Miles did your JK have on it when you had to replace the brake pads?

Mines an 09 and has just over 46k on it. It started chirping on my way home tonight.

55,000KMS here. Typical of the JK, the ESP is known to eat up the pads. Fronts are still fine.

Check out the write up on Project JK on doing your own rear pads, very good, very easy to do.

I changed my rear pads at 35k last month. Went with Hawk LTS. My stock pads were nearly gone.

I took a look at them after dinner, the fronts are fine, not so much on the rears.
Trans fluid, t-case and both diffs last weekend, brake pads next weekend.
...and so it begins.

If it's any consolation they're super easy to replace on your own...
