Great, although drilled and slotted rotors for offroad use are highly debated. Some choose to use slotted only rotors for offroad vehicles. Your choice, we have them too.
We on the other hand, have had great experience with drilled and slotted rotors on and off road. Keeping in mind most of your driving is on the road where you need superior braking power most.
Lots of info here; http://www.360performancerotors.com/
I'd suggest drilled and slotted all the way.

I have these rotors on my truck and couldn't be happier. We don't see tons of mud here in Colorado, but I just got back from Moab and I've been up and down the hills in the high country a lot lately. I've put them to good use, and they've been flawless. I also run a few other Jonesy's products and have nothing but good things to say about their offerings, customer service and communication.

Thanks!
Slots have a cleaning affect on the rotor surface and brake pad, so you could argue slots are better for mud than OE or OEM blanks. The mud doesn't have anywhere to go on a blank rotor.

We get these questions all the time;
Do drilled rotors crack? Should I use drilled rotors offroad?
360 Performance Rotors are cross drilled, not just "dimpled", for out gassing and water dissipation from the brake surface. Dimples are just small ressess on the rotor surface and do not provide anywhere for brake gas or water to go.
Additionally, 360 Performance rotors cross drilled holes are chamfered, which is a 45 degree angle machined on the holes outer edge to eliminate stress fractures from occurring.
And yes, you can use drilled rotors offroad without any side effects.
All said and done, if you aren't sure or are not convinced. Buy slotted only rotors. 360 Performance Slotted rotor slots terminate on the rotors edge, allowing for out gassing and water dissipation too.
Pick your poison, either way there are better options available for replacing your stock rotors.

I'm not a fan of drilled for a 4WD vehicle that's going to see dirt/sand/mud. Gunk can get caked up in the cross drills and wear the pads out way faster than normal. I also wouldn't use cross drilled period if the holes aren't chamfered (which I see the 360 rotors are). I just went cross drilled & slotted on all four corners of our Avalon with the Powerstop ceramic pads. That car stops on a dime now. Didn't help that the old rotors were so warped I could see it by eyeballing after I took them off.

Get slotted rotors then.
Got slotted on all four corners of the truck already
But I will need a new pair once I can get my hands on an 80 series rear axle....
Do you sell a kit with the emergency brake pads to?

My 91 is getting new brakes, can I pick these up at your shop and avoid shipping?
I would rather not spend $25 on shipping if I can just swing by and pick them up.
Thanx

Installed on my FJ80 - fit up perfect just like the OEMs I took off, stopped fine right out of the gate, and should get even better as they bed in. My truck does daily driver duty, so I'm on-road for most of my miles and drilled/slotted made sense
High heat paint on the hubs but, sorry, no love for the caliper yet (aside from the new pads), I'll rebuild/repaint calipers when I replace the lines.
