You're right that they shouldn't need adjusted as long as everything is working right...my deal is I don't like the 7 to 9 clicks to get the drums tight...I set mine at 3 to 5 all the time...but I'm not normal though. I don't like the factory default as being ok...I want brakes now...I did this with a very old brake machine to grind the shoes perfectly round so there are no high or low spots and the drums I machined below 1k on spec...toyota parts too...so they are a match set...the factory adjuster won't keep it there so I click it once it goes over 5.

Bought this 99 in 01 and haven't let it go since! Valve dropped at 195k so I rebuilt it with reman heads, new rings and one new piston...tough to find the correct numbered one but I did...still had the original hatch...I soaped it and did a light hatch to help the new rings seat...that was in 2015...since then I did a basic lift and put some VTX 18x9 inch wheels with 0 offset...Ive grounded the rear locker, ran a diff extension into the gas cap, did the hood piston mod...GM Alternator...13WL brakes..30 year ASE Master Tech with more tools than sense, so I quit everything and work at home now.
