BTW anyone else get a recall notice for" TRD High Performance brake kit accessory for 2007 to 2012 FJ "

in the mail from Toyota last December?

Apparently the TRD 6 spoke wheel ( the one I have as stock, hence the recall notice) does not have enough clearance for the brake crossover tube. Failures have occured with the aftermarket TRD brake on these wheels.

The letter notes, "if you have the red caliper TRD brakes REGARDLESS OF WHEEL SIZE, contact your dealer"

Oooops.

I've yet to find a time where I felt like the stock brakes weren't up to the job.

Me 2. Except when pulling a heavy trailer, but that's what trailer brakes are for.

I picked up some drilled and slotted rotors for a couple hundo and added ceramic pads.  Holy stopping power Batman!  The rear rotors are a bitch to change but doable once you know what to do.
