Im running these and thought nothing of them UNTIL descending the Rockies, big horns and grand Tetons. They work for real.

The cost was a factor but safety is more important. I have a new Tacoma with a pop up camper on the back. Camper weighs 932 lbs. and more stuff will be added. Stock brakes will over heat so by upgrading, I’m assured I’ll be able to stop not only In traffic but coming down big grades on pavement and in the backcountry. Great how to video 👍🏼

Thank you very much! It is definitely not the most exciting upgrade for the money, but it is nice that it upgrades performance and safety. I think you qill be happy with the performance improvement. Thanks for watching!

I have to agree. When i load my 4runner up with 5 people plus luggages and going out of town the brakes doesnt seem to work as good.

I’ve been eyeing on these Powerbrake kits for 2018 Tacoma trd off-road 4x4. My concern is that I don’t run spacer on the wheel, I have 17x8.50 0 offset on. Will it fit stock hub? Really nice upgrade on the rig though

I cannot say with absolute certainty, but I believe you will be fine. I might pose that question to Powerbrake before you purchase just to be safe. Thank you for watching!

The website has an option for 4th gen, but there is not an option for the 3rd gen unfortunately. Might be worth reaching out though, they might still have something!

I'm curious about how well they handle corrosion with age 🤔, aluminum develops alot of pitting while the steels just rust over. Can't decide if I want to drop the money on them yet 😩 thinking about longevity of them vs other big brake kits
@loganpartyof4runner Жыл бұрын
So far mine are fine, and I have not heard of any durability issues, and I feel like they would handle any issues well if they were brought to light. I feel ya though, it's a big investment and you want them to last a long time.

Hows the upgrade doing 9 months later
@loganpartyof4runner Жыл бұрын
They are doing fantastic! I just did a bunch of work on the truck and was paying close attention to the pad wear. There are tons of thickness still on the pads, there is no grooving of the rotors, and no warping and shimmying when applying the brakes, which is a problem I have had with every other rotor I have used. They seem to be good as new!
@InGratitudeIam Жыл бұрын
After how many pounds of additional weight are stock brakes no longer advisable?
@loganpartyof4runner Жыл бұрын
That is a good question, and I don't know if there is a definitive answer, but I will answer it the best I can. The dry weight of a 5th gen 4runner is 4805lbs, and a gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR) of 6300lbs., so they are allowing for 1495 of payload on the vehicle. Though it is not advisable to exceed GVWR, truthfully a lot of "overlanders" do between gear and passengers. The closer you get to that GVWR on a consistent basis, the more you will likely notice longer braking distances and hotter brakes (which leads to warped rotors) quicker than you might experience in a smaller car with normal payloads. If you are noticing reduced braking efficiency due to consistent payload or towing, I think you should consider these. Hope this helps!

Love the set up but damn they’re expensive
@loganpartyof4runner Жыл бұрын
They sure are! I had a hard time with it too, until I thought about the added safety they gave to the vehicle, which helped pay that price. Not too many mods really increase the safety of the vehicle for you and your family. So far, they are still doing great!

How's is the wear pattern? Does the break cover the hole rotor? I purchased wildwood and the break does not cover the whole rotor which is irritating. Oh and what rim size are you running
@loganpartyof4runner Жыл бұрын
So far, they are wearing just fine, and yes, the pad covers the whole rotor. My wheels are 17x8.5in. Thanks for watching.

Yes, the price was had to swallow. They are performing great so far and are a noticeable upgrade. Hopefully longer lasting components will help ofset the cost in the long run too. Time will tell. Thanks for watching!
