Truck is through the inspection, good for another two years.
Found bleeding the front was a bit of a horror show... Apparently you need to disconnect the load proportioning valve on the rear axle in order to force all the fluid forwards to bleed it, once I did that it was easy enough...

Interesting; I should try that on my LJ78. I always struggle with the bleeding, and never quite got it right after extending flex lines to my axles.

Disconnect it from the axle and let the arm drop all the way down to simulate a rising rear end which redirects force to the front

Will do. I have disconnected mine, but set it for max bias to back. Gave in general more even braking, and I liked it much better on steep descents while offroad. But sounds like that is what messed my bleeding up!

Have you tried braking on a loose surface? Mine locked up the rear before the front which was pretty terrible if you had to brake on snow or ice as it's likely to result in a spin. Same reason that contrary to popular belief you want your best tires on the rear and not the front, even for front wheel drive cars...
Fun thing with doing a Swedish license, you have to spend a day on a skid pad playing around, to demonstrate this effect they have two cars set up differently with snow tires rear summer front or visa versa.... Impressively different for otherwise identical cars. One you couldn't hope to drive around a corner at 50 without spinning, the other cruises right through... Pretty funny when they don't tell anyone and every second car spins out hopelessly...

The LPV has only a limited effect on bias I think. The pick-ups are pretty light in the back? The LJ78 is 50/50 weight distribution; so might have a bit of a different feel. For sure I've braked hard on loose terrain and snow. I honestly prefer the braking the way it is now. The back might lock-up slightly before the front; but it's very close from memory. Main problem is the remaining air in the lines making for soft pedal. I'll try playing with LPV while bleeding brakes next time. I have a new master to go in, so maybe around then.
That's pretty cool about the Swedish license test!
I used to be into motor sports and did a couple driver training programs, some autocross. Had lots of fun with small fast sports cars for years. Retained quite a bit of that to this day. Theory behind weight transfer under braking/acceleration and taking the right lines through different types of corners, tire tech, etc.. was enlightening. I think everyone should do that.

Ya in an ideal setup its normally a tiny tiny bit after the front, it's not like you want the front to lock up seconds before the rear
On mine you need to watch pretty closely to see which locks up first...
