DIY Inspection Tips:

Visual Inspection: Some Hilux models have small inspection gaps where you can see the brake pad thickness. If you can see less than 3mm of pad, its time to replace them.
Listen for Noises: If you hear scraping o r grinding noises, it usually means the pads are too thin.

If youre unsure about the thickness, its always a good idea to have a mechanic do a quick check for you.
