Thank you so much for all your assistance!! ​

Howdy! Those of us "fortunate" enough to have wrenching/driving experience in earlier Landcruisers ( read pre-disc brake era ) have nearly all had the "brake lights stay on" syndrome. A few of us have also possibly mis-adjusted the switch position-pedal height-pushrod length assembly. It does sound vaguely familiar. I heard about one lucky lad who drove quite some distance into a heavy headwind, not realizing that it wasn't just the wind creating the resistance. He was actaully starting to doubt his recent decision to install a V8. Due to several other drivers pointing down at his front wheels, he decided to pull over and check it out. After stopping on the exit ramp, smoke began billowing off of his front brakes. A DPS officer appeared instantly, and recommended the use of a fire bottle to cool it off or he would call in the fire trucks. Upon further examination, he realized that the brake pedal was only going about half of the normal travel. After a quick adjustment of the pushrod, everything went back to normal. After a short stop at the car wash to destroy the evidence, he continued on to the Tonto NF for a day of 4x4. The brakes worked fine thereafter. Would this qualify as a "White Knuckle Experience"?
