Gents, both good links. My issue is that the brakes worked fine up to this failure. After the repair, I don't feel that the brakes are back to 100% (compared to before changing the LSPV). I don't think doing the Tundra brake swap is required at this point for my rig. It may be that the rotors are glazed over although they did not appear to be when I inspected them. I was mostly currious if you guys with heavier rigs and larger tires could lock up the wheels on your Tacoma?

I have on occasion, while driving on the freeway, lock up the brakes due to sudden stops up ahead. They do lock up... but I had to stand on it.

Thanks!

Desertdude,
If I recall correctly you are running 255/85 tires with steel wheels on your Tacoma, correct? Thanks for the info. I did a few tests going about 30 MPG and standing on the brake pedal. I was not able to lock them. I was able to before this last brake caper!

yes on tires size and wheels. I am on my second set of pads and rotors @ 74K :smiley_drive:
