I went wheeling through some pretty good size mud/water pits last night, and about half way through the trip (about an hour) My break pedal started being really mooshy, and wouldn't start to stop the runner until about half way to the floor. Usually the breaks activate as soon as i touch the break pedal. It happened all of the sudden. Any ideas on what it could be? I might be bleeding the breaks soon to see if that helps

Also the breaks are better today than they were last night, and my 4Runner has a strange habbit of healing itself.

 

hmmm you were in the mud, pretty good size pits.....almost got it.....maybe had some mud on the rotors/pads/calipers!! yeah!!
j/k mine gets like that when i go through the real nasty stuff, just wash them REALLY good at the car wash in the cover of darkness!!

p.s. i hate mud!!

 

Are you high fireteacher? That post is worded a tad bit weird...

I'll try hoseing them down and see what happens

 

LOL...extremely tired and almost finished with a 14 hour work day.
i was trying to be a bit sarcastic in the beginning. it does look wierd now reading it back! just hit them REALLY good with some water and spray them from both sides.
wheres the pics? i dont see any in the photo threads!

 

We started wheeling at 2:45 AM and ended at 4:00AM. It was DARK, and i didn't have my camera. I don't think the pics would have looked any good anyways... I have some pics of the mud on the 'runner, but it was after it rained pretty good and washed the mud off, so it doesn't look that impressive

I definitly saw the benifit of the lift, I was ALMOST high center about 3 times, and without the lift i would have been screwd. I really like how my suspension setup works offroad, best vehicle i've driven, handling wise (35 to 40mph through tight bumpy two tracks... and it felt really solid)

Oh, and i definitly have to do the diff breather extension.

 

trust me mud and water will do weird things i know this i did alot of wheeling in my last toyota but after breaking stuff that wasint cheap to fix i dont do it anymore
