    Hey TW folks,
    I’m installing extended brake lines with my heavy duty leaf springs next weekend and was wondering if anyone with a 2016+ Tacoma could chime in on their experience bleeding the brakes after installing them?
    Thanks!

    With an OR it is stupid stupid easy. Once you install them, turn your truck to "on" without starting the truck. If you're push to start, that means push the button twice but leave your foot off the brake.

    Then, apply pressure to the brake pedal and keep pressure on. Crack open the bleeder. The electric pump will just keep on pumping brake fluid out until you close it. Then do the other side. Simple as that. No need to do the traditional pump pump open close fiasco like with other cars.
