Toyota Tacoma Gen 3 Power Stop Extreme Z36 Rotors and Ceramic Pads

In this video I go through the process of replacing the stock (worn out) pads and rotors on my 2018 Toyota Tacoma. I use the power stop cK15231DK-36 Z76 kit. This kit includes the components for the rear brakes as well. I only do the front brakes in this video but will probably cover the rear drum brakes in another video down the road.
I also hilariously take what is probably the most difficult path to compress the four pistons that these trucks have in their calipers (I make up for it with an explanation of the easiest and most efficient way to do it).

Thank you for posting. I’m adding a lot of weight to my 2018 with bigger bumpers and tires, and lift kit. I was worried about the breaks.

Did you notice a difference compared to factory brakes?

[@ExtremeDIYGuy]

Yes i did notice better breaking performance than the stock setup.
