    What hasn't been modified?
    Well first off I would lock up the rear..
    but if I lock the front then I'd be eating dirt by the base of the tree

    Dqfuq? Toyota braking proportioning is like 80% front 20% rear. Or something like that.

    Better to ask what I have not done.
    Exactly. You dont want to put all or most onto the front brakes. Like every on learned on a bike.

    Speaking of rear brakes.. didn't realize they need to be adjusted manually. I should check that.

    Which way do you turn the adjuster wheel? I just showered, not sure if I want to go out and get under the truck... I am going to finish touch up on the slider, but thats easy.

    ABS still blows... haters gonna hate.

    My inner brake pad is squealing at 33k. And Jacks frankenbeast doesnt stop well. Possibly due to tipping the scales at 10,000 pounds.

    My ABS light has been on since I ran mineral creek& friends or w/e those trails are near telly, perhaps mine's blown too? It doesn't feel like it's there...

    doesn't surprise me about Jack's frankenbeast..

    What're you doing to the brakes?

    Thanks for the update!

    Liar!

    Your lead braking foot is the entire problem. The last 14 pages prove that. :D

    Never enough
    Everyone who actually rides bikes often knows that all the stopping power is in the front. If you try and stop with the rear brakes you're just gonna lock shit up and fishtail all over the place.
