@Atwalz I tried for months to get hold of Duiser for their kit. Have they replied to you?

 

[Atwalz]

@TexAZ I haven't heard back yet from duiser off road.

I received Camburg control arms.

 

[TexAZ]

Camburg is good stuff!!
Don't hold your breath eating for driver.
The stop tech works well.
Maybe @RS6tofj80 has the part numbers used.

I try to neither eat for drivers, nor hold my breath......

(hehe...ain't auto-correct great?)

 

[Atwalz]

Haha he meant waiting for duiser.

 

[TexAZ]

Grrr...trying to type and wrangle two kids.

 

[RS6tofj80]

Duiser is a waste of time in my experience unless you are local to them ....

 

[Mogwai]

Can some pls post the Stoptech part #s? I'm looking to order these brake lines in preparation for Tundra front end conversion as well.

@Taco2Cruiser used some braided SS lines he obtained from Hawk as mentioned in his post attached below - scroll half way down the page and you'll see a pic of the post install SS brake lines - might be another avenue for sourcing
Rock Crawler to Overlander

 

[Atwalz]

I called my credit card company to put a stop on payment for Duiser.com as they are not responding to emails about item in stock or status of shipping or acknowledging they have received an order. Search for SS brake line continues. I need them at least +4" longer than stock length. I emailed stop tech directly and waiting for response.

Just found out that Stop Tech does not offer extended brake line service.

 

[TexAZ]

I checked at lunch. I ordered goodridge kit.

Goodridge G-Stop Brake Line Kit; 2in Extended Line; 6 Line Kit TOYOTA LAND CRUISER

the +2 in the front was more than enough. The rear fittings work, but the mounting plates are off. I had to make some twists and bends to get the rear lines installed.

all-n-all, the kit works well.

Crown Performance: Stainless Steel Brake Lines - Braided Hoses for Cars, Trucks & SUV

Anybody used these Crown performance SS brake lines in past in other applications?

Thanks for link. I endup ordering the 4" extended lines. I will mess around the brackets in the rear to make it work.

I am planning on adding protection to rear lower control arm front mount with a skid similar to this one.

And shock shin guard to protect shock shaft.

 

[Taco2Cruiser]

^^^ you asked if anyone has used Crown SS brake lines. I've ran many of them and never had a problem. They they do put a plastic layer over the line which has always split about a year after purchase. This has been on about 20 lines.

I have the Goorridge lines on my 200, and they fit like stock. Not sure what was mentioned about a backing plate issue. The plates on those line can be moved up and down the line, they are designed for that.

For those skids, I think they are absolutely necessary, I had both on my FJ, be carful with that design of shock armor. When I would hit the shock armor on a rock, it would twist the armor and the "shin guard" portion would drive itself into the control arm, taking a very big chuck of material with it. So if you build something like that I would recommend also tying it to the axle housing, not just the shock lower bolt to prevent the armor from rotating.

 

[Atwalz]

Yes there is way to tie that shock shin guard to axle housing. We saw that issue with bp51 shin guard at the top of world trail in Moab. Thanks for feedback on crown performance.

 

[Atwalz]

Here few examples that can be improved upon.

THMotorsports don't have extended Goodridge ss brake lines in stock. I did not wanted to play waiting game. Now working with Crown Performance to get them custom made. They have rear ones but not front. I need to measure the stock length of the front brakes lines and supply the information to Crown. Maybe 3rd time will be charm.

@Atwalz I just got my icons back from rebuild. They sent the lower bushings for a landcruiser, even though I specifically stated more than once it was going on Tundra arms. The bushings are different. Ask them for the tundra parts. LC won't work the rear part needs to be very thin. Here's a pic for comparison

 

[Atwalz]

@TexAZ Got it. I didn't knew front bushings were different. I know rear shocks lower mounts are different.
