I don't have anything, but I'd hit up the junkyard 
You need rotors or just pads...
I'm cheap, and I'd probably pull rotors off a junkyard truck and get the cheapest possible set of pads.
I use to always research and find/buy the best of everything, but now I'm just thinking what the hell should I waste my money for (I mean come on, I don't need drilled/slotted/vented disc brakes and ceramic brake pads on all 4 cornors of a mud truck).

Paul for what its worth you have them all mounted backwards lol. Notice how you have them the center 2 treads make a v towards the front of the truck? Well the outside pairs need to make 2 v shape towards the front

I agree....for a mud truck no need to buy the best of everything....street truck would be different....but hey....junkyard rotors (or autozone) should be fine...

Same difference?
LOL.....pretty close....i've not had good luck with autozone brake parts on things i've worked on.....they've warped pretty quick....although the mud trucks won't have the highway speeds that you notice it at.....or the miles probably
Same difference?

I've never had good quality anything from autozone, but if I buy something there, I know full well I'm buying a piece of junk.
I try to limit the things bought from there for that reason.
The brakes were good on my bronco when I got it, so they can stay like that.
I'm really wishing I wouldn't of bought the New Iroks now though.... I got a good deal on them and they pull great, but I would of much ratherd bought some used boggers and put some chromo shafts instead(for same money).

damnit lol, I made sure they matched and just guessed, oh well. I couldn't find any markings on the tire itself to say which way they go
