Ext. Brake Line Kit + Caliper Lines? (1 Viewer)

[LFD2037]

Need to replace my soft brake lines. Wanting to replace all 7 & not have to do any mods to get them to fit & don't want to spend $250. Found several options. MAF you have to enlarge holes so that's out. Anybody use this kit? Does it require any mods to fit?

Slee has extended lines. There is also a Toyota option using lines from different vehicles. Someone here will know the part numbers or search them, they have been posted before.

Use the OEM Toyota longer lines. Much cheaper than $250 and will last another 20 years.

I got them from @beno for the extended toyota lines.

I used the maf ss lines. Yah I had to use the grinder in the back but took two seconds per side. I'm happy with them and for $182 shipped I can't complain. If your brake booster seen better days do the rebuild on that while you have to bleed the system anyway. I felt good results on the brake peddle, much more firm.

I was going this route. I got to $110 for just the 3 body to axle lines & that doesn't include shipping. Figure the other 4 @ $33 each then I'll be @ $250 with shipping. Still may go this route, though.

***ETA*** $278.90 w/shipping for the OEM 3 extended axle to frame & 4 caliper soft lines. Seems awfully steep!
I wonder if the SS MAF @ ~$100 less is just as good?

Toyota part #'s for the 3 frame to axle extended lines:
96940-34605 x1
96940-34705 x1
90947-A2016 x1

Toyota part #'s for the 4 axle to caliper lines:
Front: 90947-02A16 x2
Rears Right: 90947-02614 x1
Rears Left: 90947-02615 x1

Oem lines are 2x thicker than the ss, just food for thought.

@LFD2037 I will agree with scottryana and other people that OEM are much better quality and will last another decade and more.

If you decide to go with OEM I have the extended kit in stock. My price is $199.99 shipped to USA
80 Series OEM Flex Brake Lines. You wont find better price for OEM Lines

Well that is a damn good price. 1 question: you have one listed twice but in 2 different locations. Is it a typo?
HOSE, FLEXIBLE, FRAME RO FRONT AXLE, LH L= 18.13" 96940-34605 X1
&
HOSE, FLEXIBLE, FRAME TO REAR AXLE L=18.13" 96940-34605 X1

Isn't one of these supposed to be 96940-34705 or did I list the wrong PN above & in my notes?

Looks like I'll be buying from you @ that price!

x2 for the Slee kit. Plug and play with OEM, 4" longer than stock, easy to order the complete set, and at $220 is competitively priced. Before you embark on this adventure read up on flare wrenches, crowsfoot wrenches, PB Blaster, and bleeding techniques. There are some frustrating aspects to this job.

I have these brakelines on my land cruiser, don't buy from that guy, it took almost 2 months to get my brakelines and when I finally got them I went to install them and none of them fit properly, the drop lines slip right out of the brackets that they clip to and the caliper lines don't have alignment pins of any kind. The plastic coating on the lines comes apart pretty quick too and looks like garbage. I tried to get him to fix the above issues and he tried saying the cruiser must have had aftermarket brackets and the extreme weather conditions around here are what caused the cracked coating. This was all before we actually had our first negative temps in over 20 years...but we hardly get below freezing here and barely ever get above 105f.... Sorry for the tirade, long story short DONT DO IT!

I had zero rust and 150K miles. I don't want to turn this into a "how to" thread, but some of the fittings are not easy to get to and even with no rust they can be difficult to break free after 18 years. A tight fitting cheap wrench can do you more justice than a loose fitting high-end wrench. It is also not always easy to get the new lines' threads started in tight spaces. There are many opinions and tools on proper bleeding techniques, which are out of scope for this thread. Do your homework, get the right tools, buy more brake fluid than you think you'll need, and budget a good chunk of your day and you'll be fine.

How do you know if the rubber hoses are bad minus a leak?

I ahve the Dorman brand lines in my Amazon cart for awhile now but none of my #'s match yours. Are yours Dorman #'s? Also, is Dorman as good as Toyota?

 

[scottryana]

@Akella hey Akella I had sent you a PM not too long ago to see if you could get the 80 series manual window mechanisms but I never heard back, I don't think I ever heard back, any info you could give would be great! Thanks!
