In today’s video, I (finally) put some work in to keep my rear drum brakes on my Toyota Tacoma TRD Off-Road looking new and surface-rust free! This was pretty easy and can be accomplished with simple tools at home.

#Toyota #Tacoma #Brakes
Good upload. Outer brake drum surface rust has plagued Toyota truck owners for generations.
What blows my mind is the newer vehicles still using drum brakes and have not converted to disc brakes yet.
hi chloe wassup
Love the maintenance video Chloe. At the end if you wanted it to keep the drum from rusting quickly you could spray a light coat of fluid film, which you can get at AutoZone. Have a great week.
good thing u dont live int he rust belt.
Safety glasses young lady. You get any of that spray back in your eyes, you will understand why I say this.
Keep up the good work watch the frame I would paint it
Toyota uses drum brakes in the rear to save cost. Cheaper and they last longer than disk brakes. Also, the front breaks do most of the breaking and for off road purposes they still use drum breaks to help keep debris out of the braking system.
Chloe, you are the best. I love watching you work on your rig. Any time you are in vermont you are welcome to help me work on my taco or stang.
It would have been a nice video if you would have converted your drums to discs there's a lot of people that trying to do that conversion
What leaf springs are you running? Also, great video, we don’t use salt on our roads in Oregon, but living near the coast causes lots of rust.
Hi Chloe, Thanks for the video. However I suggest you put mask before doing anything with rust. Keep up the good work. Just my 2 cents.
i would spray paint them with anti rust paint after that , at least you would have a coating that will seal the metal from further oxidation
You should do an engine bay cleaning video.
