Nope, I didn't do the rotors, and ended up not even doing the brake pads! I bought the pads and hardware (springs & pins) to do the brakes this last weekend. Well, I didn't get around to it until Sunday afternoon. I figured I was pretty safe buying the pads up front without inspecting the brakes - after all, I have nearly 80,000 on it, so that pads had to be getting rough. Boy was I wrong.

After pulling the wheel and taking off the caliper, I noticed the pads - and they were in remarkably good shape. I'm talking only about only about 1/16 was gone from the pad - a little more but not much. I took the ruler out because I couldn't believe my eyes. So after seeing that so little was off of the front, I put everything back together and inspected the back wheels (this time I checked BEFORE taking the caliper off :-). The back pads were the same - maybe a hair more off than the fronts, but not much.

Needless to say, I am extremely impressed with how well these brakes are wearing. I'm not exactly a Sunday driver. I would like to hear what others are experiencing with their brakes. I have heard from others that the FJ rear brakes have been wearing out faster than the fronts, which is why I checked mine. The way these things are wearing, I might not have to change my pads until 140,000!
