I Think They Got It Right

69,000 miles next week, on Clyde the Ride, so I thought it time for a peek at the brakes. The Dakota would be getting ready for the fourth set of pads by now, so I was getting a tad skittish because I do not want to be replacing rotors on the Tundra's more sophistocated system.



So I went to the bargin bin at the parts emporium and bought a 2-pack with the telescoping pick-up magnet and a telescoping brake-pad checking mirror.



My mechanic Dex, told me that Toyota finally figured out the formula for high mileage brake pads. Looks like he is right. The pads are a bit south of half gone. I am stunned!

I wonder how long they'll last.



And I didn't even get my knees dirty.



I'm getting to like this Tundra.
