My brakes have worn down in only 14k so I had a set of TRD pads installed damn they have BIG grip on thinner rotors omg rivaling my Porsche in brake feel :zoom:
I know I know I should get more then 30k but I’m stuck in NYC traffic most of the time

Based on personal experience with TRD high performance pads, yes, they do stop amazingly well. Unfortunately, they also dust like crazy and last less than half as long as the OEM pads. Enjoy them while they last and find a good wheel cleaner.
 
Yeah I figured but my rims are black so not a problem :zoom:

they are great until your front calipers seize due to the road salt.. mine failed at like 5k, but i was getting ready to do a bbk, so i never warrantied mine.

Dust = better braking performance. Low dust = low wear = resistance to bite and brake. Just like performance tires. You can't have it both ways.

I'll have to look into these pads because I find the initial bite on my wife's 2020 ORP to be weak even after bedding them a few times.
 
Hey are these stock on the TRD Off Road ?

Just wondering, I have the TRD OR 2017.

My 4Runner brakes are OK but the most impressive I have had were on my BMW 740i.

My previous vehicle was an '03 PreRunner. I seem to recall a conversation with someone about someone about people who were replacing the rotors with Tundra rotors. The stock seemed to warp pretty easily presumably due to heat. (?)

Haha, don’t think brake pads are going to make you stop like you are in a BMW. The pads will feel like they grab better, while having a slight softer surface feel through the pedal that most probably don’t notice, but I do when I switch to ceramic. Regular pads will feel hard and require more effort.
 
Definitely not a stock issue pad bought mine on the great 40th anniversary sale I think I paid 120 for the 4
 
Do they fit stock Off Road calipers?


Everything TRD fits all models that I know of.

You can’t add a rear locker, which ATRAC makes a rather moot point.

You have to remember that our highest model Pro is basically slapped on after leaving the factory. $2600 for a Pro suspension and good tires makes a Pro for the most part. KDSS can’t be added without a lot of work. That’s about it.

Maybe a super T4R whiz kid can prove me wrong, but most everything goes on any 4Runner.
 
TRD Brake Pads Dual Piston Caliber 2000 4Runner

I have a 2000 4Runner that the previous owner upgraded the brakes to TRD dual piston slotted and drilled calibers. I am having trouble finding the pads for these? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
 
This is the 5th Gen forum - long after the 2000 model.

However, I assume you mean your rotors are slotted and drilled? The calipers are dual piston TRDs?

If so, stock TRD pads should work fine with the rotors. Lots of assumptions here: Are your calipers 2000 model TRDs? Not sure if they were/are different to newer ones. Any chance the TRD calipers changed over time and are now different? Different pads?
How old/mileage are the rotors? Time to replace?
