    I’m bleeding the brakes, starting with back right tire, first try a little bit of fluid came out, maybe 1/4 cup max, repeated tries nothing else coming out from this brake and fluid level is not going down, is this normal? Still have pressure when pressing the brake pedal

    The next step I would take is go over to the opposite wheel and try. Then if still nothing. Loosen the main brake line to the drum wheel cylinder. You may need new ones?

    Nice SUV, I really like your lift, wheel selection. I’ve thought about lifting but have been in a couple near misses where I really needed handling and lower center of gravity...maybe someday...

    About 2” lift, entry level, tires are 265’s, sufficient for our needs, not a monster lift but just enough clearance! Looks high because I’m short, we added some running boards since this pic was taken.
