The TRD Big Brake Kit offers improved braking performance, reduced brake fade during high-demand situations, and a sportier look. It enhances the vehicle's stopping power and provides a more responsive braking feel.
Basic tools required include a jack and jack stands, a lug wrench, a torque wrench, a brake bleeder kit, and standard hand tools like sockets and wrenches. It's also advisable to have a brake cleaner and protective gloves.
Brake fluid should be checked regularly, at least every 6 months, and replaced every 2 years or as specified in your vehicle's maintenance schedule to ensure optimal braking performance.
While it's not strictly necessary to upgrade wheels or tires, ensure that your current wheels provide enough clearance for the larger brake components. Some aftermarket wheels may be needed for adequate fitment.
Check for air in the brake lines and bleed the brakes if necessary. Ensure that all components are properly installed and torqued to specifications. Verify that the brake fluid is at the correct level and is not contaminated.
While a skilled DIY enthusiast can install the kit, due to the complexity and importance of brake systems, professional installation is recommended to ensure safety and proper functionality.
Regular inspections should be carried out to check for wear and tear on brake pads and rotors. Ensure that brake fluid levels are adequate and inspect for any leaks or damage in the brake lines.
Regularly inspect the brake components for debris and clean them as needed. Ensure that all fittings are tight and that the brake pads and rotors are free from excessive dirt or mud build-up.
Signs include reduced braking efficiency, unusual noises during braking, visible wear on the rotors or pads, and any noticeable vibrations or pulling to one side when braking.
The TRD Big Brake Kit is designed to be compatible with the 2007 FJ Cruiser. However, ensure that all components are original or approved parts to avoid any compatibility issues.
