brakes life span

Something I've realized lately is that I've had my truck going on 9 years and I have yet had to replace the brake pads/roters/drums/drum parts. Since I've had my truck I've maybe put 30k on it and last looked everything look fair and dry. Am I safe? I should look closer to the lines, I know that. My truck stops on a dime, almost as good as my car. The pedal feels perfect.

Re: brakes life span

Probably still good if its stops good,on my 78 3/4 went thru the whole system over the years,my biggest culprit were the front brake lines,short rubber ones,they swelled from the inside out and the truck had major stopping problems,thinking back this was problem the whole time!
