Question On Brakes

Both my front and back brakes will need replacing soon. All are disc brakes. Another thing is I tow a camper sometimes. What should I get for replacements?

Raybestos or EBC green stuff pads are always a good choice.

I'd just go with the Napa ceramics. They are a close replacement for OEM and work pretty well.

haven't put them on yet but my bro has had a similar setup on his dakotas and he is rough on brakes...

EBC slotted dimpled rotors and bendix ceramics for me

I'm currently running Wagner Thermoquite pads and cannot recommend them. When the KJ needs brakes, I'm going to try EBC.

I'm actually quite impressed with the oem's as far as wear is concerned. with 40000 on them they still have no signs of giving up soon. but when i do replace them i will be investing in a better pad because i find the oe's a little soft for towing my tent trailer around

I forgot to add that each pair of EBC greenstuff pads comes with one of these...................

After 27000 miles, Camp Jeep '07, ECS '09, and Durhamtown mud I had to replace my rear pads and turn the rotors (according to the dealer). Interesting that the rear went before the front. Does that happen?
I assume the front are not far behind, but I'll check them myself to be sure. The info here is very helpful.

Seems to be something that happens on the kjs..

Turning the rear rotors really isnt that grand of an idea. Not much to grind of those.
