OK, the appeared differences.
Kodiak, less than $400 per side. Tie Down over $100 per side.
Both have stainless rotors.
Kodiak has a stainless caliper and mounting plate with galvanized hub.
Tie Down has an aluminum caliper with a galvanized mounting plate and hub.
Both appear to mount the same.

Any other differances?

Thanks fellas, Ive looked at all the above and was wondering which were best without breaking the bank. Im pulling my V with a tacoma, and I can pull it ok but catch hell stopping it. I definately need some brakes! I cant afford a bigger truck right now, got one daughter in college and paying for my wifes forerunner. Id like a new Tundra, but will have ta wait a while yet. Ill let you all know which brakes I go with. Dont use it in salt water much.

Sorry, been busy. The tiedown's biggest problem from what I've seen with my own eyes are their calipers and the mounting brackets. I see mess of these brakes as they are on most new trailers now. I work in a large waterfront community. So many people launch in the spring and park the trailer till fall. Many of them return to seized calipers.

I went with the S-Cad Kodiaks, and they still look new after 50 or so cycles.

I'm not a big fan of brakes for a boat of that size but I have never really had a time where I had to slam on the brakes. Sense the boat is not that big could you just add brakes to the two front tires on each side and not all four?

[Airslot]

Most all just have brakes on the front axle.

[cfelton]

That was my next question, which axle ta put em on. I guess the weight transfer to the front makes putting em on the front axle the preferred choise. Iv gotta order a new master cylinder for my DICO coupler and I'll go with the Kodiak disc for the front axle. Thanks for all the information. Its really helped me alot!!

O give me a brake!!

Get it

[cfelton]

Well I finally ordered a pair of Kodiak SCAD disc brakes for my trailer monday. I got them today, talk about fast these folks are on time.I ordered them from Custom Hitch & Trailer out of Naples Florida. I got hubs with rotors, calipers,ceramic pads, all the wheel brgs and seals and mounting bolts,even got lug nuts for $199.95. Looks like a hell of a deal ta me! Also ordered a reverse lockout solenoid to go behind the acuator for $29.95. Now I gotta take time to mount em up and Ill be ready!

I know I know, my hands were so greasy when I finished ,my wife woulda kicked my a$$ if Ida touched her camera. When I get it all together Ill see what I can do about some pics!
