    "warped rotors", or my brake woes

    I'm well aware what "warped" rotors actually are. Why else would I put warped in quotation marks.... maybe you are the one jumping to conclusions. that's one of the reasons why I am so confused that the rotors are actually warped to the point where they can't turn them, it is 99% of the time...

    "warped rotors", or my brake woes

    Not sure what the deal is with this vehicle ('07 SR5, 4x4, 4.0l). we have had the vehicle since 55k mi on it, it now has 103k. within that time I have replaced the front brakes pads/rotors/calipers at least twice, maybe three times. Once or twice with advance auto "gold" and once with all OEM...

    different brand spare tire

    I just replaced all 4 tires on my 4runner with some conti's. I have a 1/2-3/4 worn Dunlop on my spare, same size. how finicky is the 4wd on these? I know on an AWD system (like the V8) its not a good idea, but my V6 is open/open right? its going to be used as a spare, but sometimes on long...

    Brakes still uneven/pulsing

    you didn't replace the calipers? my gut is telling me that the problem would just return if the calipers were sticking in the rear causing this in the first place. or is something else causing this?

    Brake pad options

    And I never said you could tell that there was brake pad build-up on the rotor by looking at them or feeling them now did I. you used the very general term "warped rotors", I didn't, but if you know the rotors don't warp, you shouldn't use that terminology. i have not heard anyone in the...

    I never change my oil filters- part 2 with PICS

    Frame extra-guard are decent filters. I believe BITOG rated them to be fine. or was it tough-guard?
