That would possibly cause a constant or speed-sensitive vibration, same as if the wheel was an issue. Since it only happens with braking, I'd put low odds on it.Could you be getting axle wrap due to the larger tires?
Now that I think about it thats probably whats happening.

Anything's possible, though, and stranger things have happened.

Doesn't that involve leaf springs? I have coil springs in the rear.Could you be getting axle wrap due to the larger tires?

It makes sense when you take your description into account.
When you hit the brakes hard it loads the springs and stops the shake,when you hit them lightly there's not enough force to flex the springs.
But when you use them normally it loads and releases the spring causing the shudder.

Whoops my bad. I could have sworn the 95 had leaf springs.
Back to the drawing board.
From what you are saying, it almost sounds like Toyota may have put too weak of a drive train in those vehicles. Uncommon for that company, since their stuff is usually rock-solid.After doing some searching this appears to be common with the second gen 4runners.
And I havent found any solid answers to the problem.
I've read everything from bad drums,bad axle bearings and even bad U-joints.

Have you checked your control arms?
If they are worn you'll get something that resembles axle wrap.

Be sure to tell us what it turns out to be.
btw, does the vibration pulse with the speed of the vehice, iow, is it a thump thump thump that gets faster or slower depending on how fast the vehicle is going when you depress the pedal?
