Yes, horses for courses etc..
Most won't push their cars all that hard that brakes become a big issue - my TRD is likely similar to yours, full custom alloy canopy with drop boxes, slide draw, 2" lift, b/bar, LR tank, fridge etc etc...
When away for rallies we have 20 odd wheels, full complement of spares/workshop tools/service gear/fuel, plus a rally car on a tandem trailer. It gets driven 'confidently'
so I'm very conscious of the lack-lustre brakes.
To give some perspective, the rally cars we run generally have 300(ish)mm rotors with 4 pot calipers, ceramic pads, braided lines, no boosters and in-dash adjustable pedal-boxes (at about 980kg). Once you've driven something with that kind of stopping power, everything else feels inadequate.
Also towed an offroad van around Aus (a large amount on dirt) and vowed never to do another trip without throwing those drums in the bin....
Drums are cheaper to manufacture, that's why they use them.
Good drivers have dead bugs on the side windows..........
