourcing.
• Corrosion Protection: Zinc coating provides long lasting rust prevention for components exposed to the elements.
• Durable Seals: EPDM seals enhance resistance to thermal deterioration, supporting longevity under braking heat cycles.
• No Core Charge: Supplied 100% new components so there is no core return required, saving time and potential fees.

Who It's For

This caliper set is best for owners of 2000-06 Toyota Tundra, 2003-05 4Runner, 2003-07 Sequoia, and 2007-14 FJ Cruiser models that match the caliper casting #13WL who want a direct OE-style replacement. Mechanics doing a front brake job on both sides at once will appreciate that the kit includes both driver and passenger calipers plus the hardware kit.

Drivers who prefer fully remanufactured units with manufacturer cores returned or those needing calipers for models outside the listed casting should look elsewhere. Also, if you require calipers pre-bled or with pads attached, this is a caliper-only kit and pads are not included.
