    looks good. I have heard of TRD (or trd pro) brake pads vs OEM ones. Have you tried them ? My buddy swears by them but I don't know if he is full of it..lol

    I may need to get some rotors. Flipped mine last summer, now getting some vibration when braking at high speeds. Any recommends on rotors/pads that would fare better/longer on our trucks?

    Not looking to pay out the ass either LOL

    Bud, gotta say I'm loving your truck build progress!! :bowdown::bowdown::bowdown:

    I can't imagine that they would have much difference in stopping power or give you less gasses, dust and prolonged life. I may swap out and see if there is a difference once these pads need changing. You may not have heard of these but Project Mu is a JDM company that I used to run on some of the cars I built back in the day. They have many stages but the most common ones are the B-Force and NS Series pads. However, JDM stuff just takes forever to get and I just cant afford the wait time. Wait time is usually 90 days on parts like that

    Check em out: http://www.project-mu.co.jp/en/

    Might be hard to navigate but its in there for our Tundras :thumbsup:

    I really like these Power Stop units. I've haven't had the best of luck with the pads and how they wear which seems to has inconsistencies, hence the reason I went with the OEM pads.

    Appreciate the love Law!:hattip: I'm anxious to see where your build journey takes you on your rig too man!

    Update: Bypasses are almost here! Shipping date is 4/14/17 so in the meantime to keep this project going; I'm doing the Powerstop front rotor w/ OEM pad upgrade. The old set has been on since the day it left the lot new in 5 years and I feel the thumping in them when I'd stop abruptly. This should get Hattori stopping on a half dollar now lol

    This is what jumping got me. Had this light metal on metal sound coming from under the truck and bam, carrier bearing SHOT! While it was flexing back and forth the ears on the rear side on the drive shaft were digging into the companion flange. So dropped it off of Drive Train Of Mesquite for them to replace all of the U-Joints, install the new carrier, chop off and replace the ears on the rear and install a new companion flange. So before I go launching Hattori again ill need to install a DS limiting strap and possibly carrier spacers

    It was a great investment. Plus it needed it. Definitely wish it could have went towards the bed cage but it's all good
