   What Ray said.   
      
   Also check Endless. They specialize in Toyota brakes.   
      
   I don't use drilled/slotted rotors because they wear the pads faster,   
   however, in your case they might solve your problem.   
      
   As for the rears, most Toyta rear drums (if you have drums) are adjusted   
   by actuating the e-brake lever/handle. On models with the handle between   
   the seats, lifting the handle and lowering repeatedly adjusts the rear   
   shoes. The 4-Runner I am not that familiar with.
