Can anyone tell the difference between rotors and pads (truthfully)?

I have never brought any of my trucks to a mechanic in my life.

My first 4Runner had over 80,000 miles on it when it was totalled from the
rear in a hit and run accident. I gave the front pads to a buddy and they
still had 5 mm of OEM material on them when I did (and I had never replaced
them and had bought the 4Runner new).

This second 4Runner has 50,000 miles on it and the pads are still thick as
Ronald Reagan's hair. Amazing.

I do go OEM for everything and since my 1998 has never had a repair until
now, I had to learn where the best Internet dealership is. I found the two
best ones from you guys (Thanks).

I already ordered the OEM rotors and pads from that Internet Toyota
dealership for more than 25% less than what the local dealerships were
charging! (I want them to stay in business!).

Thanks for the advice,
Stu
