    Just last week I replaced the front pads & rotors on my 05' Taco. I did TRD front pads and OEM rotors. The brake system is working well, like 70% better than before. Replaced because the rotors had a lot of rust build up.

    i got the z36 towing package from rock auto because my calipers were stuck. i didn't notice an amazing difference, but it's a nice kit for cheap. there's also a mod to put tundra brakes on a taco that i learned about after i already upgraded. might look into that.
