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

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..
