strangely I recall my '87 having a little bit different pin geometry. I'll take a closeup of my '84s old pins when I do the drums in a week or two.
Those shoes should be original. Can't guarantee this is the problem/solution but we know it's a...
This is my belief. My centric shoes on my old 60 had an overadjustment problem on the side where I kept the aftermarket pin. On the other side I swapped to the OE pin from my old shoes, no adjustment issues.
From researching this there's at...
Maiden voyage was only a few miles down the road, but considering before this truck I’ve never done anything more than change oil, I’m calling it a win. Fully rebuilt the knuckles, tie rods, new steering stabilizer, and new calipers pads and rotors.

Engine bay Done
External wash Done

You can kind of see here what's going on in this Hilux video (same brakes): when everything is adjusted properly, and the there's the proper clearance between Drum and Shoe (FSM says 0.6mm), when brakes or E-brake are applied, the lever can't...
@CruiserTrash, You're on the right path to correcting this. Do you have aftermarket brake shoes? Is there any play in the pin on the shoe? look at pg 3 post 44 and LOOK at the second image. Does your washer sit on the shoulder of the pin...
Many thanks to @liveoak, @ntdb, @EscapeWagon62, @g-man, @Spike Strip and others for this thread - incredibly helpful.
