    is this what you'd expect from a 10 year old truck with original brakes at 117K miles?

    good effing lord, remind me NEVER to buy a truck in a salty area. That looks HORRIBLE.

    1. brake caliper leaking fluid
    2. brake pad contact is MINIMAL, it should extend the full surface (or just about) of the rotor

    @TnShooter - Frame replaced this year... 4 months for them to do (sea of tacomas, frames stacked high, one technician, 3.5 days per truck). Looks nice! No body rust, so looking to keep the truck.

    @nd4spdbh - PB Blaster, not brake fluid for caliper replacement. They are stock calipers, so not sure about the contact area. Could be why I want better brakes?

    are those the new calipers in the picture?

    Also looks like your pads arent even touching the outer 1/4+in of rotor... thats ALOT of surface area not to be using.

    Brakes are shot, caliper is possibly frozen and brake fluid is leaking. For original brakes on a 10 year old truck with that mileage in a salt prone area though, you did pretty well. Time for a brake job though!

    Yup....replace rotors and calipers. Those pads aren't biting properly.
    Background stuff looks decent.
    Cheers, Jeff

    Yeah, that’s what I was talking about, they’re spreading stuff that eats your truck away.

    I'm in TN and my rotors looked almost as bad. I pulled them, sanded the rust off with a flap wheel and angle grinder, soaked the rotors in evaporust for a few days, and changed the pads. The rust is taking over the rotor and eating up the pads. And no, I did not sand deep into the rotors and warp them; I just removed the perimeter rust with a 4.5" flap wheel and finished them with a 2" sanding disc on a rt angle die grinder.

    No - its not brake fluid, but PB Blaster so I can pull the caliper bolts. Yes, the caliper piston has been "sticky" for a while. Toyota service technician says it is common for the left side to have this issue. Must be a manufacturing issue.

    Plus, the salt water and air is not kind. Major rust happened when I was parking the truck by Plymouth bay over a two year period. Luckily, Toyota replaced the frame and the body panels survived.

    North of you a bit, I'm on my third set of calipers and rotors on my '05. The current set will look like your pics i a few years, one piston may already be sticking a bit. 10 years is huge!

    Does anyone know if Cryogenic treated rotors are rust resistant?
    Does anyone know if electrostatic coated calipers are rust resistant?

    I will be doing mine shortly.
