    Hardly anything... Stubby antenna and, well, that's it.
    Hi all, I'm Jim from Elk Grove, CA. I have had my 2013 Limited Tundra since 2015 and figured I would jump on here to see what all you Tundra veterans are doing. My main reason for joining is to learn what you folks are doing about the OEM brake rotors that are apparently made of tinfoil. I have pulled them off a few times to get them turned and they feel great for about 9 months. I think they will not have enough material to turn them again so I'm looking for an aftermarket substitute. I assume there are options that have a longer life than stock. What do you guys do?

    I'm currently running BlackHart cross drilled an slotted Rotter's with replacement pads fairly inexpensive but wish I went with a StopTech Kit due to my calipers were janky and all said and done I spent about the same or more on all the other parts than the StopTech kit.

    Welcome from LA (Lower Alabama)! I've seen a few mentions of aftermarket rotors that people have been happy with. I haven't had to deal with it yet myself though. Search for rotors on this site and you'll probably get all the answers you're looking for. Then you can hang around and share your experiences!

    Welcome. Many install cryo treated rotors, they resist warping. Stoptech makes some, so does Centric. If you do a google search you should be able to find them easily.

    also do a search here, upper right, there are several threads about brake upgrades with lots of good info.
