This is a review of using Power Stop's Z36 Truck & Tow rotors and pads.
2008 Land Cruiser
I installed these in Nov 2019 with 231,000 miles.
Today, the mileage is 299,580. I took photos this morning when I was at Discount Tire. I'll replace in the next week or two with the same kit. They are available from Amazon.
Where I've driven with these rotors and pads:
The rotors/pads have worked very well. There have been a few emergency situations such as when a truck pulling a double-wide mobile home swerved into my passing lane on I-80 in Iowa with zero notice, dealing with the Nascar insanity on I-70 in the CO mountains, city traffic in Dallas, Chicago, Kansas City, and Denver, and maybe the most important times of all are when I had to quickly slow down within 30 yards of encountering an exit ramp of the highway because family said they needed a pit stop. They worked great on the 4x4 trails. I will give God the credit for looking out for our safety.

Where I've driven with these rotors and pads:
- CO 4x4 trails.
- Both city and highway miles.
- Snow, mud, dirt, and all types of rain.
- The Cruiser has been unloaded to fully loaded and everything in between. Several times I've had bicycles on a rear-hitch carrier.
- I drive conservatively in the Cruiser. I only brake hard during emergencies.
- I coast into stops and down hills. I use the gear selector a lot to help slow down.
- In hot weather, I lightly pump the brakes.
- Tires: Yokohama Geolander A/T G015.
- Brake fluid: Prestone Dot 4.
- I've towed about 200 miles in this time, heaviest tow about 3k lbs. They were good enough.
- Not important, but I use my old rotors as wheel chocks.
