I'm going to install some electric drum brakes on my trailer. Does anyone recommend a good website to buy from? Right now I'm planning on buying from etrailer.com. Any suggestions for brake controllers? Thanks.

Tekonsha Prodigy, but I can't imagine towing a trailer heavy enough to need brakes with a 4runner. I have a diesel ram for my car trailer.

Mainly for liability and "just in case" comfort. California requires brakes when the GW is 1500 lbs or something like that. I plan on hauling 1 ton machinery, making the trailer about 3250 lbs.

Anyway, I bought a Tekonsha Sentinel... prodigy was overkill for a 6x12 tandem axle trailer. 10" drum brakes.

Now I have a question... is the left-hand brake on the driver's side? Just making sure I got my left and right while facing in the correct direction.

Also, the brakes have two green wires... do I connect one to the blue wire of the controller and one to the chassis of the trailer? Thanks!

Left is always the driver side. It goes if you were in the drivers seat.

You need to trace the wires on the trailer. Don't go by the colors.
