Brakes? What miles did you change and what?

So I'm at 65k miles and beside the squeaking brakes has been great! They look to have about 1/4 left so I'll be changing them soon. At what milage did you change your brakes?

Also, what's good oem replacement brakes?

Thanks!

 

Changed mine at 50k

 

How was the brakes after you took the pads off? Worn down?

 

The front were pretty well worn. The rears were just fine.

 

Doing a full change with rotors or just change pads and check slides(clean and lubricate)?

 

So I usually just pad swap on the first change but I was on my way out for a 5k mile road trip with the family in the car and the new rotors were in the range of a 100 each so I just replaced them as well. The slides were in great shape so a little lube and they were good.

Now I will say that Toyota recommends replacement of the rotors with the pads.

 

Yeah if the rotors are still true then they should be good. I rather just change it all myself. (rotors and pads)
Going with oem Toyota or doing the aftermarket route? Centric and a few others do make rotors. (rockauto search)

 

I used the oem parts. No reason to change it out if it worked perfectly well.

 

As a rule (and I’m expecting the same for the tundra) when I do fronts the first is a pad swap, then pads/rotors.

rears I’ve never needed to do them at the first pad swap, but I usually do a rear pad swap @the second front pad/rotor.

I clean and lubricate the slides twice a year, spring and fall when I swapping out winter tires
