Ep9 Powerbrake Big Brake Kit & Standard Diameter Kit for Toyota Hilux Install

[@joachimburg1122]

Did my PowerBrake upgrade 14 years ago on my 2006 TJ Wrangler. Never looked back!

[@RoamOverlanding]

Awesome to hear!

[@hendelclase9956]

Installed the normal upgraded discs and pads on the front axle of my Mitsubishi Pajero Sport from PowerBrake about a month ago, and man does it make a difference! Really worth the money.

[@khupukanimokgethi1038]

Great Sir

[@jacquesD4D]

This will probably be the best kitted Hilux in SA when you are done. I would like to fit the big brake kit to my Fortuner. I tow a off road caravan so stopping power will be very helpful in that regard.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Oh that would be a great addition for a caravan 👌🏻 just wait until you see how it’s looking now 🤤 it’s crazy!

[@unknownanon62]

Damn that intro. Calming, satisfying sticker application with equally awesome music. When you get such upgrades, I can’t decide if you should pay them for the awesome hardware or they should pay you for the awesome advertising. Seriously, the advertisement videos of huge companies pale in comparison to your montages.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Hahah 🤣 thanks man! I’m glad you enjoyed my little sections, I really had fun with it on this episode 👌🏻 the last steps of the build are going to be interesting! Then we can get on to the fun, and less commercial part of the series

[@lankanventipix5110]

looking forward to see how these IFS going to handle in off road conditions in comparison to the Jimny's front solid axle.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Me too 👍🏻

[@woestynkriek63]

I saw the new Nissan patrol doing better than the 200 Land cruiser in climbing rough terrain. it's got all round ifs were the cruiser has a solid axel at the back the problem with solid axel is it can only be lifted with increase in tire size. No matter what you do to the suspension. The downside is ifs can get more expensive when lifted but you can get more clearance when done correctly

[@RoamOverlanding]

@@woestynkriek63 very interesting. I always felt this way about the new defender, it’s clearance is insane because of the way it’s suspension is setup.

[@jeanjoubert12]

The Hilux will eat the jimney offroad. Traction control and difflock coupled with even power distribution amd torque down low.

Hi guys! Just saw the video and subscribed. I drive a FJ but having issues with vibration while braking. Definitely going to buy the D-line. Hopefully this will be the fix/upgrade I was looking for.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Thanks for the sub boet! They are a really fantastic kit, so I am sure you will be super happy going forward! Even after almost a year now, I am stoked with mine as is Roelf with his! I hope to see you around on some more episodes :)

[@rokuth]

Any plans to upgrade or change the brakes on the rear axle?

[@RoamOverlanding]

The rear drums actually work really when the vehicle is loaded up, and they still recommend just keeping them standard, the BBK will compensate for anything the rear can’t handle

[@rokuth]

@@RoamOverlanding I suppose the market dictates what is put on a vehicle as standard equipment. When I left the USA in 2009, it was rare to find any new car or truck with rear drum brakes. Only older vehicles from the 1970s the early 1980s still used drum brakes. Somewhat of a shock when I came back to Malaysia to find that this was only the norm on more expensive and luxury brands. This is true on the same vehicle sold both in the USA and around the world. Less safety features, smaller engines, but can cost more than the upscale version in the USA.

Toyota has actually improved their brakes on the new Hilux. From 2 pot on the D4D/L45 shape to 4 pot on the new shape.

[@RoamOverlanding]

Yeah so since 2009 they havent changed it though, quite interesting to see that my 2.4 has the exact same brakes at the 2.8 L50 and then for the previous 9 years of Hiluxes before mine.

Hey Larry, they do have developed kits for ford, so I’m sure they have something for an Everest, pop them a message on Instagram or Facebook, or head to their website and find out. The BBK needs a minimum of a 17inch wheel to fit in, so keep that in mind too 👌🏻

[@gailmaplesden7380]

Will the big brake kit fit in the 17 inch rims ? I know 15 inch rims comes on the 2 wheel version of the hilux and that is probably the same stock kit

[@RoamOverlanding]

The big brake kit is significantly bigger than stock, so you will definitely need a 17” rim; but the standard power break kit I think you’ll be good on a 15/16” tire; but best to chat to them to find out. There are 2 versions of brakes for the Hilux; a small diameter and a larger diameter

Hi Adrian, food for thought regarding my own Hilux. Two question (unrelated). Firstly, does the Powerbrake application void the Toyota warranty? Secondly, are you happy with your current Coopers tires?

Good question Grant, my vehicle is just about out of its warranty anyways, so I haven’t been too phased. But check with Powerbrake directly to find out, they’ll help you out chip chop! 👌🏻you can go to their site, or their social media

No upgrades to the rear brakes?

[@RoamOverlanding]

The rear drum brakes are actually very good with dealing with dynamic loads, so it’s recommended to keep them. The BBK will make up for any missing performance from the rear

[@gotoylc]

Toyota has used rear discs on 4x4 vehicles since the early 1990’s. I am very surprised disks have not been added to the Hilux range. The problem with rear drums is that dust and mud will make them wear quickly; especially in off-road applications, around town is ok. Keep a check on the rear drums for wear n tear often.

[@peters2860]

Good & very sensible choice of doing the brakes BEFORE throwing way more fuel & boots to the vehicle. The colour could be matched better to the vehicle :-P That being said.......-> The PP hackjob with the dustshield is "No bueno"... Sorry! This should have been delt with differently. What is the ACTUALL difference in Ø between the factory & upgraded rotor? Furthermore what brakepads are U running now? We only saw the budget upgrade running Mintex which is not overly inspiring.... Personally I`d love to see a rough financial figure of what this sets a customer back. At the very least do a price comparison to what a Toyota Dealer would charge for 2 discs + pads, hose(s) & calipers so the audience can have a taste :-) & Finally -> How much (less) clearence is there between the caliper & rim? Brgds Peter

[@RoamOverlanding]

So the anodizing is a special product and it only comes out like that 👍🏻 the diameter difference is different depending on the vehicle.

Roam Overlanding and that is a lovey job! But you need to find the right balance between talking and doing. I also have a Hilux which I am customizing and the things that you use are very nice, but... realistically you could have started enjoying the bushes without any gear at all ;)... you are presenting a myth that some people are chasing and that most people can’t afford. Don’t get me wrong, I love your videos and also the way they are filmed, BUT I would like to see more “action” rather than marketing... this could have been done over a series of episodes and you could have “improved” while experiencing the wild. It’s just my opinion, even though I’m doing the same things as you. My 257 km Hilux is sitting in a workshop waiting to get his upgrades... instead of me enjoying the wild. And o believe I made a mistake.
