Default Productive Weekend, Well at least for ME
Did pads and rotors on the Tacoma along with Rear Shocks. Front Brakes were down to squeakers, so I ordered Rotors from Rock Auto (Centric 125's) and got Pads from the Stealership. Thought about being lazy and take it to my guy, decided to save some money. My labor is free, and I've got tools.

Bought the Front and Rear Shocks awhile back and have been lazy. Did the rears today...going to farm out the front to my shop because I'm a ***** and terrified of springs and ball joints.

Anyway. Stops good and doesn't twerk like a 2 dollar tramp anymore.

Did the rears on my rig a couple weeks ago to find this...





I usually just find a mud hole to stop forward momentum

Yikes! I was just into the wear indicators on my pads, so I had a little bit of time.. 35k miles on the OEM equipment. Like you, I do a lot of mountain driving. Hard as hell on brakes for sure.

Yeah, it was odd. Usually the squealer tabs will let you know it's time to change'm out but these went from everything normal to grinding and it was only that one that wore out like that. Had to ride around for a week till I could pull them apart. All new pads and rotors on the rear now
