    -----------------

    Gonna cross post this one in my build thread, but I put it up here too. This is the rendition of my pressure brake bleeding system I finally got to actually work...

    IMG_20180302_135638067.jpg

    All parts sourced from Lowes.

    Parts list:

    (1) Mini pressure regulator
    (1) 1/4" NPT (male)--1/4" NPT (female) ball valve (not really nessasary but it's an added layer of convenience.)
    (1) 1/4" NPT (male) air chuck nipple
    (2) 1/4" NPT (male) to 1/4" hose barb
    (1) 3/8" NPT (male) to 1/4" NPT (female) reducer bushing
    (1) 1-1/2" PVC pipe plug (not a cap)
    (1) 1-1/2" rubber pipe coupling (This should fit over the opening of your brake fluid reservoir, but I had to cut the bottom lip off mine to get the clamp down far enough to clamp to the lip of the opening.)
    (1) roll of teflon tape
    (1) package of 3/8" OD x 1/4" ID clear vinyl tubing (the sticker says it came in a 20' roll. I used some of it for the rig above and the rest I used to make hoses for the bleeder valve to run to a catch jar.)

    I'm not guaranteeing this will work with ABS systems. We tried a previous iteration on @Rattletrap66 's truck and got nothing out of the bleed valves. We tried a similar concept, but a cruder implementation on @Sholden223 's truck and got bupkis. It worked on the OGT without ABS, but I haven't tried it on the T4R yet. I've seen a video of it working on a 3rd Gen T4R with the same ABS setup as mine has so I'm assuming it will work, but I have my doubts.

    yes! sorry, I meant to comment back on that, but I ended up getting busy at work and forgetting about it lol. That's not a bad spot at all for it since I dont run my spare tire at all...only issue is I'm not a huge fan of how the compressor is mounted upside down with the bolts up, if it were the other way around, id TOTALLY get it. But i think for now, im gonna get a smaller sized toolbox and mount everything in there, that way I have a spot for the compressor and my recovery stuff

    I've got a vacuum bleeder that I had to use on my Harley. I have some extended brake lines to install when I get home that I'm hoping will work .

    So, my brother has had a KZ1000 sitting in storage for close to a decade. He offered it up to me for free (total basket case). I'm thinking the power plant might make for a fun SXS buggy...
