Changing the brake pads for the first time on a 2006, should i buy a shim kit?

I have watched videos on YouTube on brake pad replacement but didn't see any mention of shims. Would I need to replace the shims when doing the brakes for the first time on a 2006?

 

I've done three pad jobs on the vehicles below and all pads either came with a shim kit, or the shims are built into the pad. Make sure you know what you are getting and don't add shims where they are not needed.

 

Thanks, I was going to replace the brake pads with OEM, would you know if OEM pads come with a kit or are built into the pads?

 

Dave, I just talked to the dealership parts department and was informed shims aren't included, so to be safe I will order them too.

 

That is correct, at least for my wife's 4wd TRD 4-door model.

 

Thanks, I just saved over $100 ordering 2-front rotors, brake pad kit, shims, clips, and pins. This being Cyber-Monday an extra 15% off this is the last day to order => https://www.tacomaworld.com/threads/toyota-parts-15-off-free-ship-over-85.579056/
