Overview
Graphite Gray is the caliper finish on Baer Brakes part 4011002GG-2, a 6T front brake kit for 05-23 Toyota Tacoma trucks. The fixed, direct-mount six-piston caliper is built from CNC machined aluminum and mounts straight to the hub without a separate bracket bridge. The kit also carries a vented 1-piece rotor with a 13.5 inch outside diameter.
The caliper is a two-piece design with stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips. Staggered pistons help reduce uneven pad wear, and dual seals guard against dust, weather and pressure. The grade is performance and the friction material is semi-metallic.
Key features
- Six-piston 6T caliper in a fixed, direct-mount layout
- Two-piece caliper construction
- Staggered pistons for more even pad contact
- Stainless steel pistons, abutments and noise suppression clips
- Dual dust, weather and pressure seals
- Vented, slotted and zinc-plated 1-piece rotor
- Powder coated Graphite Gray caliper
- Brackets, stainless braided hoses and hardware in the package
Care and maintenance
Brake components need regular inspection once they are in service. Check the caliper for fluid leaks around seals and pistons, and look at the pads at each wheel removal. Keep the rotor surface clean of grease and road grime so the friction material bites evenly.
Braided hoses should be checked for chafing where they pass near suspension parts and frame edges. A soft pedal, uneven pad wear or pulling under braking points to a problem worth investigating before the next drive. Brake fluid absorbs moisture over time, so periodic fluid service helps the system respond predictably.
- Inspect caliper seals for leaks after installation
- Look for hose chafing near suspension travel
- Replace pads and rotor together when worn
- Change brake fluid on a regular service schedule

Vehicle fitment
Coverage runs to 05-23 Toyota Tacoma trucks with the kit on the front axle.
Pre-05 Tacoma generations and other Toyota models are not covered. Make sure your year, model and trim match before placing an order.
Installation notes
The braided hoses come sized for stock-height trucks, so a lifted Tacoma should have its hose lengths checked first. Test wheel clearance over the 6T caliper with the O080M template, keeping 17.0 inch as the minimum wheel diameter. Brake systems need careful setup, so a qualified technician should install and bleed this kit.
What’s included
The kit includes the 6T caliper, the 1-piece rotor, mounting brackets, braided hoses and hardware.
Not included: wheels, which need a 17.0 inch minimum diameter.
