I need new brakes

Shop by part number in google, it is the most effective way. Try the google shopping tab, sort by price plus shipping, lowest first. But do not limit yourself to that as it is sponsored adds only. That said, that site often is among the best pricing.

Threshold brake, let off, turn..or die


This truck was the first vehicle ive owned that had abs. I hated it from the first ATTEMPT at emergency stopping lol. I was expecting to scrub speed alot faster and then cut the wheel if needed while letting off the pedal. Oh no, this squirrel went at the brake pedal with his sledge hammer and i had to cut the wheel at a higher speed.

That was on dry pavement... I think u and i both discussed our offroad/off cliff scenarios already.

 

Yes, there is usually a way to check on better brake parts where they have cast in identification numbers. But at this point, I don't think it matters. As for your rear brakes, if you have less than 150,000 miles on them, they're probably fine. They seem to last forever on Tacomas.

 

So yeah. I did basically find the same parts on Amazon for a little more money but Prime shipping... Basically, Amazon and Olathe are roughly the same price "shipped" to my door.. only Amazon is probably far faster.

Here's the thing though. I don't know if I trust a random seller on Amazon to actually send me "OEM Rotors".. even if the part # matches exactly. So I'm thinking I'll just order from Olathe, know it's coming right from Toyota, and fix my brakes next week.

 

I feel ya, brakes are a little important
