Gr8 Video again! We can't thank you enough Jamie, this is very helpful stuff for all LC200 owners.
Hi Jamie, i have been waiting for this video from you and its now my next diy project.
Your videos are always clear and precise and are a big help in my own maintenance schedule.
Thanks to Project 200 my only visit to the dealer is to buy genuine parts the labor is done by me thanks to your videos and a workshop manual.
Together. This has saved me thousands.
cheers Eric.
Just had my cruiser serviced and Toyota quoted $660 to machine front discs and install new pads on each corner. I bought DBA T2 slotted discs ( front only) and Bendix HD pads all round. Delivered $510. Installed them this afternoon using this video as a guide. It was so easy and although I haven’t driven further than a few km to bed them in, they already feel so much better. The proof will be towing my 24 foot boat. Thanks for the very helpful video 🍺🍺
Thanks for another excellent video Jamie! Clear, concise and thorough, again!
Interestingly, on my 2012 Cruiser, two of the front pads had metal tags on them, which DBA told me were mechanical wear indicators, to be fitted on the inside.
These videos have saved me a small fortune, and I know that the job has been done properly. Thanks again!
Another excellent video. This will be next on my list of must do items. i feel confident about doing this upgrade due to the well researched and easy to follow steps. Thanks and keep up the great work.
Great video, saved me a bit of time nutting it out myself. I had those DBA Rotors and pads on my shelf waiting after the dealer told me my brakes had 5 000Kms left 2 years ago, changed them out yesterday with about 10 000k left on them. I did it without the glasses, just done the safety squint.
Thank you for great vid! Waited for u to upload for a while, but its worth the wait!
Another great video Jamie, very informative and clear on what is required and how to do it. I'll be looking to do the same brake upgrade, including extended braided brake lines. I hope to produce similar videos to yours for people working on the 120 Series Landcruiser Prado.
Well done mate.
Good advice all around. Thank you for taking the time to put this valuable video together. Cheers!
Excellent info. I learned a heap even though I have a VE commodore. The principles would be similar. Thanks for taking the time and posting.
Thanks Jamie for all detailed videos, it would be great if you could make a video on how to change the front and back wheel bearings and maybe axles also. Thanks again and keep up the good work mate.
I really only do the videos when I need to do the job myself, so you might be waiting a while for that one. Hopefully!
Hi Jamie, replaced the disk brakes on my LC200 with the DBA T3 slotted rotors and Xtreme Performance brake pads as per your video, talk about chalk and cheese, what a difference.
Hi MrBellda. Can you please share experience. Do the slotted rotors cause any noise/ vibration when braking? Do you feel like they overstress the suspension due to the better bite?
Thank you for the in depth content!
Dba super brakes🤗
Great vid
Hi Jamie Just wondering if you are able to do a Video explaining a Cold scan on your injectors and explain the resalts on scan gauge, thanks for all the past video's very informative Cheers Michael
Hey guys!!love your diy attitude and vids, would love a vid on checking wheel bearings/greasing, if thats in the pipeline😮🙂🙂
Excellent video. Are you going to do one on your new tyres and wheels? I had MT ATZ P3s, but recently changed over to Nitto Trail Grappers MTs and I think they're much better. I have a '17 Hilux 4x4, so don't have full-time 4WD and the ATZ P3s were very sketchy in the wet, expecially after 45k kms. I know other people with Coopers ATs who complained of the same issue. I suspect the compound is hard for longevity. The Trail Grapplers by comparison are a much better on wet roads, however are wearing quicker. I plan to get Ridge Grapplers next, which I'm hoping will be a good compromise, so am keen to hear your review.
I probably won't do a video, but will do a bit of a comparison page between the two tyres. I have a Cape trip coming up, so will probably wait until after that so I can see how they perform in a variety of conditions. So far, they seem at least as good as the P3s everywhere, but are much quieter on the road. I never had a grip issue with the P3s in the wet, but that could have something to do with the weight of the vehicle. I've used tyres before that were totally different on a heavy Vs lighter vehicle. Might be the same for the P3s.
DBA Brakes💪💪💪
Greatly appreciate your informative and helpful videos. I'm wondering if pushing the pistons without releasing the bleed valve would cause a damage? if yes, is it reversible?
It shouldn't cause any damage. But it will push fluid back up the lines into the reservoir. This is bad for two reasons. First, the fluid in the caliper has been subject to a lot of heat cycles, and is more likely to be contaminated. Second, if the reservoir has been refilled it could overflow with all the extra fluid being pushed back up. Any problems can be solved by flushing all the fluid back out.
Please tell me the coca number (article) SST which drowns (dilutes) the brake pistons?
Hi Jamie, Great Informative videos, just had a couple of questions, With the DBA Brake Upgrade do they fit well fine under the 17” Wheels? Also when you went to 18” Wheels why did you change from 17”? Was it more because of the Nitto tyre sizes or looks just curious, in the process of looking at a 200 Landcruiser and can’t decide which way to go.
Hi Jamie, nice video as per usual. Are the new brake pads causing more brake dust than the originals? I would suspect so and also guess that they do not last as long as the originals??
They may be slightly dustier than the factory pads, but not by much. They've been on for 2 years now, and still have about 30-40% remaining on the fronts, and 60%+ on the rears.
اشكرك Thank you🇸🇦
How have they been? Have you replaced the pads? Did the rotors machine well?
Been told they warp and machining is more expensive with them and are not so good after. Eg new pads new rotors
Hi mate, Very happy with both the pads and the rotors. They are a little dusty, but that's a minor complaint. Have not had to change the pads yet, although the fronts won't be far off. I haven't had any issues with warping, and have not had to machine them so can't comment on that aspect.
@@austimages how many kms have you done it that time?
Thanks for your reply
@@ausguy4385 Roughly 50,000km
Another excellent video. Do you have a video on flush and replace brake fluid. Good work. Cheers, Michael
No, and I probably won't be doing one, sorry. My days of bleeding brakes are over!
G’day Jamie, just wondering if your going to do any paint protection ? Great video again of course 👍
No, I haven't got any plans to do any paint protection. I'm not convinced it's worth it long-term. If I were to do anything, I'd be more likely to do a wrap or something temporary like Rhino Hide.
How is the brake dust with those pads Jamie? Is it ok?
They seem to be about the same as the previous pads (factory on rear, Bendix on front). Although I changed wheels at around the same time, so that makes it a bit hard to pick a difference in dust levels.
WHY you don-t upgrate support-s (callipers for brembo) ?
Hi Jaime, why is my front brake pads on the inside is thicker (like new) and the outside is almost wear out. Is that normal for lc200?
There is sometimes a very minor difference, but there shouldn't;t be much. It could be that some of the pistons in the caliper have seized.
Very good
shouldn't be getting any grease on the side of the pads either. hope you cleaned it off but buy the looks of it you didn't, small things like that is why you should pay a mechanic to do it. payed all that money and time to be putting grease on you discs as they wear down not good.
The sides of the friction material were wiped off. Should have mentioned that in the video. Grease only remained/remains on the backing plate.
DBA supply the grease for fitting the pads. They should know!!
Do they have brake rotors for the back instead of disc rotors
How long do your suspension last ❓
It's been on there for over 100,000km now. Still working well. Tough Dog put the shocks/struts onto a shock dyno recently and they were still in-spec. I replaced the bushes and put them back on the car.
Hi I like the rims which rims r these
They are ROH Trophy. 18x9", +47mm offset
So you don’t need to bleed the brakes at all?
Not unless you're replacing the fluid
i have a question do they sell brake drums for 4wds as well
Rupert Rigg yeah. Sparesbox has em
Sound like a sponsor video or advertisement
ممتاز
Do they have brake drums as well?
The handbrake is a drum setup, housed within the rear disc rotors.
@@austimages I mean the brake rotors that SUVs like the 4runner surf has at the back
@@marc-anthonyrigg7212 Not sure what the 4-runner has, but the 200's rear brake rotors have a drum setup inside, which is the parking brake. The drums don't do anything other than the parking brake function.
@@austimages the surf and 4runner has drum rotors
👍🏼
🇸🇦
Bad job - you must change callipers (supports) on Brembo for 380-405 mm brake-disk diametr !
for front brake
for front brake
It's not a race car! The standard size rotors with 4-piston calipers are excellent for typical driving (and more). But yes, Brembo do make a 405mm/6-piston upgrade kit if you want to spend A$10,000 on them!
@@austimages
1. not 10 thousand dollars and only 2 thousand dollars
2. yes, not a racing car, but you still need to slow down, and at night on a bad road it is always emergency braking, on a mountain serpentine, in a city traffic jam, too, the regular brakes overheat and become wadded - there are not many brakes! And your solution with dba is a dead poultice!
Brembo Brakes on a Toyota Landcruiser. Lol too much mighty car mods mate.
