What do you use to lift your 4Runner? I need something more reliable the the little bottle jack.Looking at 12 ton jack stands and a 6 ton floor jack.Finally replaced my pads/rotors at 95,000 miles, very easy brake job! Honestly, they still had plenty of life left. Factory spec is 1mm of pad before replacement. The most worn pad was 3mm, the others had much more than that. The old rotors are in perfect shape too. I think I'll have them turned and save them for the 200,000 mile replacement, lol. Used all OEM brake parts- a FIRST for me! Nice to get some pedal travel back, but otherwise the new brakes feel exactly the same. Amazing, really.
I also replaced the wiper inserts and while I was under the wheel wells I noticed that my front sway bar end links are leaking grease. Guess I'll replace them next, but they should still be good for a little while.
Couple of pics showing the new vs old...

Harbor Freight 3-ton floor jack, and ancient jack stands that are built to hold the world up, lol.
I got to this point, now I have some choices to make...

Impressive brake life, that's awesome coming from what I'm used to. Can you confirm the part #'s here: http://www.toyota-4runner.org/5th-gen-t4rs/215622-diy-maintenance-quick-reference.html
Which light is that, I order a 22" SR Amber led over the weekend. Planning to put in the exact same spot.
You need the TRD Pro garnish now.
