I was safety inspecting and repairing an 07 FJ Cruiser at work a few days ago and I noticed that its front brake pads look alot like the front pads on our H3s. I had redone my front brakes before Moab this fall and had kept the old pads on my toolbox. Low an behold they are almost exactly the same except for the side near the center of the rotor. And they have an audible wear sensor that H3 pads do not. Everything measured the same, overall length, pin hole spacing, friction width, backing plate thickness. The friction length is a bit longer on the H3 pads.
I paid $124 at Factory Motor Parts for the OE Delco pad set that included all pins, shims and hardware. I know they can be had for $94 plus shipping at Rock Auto (who happen to be located across the street from our shop) but I wanted them right away at the time. Jobber cost on the Toyota FJ pads is about $75 I think and may include shims if they are the white box Toyota pads. These should also fit Tacos and 4runners. When I get a chance I'll pull a front wheel and see how they fit and report back. Heres some pics to see the comparision.
