I bled all the brakes key on and even used techstream to activate the abs pump. I don't feel like my brakes are soft or a significantly low pedal like some people claim, but I can definitely tell the difference when I drive a stock 4Runner. Maybe people aren't adjusting their rear drum brakes correctly? Who knows. I definitely see the brake hoses being part of their problem if they are original. I'm glad I didn't get a 01/02. VSC/TRAC sounds like an added headache that I would rather avoid. In hindsight I wish I would have got an SR5 and avoided the multimode transfer case completely.
