Just left the local dealership yesterday. Went in for just an oil change. 4 and a half hours later. Oil change is not done. My 2017 Tundra has 32k miles. They said that I need a new battery. $328. New pads, rotors and calipers, new front struts, rear shocks, TMPD sensors all around , cabin filter, and air filer. Grand total!!! $4384.00. Told them to stick it. My oil change cost me $148. Acton TOYOTA, OF Littleton MASS. Never have I heard such BS!!!
I always put some anti-seize on the surface of the wheel hub to help from rotor sticking next time.
Yes! And wire brush away the crust!
@@RoadPatina absolutely! That rust can cause havoc
Thanks for the video. Just changed my front breaks. Your video helped me out alot. Keep up the great work.
Awesome I am glad it helped! Get you some diy
I do not put any wood on top of lift. Just spray any undercoat if you worry about peel off.
Your life deserves way more
If you don't have a jack tall enough. Bust out the factory bottle jack. After you've extended your bigger jack. Use the bottle jack to raise it up another inch or so. Then use Jack's stands.
Good call!
@Road Patina I literally had to do that last week during my brake job. The 1.5 ton race jack wasn't gonna cut it.
Great video! Your truck is badass. I was thinking of getting the same rotors. How are they holding up. Any problems? Noises?
Not at all! Thanks!
Great job. I've got to do this soon.
Could you let us know what you torqued the caliper bolts and lug nuts at please?
I do not recall, just ask google!
Does it matter if the first clip goes on top or bottom mine had it on top
Awesome job! How are they holding up?
thanks! A little more dust than the OEM pads but ZERO vibrations!
@@RoadPatina having issues with my powerstop Z36's after only a year. looking to go with this setup you got here. and squeeking in the rear? also softpedal ?
@@Flipzco I did not see the best reviews on the z36 setup. Some people had issues. These seem to be doing great. Can’t wait to tow with them!
Z36’s are garbage in my experience. I do tow a bit, but they started to shimy bad at about 15k miles. Can’t remember what I tried next, but they’re not holding up that great either. Curious how many miles you’ve got on these rotors and hawk pads?
Honestly I didn’t notice a difference with stock pads versus hawk. I actually think the factory pads are better than hawk. They last 90k plus pending on your driving habits.
Hawks I had were loud until warmed up. Never had shudder with factory in both my tundras 08 and now 18
What did you torque the caliper brackets to? AllData says 133 ft*lbs and to replace the bolts. But that seems out of line with other information I have read.
Question. I got. Same tundra on 35s. Oem breaks wear out fast and always make noise even when new. Will your setup change anything for me? I wanted to do a big break system but can't find anything
BBK are super expensive and not always worth it. TRD may still make one. I would try stainless lines, pick a high quality rotor, and good pads from Hawk or EBC. Change the fluid and lube everything good on install. This should give about the best results, next to a BBK!
@@RoadPatina thank you

Have a '17 Tundra, tow my 5000 lbs boat about half the year and unfortunately, I'm also a hot breaker of the daily. Have 74K and put my second set of pads/rotors on last summer. I have a crazy shimmy now after about 8 months. Will this setup last me a bit longer?
They are doing well for me! I don’t tow very often, but used a similar setup on my old Tacoma and really helped towing dirt bikes and desert toys. OEM would fade and pulsate coming down the grade. Switched to Hawk pads, and new centric premium rotors and never got that fade or shimmy again.
Has the braking distance increased? Is this a upgrade for towing?
Distance feels less and less brake fade compared to oem. Not officially tested of course!
Nice job thanks
did you have to remove the wheel speed sensor ?
I don’t think so. Maybe if it needs to be moved out of harms way it does not hurt.
Hey man, how are these holding up 1 year later?
Really well! No shudder at all. Once and a while I get a slight squeak. May just need to relube the sliders.
You didn't have to bleed the brakes? That's what I hate the most about doing brake jobs.
No bleeding at all, just a few knuckles!
How those rotors working for you looking for some good ones
I am impressed. Last ones warped like crazy and these are smooth as silk after a few thousand miles!
@@RoadPatina can I ask you one more ? Did you find these on Amazon along with pads?
@@jamesburroughs7248 I bought everything on tirerack!
are u suppose to have break cylinder open?
I like to keep it open when compressing the caliper pistons. Just make sure it does not spill over!
Part#’s?
How have the brakes been working?
Holding up very well! Better than the oem pads and rotors. Still no vibrations after a few thousand miles. No towing feedback to report yet.
Sorry my friend, but you installed the rotor backwards. Many of these cross drilled or slotted rotor kits come with two of the same rotor rather than left/right directional rotors. The slots on the rotors are to be facing backward. Not forward. This is to help the gases from from brake pads during heavy braking to escape outward rather than the slots being forward facing as you installed them which would bring air and water into the contact surface of the pads and rotor. 🙏
FALSE! They were installed according to the manufacturers instructions.
@@RoadPatina The manufacturer is wrong. Go look at ANY well built rig. Sorry. Crappy company then.
Direction really makes no difference.
What kind of wheels are those? Size?
Check my other videos! 18” methods.
Curious as to what a mechanic would charge for this.
$450-$650 depending on shop / warranties included on parts and labor
Why didn't you want to just do all four to get it all perfect at one time?
Lazy and broke!
@@RoadPatina I feel you! Hopefully we will make it thru the next two years.
@@RoadPatinaI like your honesty.
how much would you sell your subaru ?
It’s not for sale, but everything has a price! It would have to be a lot of cash or a crazy NSX, Supra, GTR sort of trade.
Just picked up another one for the channel… stay tuned!
your rotor is on backwards
