1999 4Runner Build

So I ended up cancelling my order on the Spidertrax and went with BORA 0.75”. Have to wait a few more days but my tires already stick past my flares and I didn’t want a lot more of that.
Probably just swap all my old brake hardware back on it for now until the spacers arrive.

Got the spacers installed along with the big brakes. Will get pictures when I go to retorque them soon.
Went to bed in the brakes and realized that it pulls really hard to the left during braking. Went home and bled the brakes, passenger caliper had air. Drove again and pulling still persists.
I adjusted the rear brakes just recently so I’m wondering if maybe I tightened up the rear left side more than the right, if that would cause it to pull left?
Gonna check bushings when I get a chance.

There’s the adapter installed. While I was there I swapped out my front sway bar bushings with some poly ones I got a while ago.

Had my brother press on the brake pedal a couple times and I’m thinking it’s this caliper that’s bad. Basically only one piston is working well. And the inside two aren’t really even moving out that much.

I tested all the pistons and they all seems to be moving around well enough none are frozen or stuck. Still hearing air in the passenger side. I realized that there may be air in the ABS module since I had to swap out the burnt one out. I think that may be the culprit here.

Well it's been like 5 years since my last post. Imageshack ended up getting rid of all the photos I uploaded and I guess there's no way to get them back. Also my hard drive with all those pics gave up as well lol.
My brother ended up getting into an accident on it some years back and I had to repair the front end and fender well.
Got new suspension up front, Wheelers T1 coils on Bilstein 5100 on lowest perch. Also Toytec rear springs.
Whiteline LCA bushings done recently.
Triple nozzle windshield washers also recently done.
New black LBJ bolts recently, after seeing that awesome thread about LBJ bolts and I'd had removed and reinstalled them with loctite several times so I wanted to avoid any risk of them breaking.
Three inch shifter extension installed, which I love.
Most recently, I got my steering wheel cover redone. Probably my fave mod. So glad I finally got to doing it, especially after so long of having the irritating spots of bare steering wheel on my palms.
