Just want to see what you guys suggest.

Don't know about Wranglers, but I am ecstatic about the performance of the Hawk pads on the Powerslot Rotors I just installed on my Libby front end...

I am very satisfied with my "satisfied" brake pads on my mazda.
I have always been happy with brake parts from NAPA.

I'll second the Hawk recommendation. I've run Hawk HPS pads to great effect on my truck.

I recently switched to Axxis MetalMaster pads based on some recommendations. I hope they are as good as the Hawks - so far so good.

Great performance from 911 Extreme Performance from AutoSpeciality, Carson, CA. These are police and ambulance pads, and they work great.

I've always used Performance Friction pads from Autozone. They work fine for daily driving and seem to stop the big heavy TJ alot better than the stock pads.

The last pads that I put on the wife's Sahara were whatever NAPA carries in ceramic. I balked at the higher price, but, in her case, the cost of wheel cleaner outstripped the added cost of the pads 2:1 over their life span ..so the savings more than paid for them.

Ceramix brand from Napa work good for both my XJ and my TJ...if you do any mudding slotted and cross-drilled rotors clog with mud and greatly reduce braking..FYI.

I'm very impressed with the Bosch semi-metallic pads I just took off my Monte Carlo. I last serviced the front brakes at 45k, the car now has 95k and it looks like the passenger side caliper was inoperative for most of that time. Despite that, the pads on the driver's side weren't worn any more than you would expect, even though they were doing twice the work. I expect that I would have seen at least 75k miles out of those pads had the calipers been working properly. Anyway, I just replaced those with Bosch ceramic pads, along with replacing both calipers and rotors. The new brakes stop the car very well.

I went with Duralast golds from Autozone. I liked the lifetime warranty and have heard good things about the pads. They are not ceramic, but who cares about brake dust, I have black ar 767 wheels that hide the dust anyways.

If you off-road frequently, buy the cheapest pads and shoes available. No sense in spending any money on good pads and shoes when you'll just destroy them with mud and other junk. If it's more of a daily driver than off-roader, Raybestos and Bendix are good. I've used both on my TJs.
