Thread: Hilux brakes

Anyone had issues with rotors on the sheep shaggers . 2013 model ? . Getting sorted by warranty but its second time it's happened 40k on clock .

Manual or auto? I've done a few, and it always tends to be the autos that warp rotors.

I am a brake and clutch specialist here in Taupo, shall we just say they are good for business.

@Munsey, I'd be throwing on a decent set of aftermarkets on, drilled and slotted, that's what I did with my sheepshagger when I had it, and what a difference it made. Never touched them again in the time I had it.

Yeah I'd try to drive it on the box a bit more. You're overheating the rotors i'd say. Avoid puddles, and if you've got the brakes hot try to do a bit of gentle driving to let the rotors cool a bit more uniformly. Getting them really hot then parking up is no good, the pads will insulate a section while the rest cool at a different rate.

haha avoid puddles... might aswell drive a corolla

Hilux breaks. No surprises there.

Never had dramas with the discs on my three, but there were all manuals & I'm not "All Gas & Brakes"

I had better be careful what I say though, I will be towing something for a change this weekend as well as carrying, she will be heavy, as well as up & down hills

Na that barely even counts,a wee garden trailer with a quad on it .
I have had it rounded up with 16mm agg.....took a bit of stopping

My brakes on a 2013 are OK except they often make a hell of a squeal when reversing. Have read this was an issue fixed under warranty but not due for the next service for a while. Anyone tried getting them fixed for this noise under warranty?

Plus 1 except the drilled tend to crack between holes. I had drilled rotors on my old v8 and they cracked so replaced them with slotted only

Slotted is all you need. Can handle the heat longer just brake fade sooner if your really pushing it
