My 2004 Tacoma, although not a 4 Runner has 13 0K on it. I replace pads once. Rear, never touch although they are drum brakes. Around here any time you take something in for brake job,they turn the rotors.Those things are thin to begin with.One turning will put them at minimal thickness. The first time they get hot they will warp,then you get the pulsating. Then you go back and they get a whole brake job from you.Changing out disc brake pads on a Toyota is one of the simplest jobs there is.
Except on older vehicles when the brake wheel cylinders leak and it required it, I have never changed brake fluid in any vehicle my entire life
On every one I've worked on, once the caliper is off, the rotor just slides off the lug bolts...after some pounding to break it loose sometimes.
I'm another who doesn't change fluid.
If you price new rotors, they don't costs much more than the cost of turning the old ones. Labor is expensive.
