How many miles before brake replacement?

[Cyclrder]

I replaced mine at 35K (2020 Rubicon… NYC and 240 mile hwy weekend runs)… I could have gone further but prefer fresh feeling brakes.

If you have a BLD and/or use Hill Decent Control a lot YMMV

Just changed the brakes on my DD after 100k miles, should have done them a year ago though. But I see morons driving with their foot resting on the brake. They will have to replace them much sooner.

If you're not getting a minimum of one hundred thousand miles on your brake pads you need to learn how to drive

I don't know the answer, but having 38" tires, I will be going with a big brake kit.
They're not cheap, but neither is human lives.
The one I'm eyeballing is about $2500.
Forgot the name, have it saved in my bookmarks.

Just now started making noise at stops sometimes. So time to change. I’m at 124,000 miles.

Just over 10100 miles and will need to replace just the fronts.

The frequency of brake pad replacements will depend largely on the vehicle's use case, in concert with the driver's mechanical sympathy (or not.)

E.g., my 2021 JLU was just inspected last month, with 77K on the clock. I'm the original owner and it retains the original brakes. The front pads measured 12MM; the rears, 11MM. Pretty good, IMO, but I'm also a reasonably conservative driver in terms of starts and stops.

Pretty sure based on the price you’re looking at the teraflex delta brake kit like myself.

It depends on tire size upgrades, the terrain that you drive on, and how hard you are on brakes. I replaced my rear brakes at 45K, but the fronts still looked like new.

I saw the teraflex one too.
The one I was speaking of is Baer.
Someone told me wilwood is decent as well.

Brakes or the pads?
I just changed my front pads, rear looked like it has more than half it's life left.
I used Hawk pads, excellent pads IMO.

Pads with MOPAR OEM.

Which Hawk brake pads did you use? The Hawk LTS? How is the stopping power or bite compared with the stock OEM Mopar pads? How is brake dust? You keep the original rotors?
