Does this sound right to you?

This topic has been beat to death everywhich way. There doesn't seem to be any ryme or reason to the pad life. I took my LR4 in for the first service and they said my pads looked almost new after exactally 12,134 miles. That was with more than a few offorad trips in both Moab, the Black Hills of SD and locally. Plus, we had a misserable winter with lots of snow and ice that kept the ABS going a lot.

Poor pad durability aside, 4mm should be worth more than 200-300 miles; even 2mm should be worth more than that. What do they start out at? 9mm??

When I looked last, nobody was making an aftermarket pad for teh LR4 yet. Has anyone found one yet?

I have gone 5000 miles so far on 2mm. that includes mostly highway but on mtn roads cruising downhill, there must be a ton of wear holding back the speed.

My rotors are about done so I'm just going to run out whatever is left.

It's ok, mostly a mtn bike race event camper now:

Doing it all over again I would be very weight conscious and do more in aluminum and eliminate all but the most essential parts.

Nice truck, mon frère.

Weight is an issue often overlooked.

Would you mind re-listing all your modifications/additions in order of priority? Not by weight, but by utility, please. I have my own ideas, but I'd love to have your opinion.

Are you going for an LR4 when you sell the LR3?

If he does, I am so excited to see his modifications/accessories... especially considering how awesome the LR3 looks!
