Default Drum brakes - do you disconnect the parking brake cable?

The drums are perfectly fine in that they have 2mm to spare even after 175K
miles on the original drums.

As you're probably aware, scoring has to be huge to fail a rotor or drum
(really huge when you look at the specs, it's amazing how huge).

The shoes are $157 for a set, and the cylinders are $102 each at Toyota.

I'm going to look for a rebuild kit because these cylinders are in great
shape from the looks of it (and I already rebuilt the brake master cylinder
which was also in great shape).
