lol, thanks, some pages got a little squirrely. But hey that's life I guess. 
This thread should be re-entitled fix-it thread instead of build thread. hahaha. Got some issues going on with the brakes. Either master is shot or I got a break in a front line that I cannot see. Maybe a leak between the master and booster. We will see today. Good thing for lifetime warranties.
On a side note, if anyone is getting rid of a t-100, I need the brake low level pig tail.

Congratz on the "IT'S IN THE MAIL" happiness! lol... Actually, you're "LOW"jack'n, no? hahahaha. You're actually sending people over there.... at least me! haha.
I've only had one problem with this rig, 'soft pedal'-etc.-wise.... OTHER THAN the rear Cylinders. They APPEARED to work fine....but somehow, through TINY flaws, were pulling in a tiny bit of air over a period of a couple weeks at a time. Went to Toyota, "ooops, wrong kit, can't get it for a week"..... Went down to Napa, grabbed an Altrom Kit for rebuilding the cyl's back there... Then finally spend 8$ MORE for the whole cyl's, new! WTH? hahaha. Never had another problem. My brakes work flawlessly(all stock) and yet, I've NEVER bled the LPSV.
I made friends with a Foreman at my local Toy Dealer,.... and he has a quality "Power Bleeder".... YEAHHHH, BOOOOOOOOOEY! lol. I tried to flush everything out and did something similar to what's in that other thread, gravity and flushing wise.... and yet, he hooked that power bleeder up and HOLY CRAPOLI, so much crap came out of there! lol. I had all new everything in the brakes.... so why not, right? lol. Heck, I woulda paid for it, had they asked.
Since then I replaced the pads and had a booboo, lol.... I let a piston come out too far in my New Calipers.... OOPS! lol. So, I used a Powerbuilt Bleeding Kit and it worked great.
Sorry for rambling on your thread, B, ...just curious.... Do you think that the VERY MUCH colder weather has a bit to do with difficulty in getting air out/separated from the fluid?
BTW, .....MAN THAT STUFF STINKS WHEN IT'S STAGNANT/old! lol.
