This is what I was thinking I would do. At some point I will replace the pads, but not for a long time. I don't mind getting my hands dirty. I brought it back to them twice and they told me what I was expecting to hear: "everything looks good. We don't know where the sound is coming from". When...

Yep. Rear pads are good. It’s pretty clearly coming from the front. Specifically the front passenger side. Never had something like this before

They definitely used OEM pads. This is a dealership I actually trust as I know the service advisor personally. I also have the paperwork stating the pads used. I'll pull them again this weekend and see what I can find. Like I said, the brakes work well, it's just an annoying sound.

I had new front calipers, pads and rotors installed ~5k miles ago. They were installed by the Toyota dealership near me and were problem free for ~4k miles. Recently, however, they've started to make a scraping (not quite metal on metal, but close) sound when coming to a stop at slow speeds. It...

It's insane. I got a quote from an independent shop in my town which included me bringing my own (Aisin) kit and it was ~$2k. DM'd you the info

FWIW I also live in the SF Bay Area (North Bay) and paid ~$1700 for a TB & WP job with bearings, etc last week. This was at a local Toyota dealership. I called a couple out of state dealers (Nevada, Oregon) out of curiosity and was quoted between $1600-$2200 for the same job. I had a local shop...

Not to derail the thread, but do you have a part number for the Duralast nozzles? I need to replace my OEM soon and an upgrade would be nice.

FWIW I'm getting my TB and WP along with pulleys and bracket done tomorrow for $1700 by a Toyota dealership in my area. I have 215k on my LC and while it's been 68k miles since it was last done (instead of the recommended 90k) it's also been 13 years. I'm getting ready for a couple road trips...

I had the exact same problem a couple months ago when I did my CV (Napa brand axles for what its' worth) and axle seals. Vibration at highway speed, goes away around 70 mph. I swapped my old CV axles back in and the problem went away. I ordered new OEM axles and seals shortly after but have yet...

This is what I was told by a couple shops in my area as well. I have the 16" wheels (2000 LC) and they are pretty rough. I was told they would be $275 per wheel to refinish. I love the OEM wheels, but at that price I opted for new wheels instead.

Adding this to my list of things to do. Thanks for the writeup

I was referring to the stock location in the US (under the back of the truck). Should have been more specific. I wish we had that swing out carrier here. That thing's super cool.

Anyone running a full size spare in the stock location with aftermarket wheels? If so, any issues or concerns about damaging the wheel?

Any rubbing? I'm considering these exact wheels and tires

Thanks for the response! That's +25? That's a lot more aggressive than I thought it would be. Thank you for the pic. Are you running 275/70r17? Sweet rig by the way. Those taillights are cool as hell
