Ok, time to get serious: I've contacted my local tire/mechanic/4x4 shop, and I'm dropping off my '97 FZJ80 this afternoon so that she can get new 285/75R16 Nitto Terra Grappler AT tires. Also, oil change and check/flush/change all other fluids, belts, and hoses. It's only money, right?
New to the forum because this weekend I.......bought my first Land Cruiser! Excited, proud new owner of a '92 FJ80 appropriately dubbed The PigRig. Hope to start as a regular lurker graduating to regular poster.
I bled the brakes, they feel a bit better but still a bit soft, gonna bleed em some more this next weekend!
Painted my dash inserts/surround.
Removed the bug shield.
Disassembled, cleaned, and reassembled the rear door switches.
Checked plugs, cap, and rotor. Just to make sure everything is good.
Installed my MUD stickers on the rear side windows!!
Coming from wherever via the mobile

[*]Connect one end to the bleed nipple.
[*]Feed the other end into the brake reservoir.
[*]Make sure the reservoir is full and you have extra brake fluid on hand.
[*]Bleed until fluid reaches the reservoir.
[*]Fill the reservoir to compensate for the fluid in the clear tube.
[*]Pump your heart out until all air bubbles disappear. No screwing/unscrewing necessary.
[*]Repeat.
[*]Laugh at everyone doing it the "old"way.

western flyer said:He has another post somewhere where he (first) describes bleeding out the old fluid while carefully replacing with new fluid in the MC until clear fluid runs through the tube. Then the tube in inserted into the MC. Hope that makes sense...I have been typing for 12 hours straight...
I paid my buddy to detail the inside - does that count?
