Overview
The Baer Brakes 31267-020 is a front Claw performance brake rotor set for the 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra and the 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia. Baer makes it as a direct replacement, so each rotor is meant to fit where the factory front rotor sits and take its place in the braking system.
Each rotor is a one-piece, full cast iron disc with a cross-drilled and slotted friction face. The slots and drilled holes let gases and dust escape from between the pad and rotor during braking, which supports a more consistent pedal feel and reduced brake fade. The zinc-plated finish looks bright through open-center wheels.
Key features
- Slots and drilled holes are meant to clear gases and dust from the pad-to-rotor contact area during braking.
- Enhanced vane structure, which Baer describes as improving cooling and durability under heavy braking.
- Premium, mill balanced design built as a direct replacement rotor.
- Chamfered drill holes, intended to reduce stress cracking around each hole.
- Zinc-plated disc finish for a bright look through open-center wheels.
Pad and rotor pairing
Rotor life depends a lot on the pads that run against it. Harder pads can glaze a slotted face sooner, while a pad matched to the rotor’s material and typical use tends to bed in more evenly. Replacing pads at the same time as the rotors helps the friction surfaces wear together. When inspecting the old rotor, look for deep grooving, a raised lip at the outer edge, blue discoloration from overheating, and pulsation through the pedal. Any of these suggests the disc has reached its wear limit or has been overheated.
Front brakes do most of the work on a truck this size, so front pad wear and caliper slide condition are worth checking before the new rotors go on. Clean the hub face and remove any rust so the rotor sits flat, then torque the lug nuts in a star pattern. Re-check them after the first short drive, since they can settle slightly as the mounting surfaces seat.
- Pad material matched to how the truck is driven
- Hub face cleaned before mounting
- Lug nuts torqued in a star pattern
- Old rotor checked for lip and grooves

Vehicle fitment
Fits the front position of the 2000-2006 Toyota Tundra and the 2001-2007 Toyota Sequoia, with RWD and 4WD drive.
Toyota models outside the Tundra and Sequoia, such as the Tacoma and 4Runner, are not on this list. Confirm your vehicle’s year, model and trim before ordering.
Installation notes
Baer lists these as direct replacement rotors, so they install in place of the factory fronts. The brake surface is directional, so check the orientation of each rotor before it goes on. Brake work changes stopping performance, so have the pair installed and tested by a qualified technician.
What’s included
A set of two front brake rotors sold as a pair. It does not include an ABS tone ring.
Not included: Brake pads and other hardware are not included.
