I know all the rage is to swap to Tundra rotors and calipers- BUT, I've had great success with good domestic rotors and the upgraded brake pad from Toyota. A buddy of mine looked up my 98 4Runner Limited (16" wheels) on Mitchell OnLine and said there was a suggested Toyota brake pad that addressed rotor warping. I ordered the pads from CruiserDan at American Toyota, replaced the warped rotors under warranty from Advance AutoParts, installed the new pads, 22,000 miles ago, towed trailers, highway driving, etc. No warping now!

I'm sure the Tundra upgrade fixes the problem, but so does the less expensive, less laborious solution listed above.

My $.02.
