It is a stand alone MC. Two ports on the LH side, then ABS unit on RH wheel well. That is why I'm so confused. I also did crack the lines from the MC after the bench bleed. I'm now considering cracking the fittings on the ABS unit with the power bleeder hooked up and seeing what happens.

stir_fry_boy, I see you have a 2002 4Runner which has a different brake system than the 96-00 models. I believe the bleeding procedure is different as well. Not sure if this matters though. TheHoneyBadger, what year is your car? Also, when you guys bled with engine on did you bleed two man...

Yes, drums are adjusted until a slight rub can be heard but no resistance felt.

Wheel cylinders are Carquest Wearever. I may replace them with Napa parts just to try something else. I'm assuming KEOE is Key On, Engine On....and no I did not try that. I did bleed key On only though. Didn't think engine on was necessary on the 96-00 4Runners. Is this not the case? I...

So, let me start by saying I have bled the brakes on tons of car and have never experienced anything like this before. This is on a '99 4WD Limited It began as a simple upgrade/replacement....front brakes to Tundra 13WL calipers/rotors/pads and replaced rear shoes and drums. When I got in the...

No worry with changing them out...definitely not my first time at the rodeo. Also, don't think the driveability concern will be a problem. I've done plenty of bushing/tie-rod end replacements and it's not hard getting them close enough for the 5 mile drive to the alignment shop. The panhard bar...

Haven't seen anything like that yet and I've looked all through their diagrams.

I can't seem to find any Energy or Prothane front control arm bushings. I did find some lowers by Whiteline though. $73 shipped from Amazon for 4 pieces. W53377A - Front Lower Control Arm Bushings - Inner - Whiteline Suspension Parts

Well this suspension upgrade/refresh is definitely quite a bit more expensive with all genuine Toyota parts. Here is how all the components are priced out. Price for Moog are from RockAuto and Toyota are from Camelback Toyota. I'm not one to skimp or cut corners, but a few of these price...

Well that's definitely unfortunate. I'll return the upper and lower ball joints for sure then and maybe the tie rod ends. RS Dude, you need to replace you control arm bushings as well? Hard to imagine those would wear out that quickly.

So my '99 4Runner now has 247k miles on it and I'm about to replace/upgrade my entire suspension, steering, and brake systems since most of it needs to be replaced anyway. It is almost 100% stock at this point except for a set of 265/75-16 BFG KO2's. Here is what I have already ordered...

Thanks for the help. I ended up picking up option #1 ('99 Limited 4WD w/ rear locker). Got it for $6200+tax, title, etc....feel like I definitely got a great truck for the money. Quick picture after taking it home today :D.

#1 does have a sunroof actually (everything works perfect with it and all the other windows...maybe a little slow though), you just can't see it in the pictures for some reason. The in-dash monitor is just a aftermarket headunit with a screen and A/V inputs...no actual navigation function built...

Yea, #1 is the one that I want...just hope they are willing to drop their price. If they don't I'll probably be looking at one of the other 2.

Guess, I should have explained in my first post. No matter what car I get, unless I have documented proof otherwise, I am assuming that the timing belt, water pump, spark plugs, spark plug wires, pcv valve, fuel filter, air filter, and cabin filter need to be changed. I will also be changing...
