I changed my 2011 to EBC Green stuff discs and pads, the difference was staggering, but then decided to sell the car about 6 weeks later, so someone benefited. My guess would be the discs I took off were original fitment, the pads had probably been replaced as there was plenty of material left.

My other car has Brembo disc brakes all round, but when it needs new discs and pads it will be EBC Green Stuff if they make them in that size.

Thanks for the replies, all info is useful.

Main use for the vehicle is likely to be (a) the equivalent of a Polaris but more sturdy and (b) getting to a shop if there's local flooding or snow.

Perhaps for towing a mowing deck, but they're not heavy loads and expensive for a 2 stroke with three blades.

Quick look underneath and the rear brake drums look quite corroded, so will need replacing either with new drums or discs.

Green Stuff I've heard of, so might be a fair front option especially with the limited exposure to deep or frequent mud.

Other minor things I've noticed:
1) Passenger window non functional, could be switch or motor?
2) Dash bulb behind left side of speedo out
3) Doesn't want to engage 2L, jumps out of gear

Are these doable DIY jobs for someone with limited skill and tools or best left to a mechanic?
 

If the passenger window doesn't work it's probably the child interlock on the drivers side buttons has been engaged, it's the little square one in front of the 2 toggles.

Selecting low box 
Are you pushing down on the stick
Could be the stick catching bodywork 
This can happen if truck has a body lift
Remove the rubber gator and see what's happening 
2low is not an option unless have manual locking hubs[leave in un locked position] 
Or put a switch in to turn off the vacuum 

I have never heard of replacing brake drums because they were rusty.

Indeed with your indicated use cases, I'm not sure why you would have any interest in spending any time/money on the brakes at all, let alone for cosmetic changes.

My opinion: cross the rear brakes off your to-do list.

Gave it a go, but no joy. Window locking button in either position, passenger window unresponsive from either seat. Maybe it is that switch at fault, or the motor. I'll investigate further
