pulsing sensation in brakes

Several passengers had ridden with me in my 2000 Landcruiser and commented that my rotors are warped. I replaced rotors and pads and it went away for few days and is back. Just feels like a pulsing when braking, could this be the ABS sytem or a sticky caliper?
Thanks
Rob

drive for a while (20 minutes or more), then slam on the brakes - does it pull to one side? This is a good way to test for a sticking calipur. If it's seized, it will heat up while you drive. the hotter the pads get, the less effective they will be. When you slam on the brakes, if a calipur is seized, it will likely pull to the side OPPOSITE that of the bad calipur.
