A mechanic said that it will take 3 changes for the front disc pads before the rear drum brake lining needs replacing. Considering the front brakes bear more brunt than the rear. Dunno if rear disc brakes will also take longer to replace.

Whereas sa Disc brake after replacing the front 2 times. Madalas palitin na din yung sa rear based on my experience sa Grand Starex

Another example would be the middle row grab handles. Standard in the Fortuner in Thailand, and all other local PPVs except for the Fortuner. You can have one installed outside the casa for P6000 (original Toyota part).

Im interested in this grab handle. can you pls direct me where can i have this installed? or probably you can share its OEM part #. thanks

I got mine installed at JC Garage - Jc Garage - Home | Facebook

Though Import Elementz also has this if you're from QC - Import Elementz Car Accessories - Home | Facebook

Re sa grab handles, may additional drilling ba sa body?

If no, how do they affix and secure the grab handles to the car chassis?

The wifey approved this purchase. Useful for her and the kids! Sorry, OT na

BTTT: I stand corrected, kahit sa Thailand walang grab handle yung Fortuner. But the weird thing is the Hilux does. And may abang for installation. Toyota could've made it standard kit for the Fortuner, but chose not to.

hey, thanks, sir. Inquired at JC Garage (tru txt and FB) and they said its P6.8K. Wondering if theirs is really OEM, but regardless, this upgrade is a big help for ingress and egress for our rear passengers..

Akala ko pinaglalaban ng Toyota na mas okay ang rear drum brakes para sa ganun klaseng SUV? right now they updated with rear disc brakes na in Thailand and sooner or later dito na

[claytonyu]

So why in Thailand they get rear disc brakes ... but not in the Phils? ... "broken" ba in Thailand so they need to fix ... while in the Phils. it's not "broken" so just keep it as it is? ... I don't think so ...

Updated version gets released in Thailand first for SEA market, and eventually we will get the updated versions

[claytonyu]

Ford Everest ... good features ... good quality ... not so good reliability ...
Mitsubishi Montero Sport ... good features ... not so good quality ... so-so reliability ...
Toyota Fortuner ... not so good features ... good quality ... good reliability ...

Montero sport not so good quality? I thought Mitsubishi is good in terms of that.

And speaking of Fortuner, Thailand just released their 4 wheel disc version, and we will get the update soon. Dont worry about it my friends

there is a difference between "broken" and "better".
and even then, sometimes, the difference is more of subjective than objective.

hey! if it will sell a few more forts,...

I'll purchase the conversion kit in Thailand as soon as my toyota warranty ends. Braking would still be superior when comparing a disc vs. a drum. 1) better heat dissipation. 2) easier to maintain since replacing disc brake pads is hella lot easier than shoe pads. 3) once you wade in a flood prone area your drum brakes automatically suffer... water and dirt gets stuck inside hence making braking very hard and wearing the drum itself.

I've done a couple of DIY conversions as long as you have the basic tools then you're good to go. I did it on my old starex and fortuner and that was more than a decade ago and the aftermarket disc brakes are still in great condition. The price is quite affordable around less than $200 so you wouldn't be taxed by customs now unlike before. ;) P10k above ang taxable ngayon ata sa customs.

good for you, sir!

but for everyday driving, driver will probably feel very little, if any, difference.
except for the occasional flood wading, that is.

True, I feel the rear drum brake is adequate naman sa city, feel ko nga malakas nga eh.
