    Can I test drive your 2nd gen TRD-OR? Preferably a 2012-2015. A toodle around a parking lot would be all I am asking. I just want to feel what the brakes are like.

    I think my brakes on my '13 OR are acting really grabby but everyone thinks they are normal. I feel like I am crazy.

    I don't live near you but my '13 OR brakes seem grabby too, nose dives a bit much for my liking..
    Then I realized most of this is from the shocks being worn..

    Mine are fine up until a particular pedal position, then it's like I jammed on the brakes. I have a theory that the booster pump is engaging at that point and increasing brake power without my foot pressing harder. I just want to try and confirm that mine is normal or not by driving another truck.

    Does it matter if I also have the 6-piston Stoptech upgraded big brake kit? If not, you can stop by and slam on my brakes.

    I'd much prefer stock brakes to rule out any variables.

    If I had stop techs on my truck I feel like I would fly through the windshield. If I am not careful with the force and speed I apply my brakes I lock up my 35s.
