Tools for brakes on 2013 GX

I like doing my own repairs and would like to know what tools I’ll need to complete a full pad/rotor replacement for front and rear brakes on a 2013 GX460. Is there any differences if my GX does not have the rear air ride? Also anyone know the torque spec on the bolts? I believe the lug nuts are 83 lbs.

Also can we start a sticky for maintenance repairs? Doesn’t seem like there’s too many on here that do the work themselves. I hate paying 3-4 times the price for something I can do myself.

Also I’m attaching the recommended tire rotation as I had no idea what that looked. It’s interesting bc Jeeps recommend something different.

Second pic is how to reset the maintenance “data” reminder.

I haven't changed rotors yet. Personally wouldn't unless you're getting brake vibration or you've got quite a lot of miles.

Front Pads:

Rear Pads:

I believe it's part numbers:
04465-60320
04466-60140

You also might want to pick up new pad tabs, but I reused mine.

Pad grease:

If you don't have a torque wrench:

You'll need something to push back the calipers, either a pusher tool, c-clamp, channellocks, etc.

I used 83 ftlb for wheel lugs, 65 ftlbs for caliper slider bolts.
