Yeah, the brakes are pretty good. The previous owner recently replaced the fronts (pads and rotors) but bought a 4-wheel package, so I have spare rotors and pads for the rears when they wear out. They're slotted.
Speaking of rice, he also replaced the stock mufflers with magnaflows. They honestly sound pretty cool, but a little too noticeable for a realtormobile. I'll probably try to swap someone with stock exhaust. It also has a short-throw shifter which is the bee's knees. It also came with a weighted shift knob, which I took off.
I also got a spare set of wheels with winter tires. Summer tires are BFG KD's
Not sure if I'll sell them and get a set of all-season continentals or the like, or if I'll rock summer/winter mode. It's hard to justify when you've got a 4runner just sitting around.
