    ^^^ not on the older trucks, my 79's don't have them. and they stop without problems. thats why i suggest removing them completly.

    this truck never came with a LSPV but the master cylinder had been replaced, and without a load it will lock up the rears super easy. especially without a bed. i think the master is a generic one for newer trucks. you get used to the touchy brakes on it.

    i rocked mine up untill the motor blew the HG.

    i mainly ride the bike to and from work but thats gotten a bit old since i cant haul anything larger than what fits in a backpack. so im picking up a s13 240 here soon i hope to make it the daily to afford more leasurely down time on my truck for build up. i just hope i dont get distracted by the 240 and bleed funds from the lolux build...... my truck wont be happy if that happens :lol:
