    You didn't crack a line somewhere that you forgot about?


    My brakes are working fine now, but as soon as it gets cold enough for the valve body to act up again I'm pulling the ABS module and shoving in that Defender tee. Will do extended soft lines at the same time.

      I replaced everything. The other line had been replaced, so both lengths of solid pipe going to the back are fresh. I'll have a look on my lunch today though.

      This brake pump integral ABS bullshit sucks.

        ......annnnnnnnd the other line was only replaced 3/4 the way up. Where it crosses the bottom of the truck it ruptured at on of the clips that secures it. FML.

          Keep at it Slammin!! I chased hydraulic demons with my '77 Spitfire for the better part of summer, and there are lawnmowers with more complicated braking systems than that British POS.

            It's not really hard to do, just frustrating. Getting the e28's clutch bled properly last night gave me a boost of motivation to keep at it. I noticed too I'm in a better mood at work today.

            At least now it's about ~50" of line instead of 120".

                  Brought this lovely thing home yesterday. 1989 RRC. Paint is rough, but the body panels are straight, minus the bumpers. Seems to run and drive decently! Got it for a steal. Can't wait to build it up a little bit


                  Pics my brother took while I was making sure it was ready for transport lol

                      Plan is to put together an Isuzu 4JB1T diesel/5 spd swap. Trying to get maximum fuel efficiency, for daily use and the possibility of long overland expeditions :p

                        Once the M52 goes out I want to look into some diesel conversion for mine....

                        Interested to see this.

                                So slammin and I replaced fuel pump, put about 1.5 gallons of coolant, 7 gallons of gas, a can of seafoam, and 2 quarts of oil and BAM WE DROVE THAT BITCH 30 MILES HOME.

                                It sort of wonders when you hit a bump, so I need to crawl under there and see what bushings need replacing.
