Hi
I have a 1998 Tacoma 4x2, 2.4 engine, 5 lugs.
I have seen some kits for sale on line, but no one has ebrake for that year. since I have stick shift, I decide to build one for my self.
After doing some research about parts to fit on 5 logs 5 X 114.3, finally I got it done. I got rid of rear brake drums to a 11 inch rear disc with emergency brake calipers.
I had to design and cut the metal to do the bracket to hold the caliper on the differential housing.
plus do the drilling and rethread to center the rotor.
I have a 15 inch aluminum rims and fits right perfect. after months dedicating some time,
Now working on 6 logs with ebrake. conversion
I am very happy with results
Apologize for broken English

I understand you have rear brakes already. If you do, I recommend Wagners thermoquiet or OEX pads with rotor surface.
drum brakes in the rear now ,BBK for the front will come soon. 300 hp motor is on the bench and will go in in a couple weeks .
What size rims ? how big are the rotors ?
11 inch rotors
15 inch rims
You selling a kit for the brackets? Or putting the specs/blueprint online? What are the last numbers on the rotors and calipers

I was trying to sell the kit installed,
I never thought about sell as a kit .
The bracket is the most important part ,parking bake needs to be worked out as well.
