Hi Motorhead Lawyer,

I don't see anywhere where I've blamed anyone for anything, least of all
Toyota. Besides, I already bought the rotors and pads from the recommended
Internet Toyota dealeship. I'm just waiting for them to arrive.

Why would I blame Toyota for the first major repair in the life of the
4Runner, after over 8 years and 50,000 miles? The only other repair this
1998 4Runner has had was the driver door lock broke which took all of a few
hours a few weeks ago to replace. (I wish the manual had better
instructions, but this Toyota newsgroup walked me through the whole
process.)

I hope I didn't mislead anyone how can I blame Toyota for making an
absolutely fantastic braking system where the pads can be removed for
examination without removing a single bolt! Even after 8 years and 50K
miles, my 4Runner still on its first set of pads and the wear groove in
each is still deep. This 4Runner is a dream to work on.

I'm only sorry my Toyota 4Runner doesn't break down more often so I can get
a better chance to learn and admire how well it's built!
