I remember you saying you double your line up or at least I think it was you. You could just order a new exstendo one for the front I think the numbers for it are in the tech section. I think it would work tho. if not or ya run into a jam just drop me a line and i'll get them shipped to ya.
 
Yup. You're right. I did double up there at the front where it comes down from the frame to the axle tube. I remember now. Thanks for reminding me.

Anyway, I just found out there is a local place that will make custom lengths same day so I'm gonna give 'em a call and see what up. I'll get back to ya.

Thanks again man.

Do yourself a favor and get rid of the junction at the backing plate. PITA! Just run the flexible hose from the axle to the caliper. I just did this and I used the part #38881 and it was a bit longer than I thought it was. It is actually the same line that goes from the frame to the axle. I'd use the shorter one.

Most likely Napa will have to special order these. When I ordered mine 2 weeks ago, there was 1 of them that they showed in the country. If they have to order them from the mfg, then it will be like 2 weeks. You can use the same hose off of a mini truck or a 60/62. If you have access to any parts trucks you can just pull them off.

Yup and Yup

I did this and will be bypassing the junction block on the backing plate as well!

Mine arrived today but took almost took weeks after i ordered them on www.napaonline.com (where i order most of my crap). They do look awfully freaking long!

Hey Ferg, check out: www.napaonline.com in the future! It bypass's the entire process of dealing with parts monkeys!!! Very cool site, once you get the hang of how to find s*** on it!

Thanks
 
Cool Mangler. You musta been the dirty rat that got the last ones...! I actually did order mine from napaonline. I've used 'em quite a bit. I just can't stand to wait any longer for 'em. I found some local stuff that looks like it's gonna work for me. I'll find out tomorrow for sure.

Hey, you're doin' the 4runner calipers right? What did you figure out for a brake master cylinder?

About a month ago, I pulled the frame to axle lines front/back off of a buddy's parts FJ62.

Then I ordered the 38881 part from napa.

I was a bit suprised to find that when I picked up the package at napa, it was the exact same part that I pulled from the parts truck. Exactly. Kinda felt dumb for paying for a part that i already had. :bounce:
 
Hey Guys

Just and FYI! I installed all my brake lines today and the part #'s yall gave me worked like a charm! Thanks a bunch!
 
So does that mean that you installed your 4Runner calipers too? How 'bout your master cylinder? Which m/c did you go with? Is your axle under your rig yet? I'm just wonderin' how the m/c is workin' if you've got it all together...

I just installed my 4runner calipers yesturday and the brakes are way squishy. I bought a new m/c for a 4Runner (which a buddy around here used on his 40 when he went with the 4runner calipers and he says it works great), but I didn't have a chance to pick up a reservoir for it yet so I couldn't change it out yet. Hopefully tomorrow.

As to the brake lines, I did have mine made up by the local place and they turned out great. I had them made double the length of the stock ones and they turned out perfect if you ask me.

Yeah, my brakes are WAYYYY squishy too! We are going to try to rebleed them but i am pretty damn sure, the MC has to be replaced! The truck Stops great, but you almost have to stand on the pedal, NO good!

Anyway, many more details and pics coming soon!

Thanks
 
Well, its a catch 22 for me. I will be installing a complete 80 series rear (with e locker and discs) in a month or 2 and will at that time be installing a 80 series MC. SOOOOO the question is, what do i do in the meantime? I dont think an 80 MC would work to well with my current rear drums and i dont wanna install the 4 Runner MC and then remove it in a few months, i dunno man!

SOA is done and pics are coming soon
 
Ah. I forgot you were going 80 series rear. Good move. :cool: Sounds like you might have to put in the 4Runner one for now and then change to the 80 when you get the 80 rear. Damn. I shoulda done an 80 rear. Anyone wanna buy an SOA 60 series rear FF with e-locker....? Oh well.

I wasn't able to do my m/c today. But tomorrow it's awn.

And man mangler, at this rate, I might just have my lockers all wired up before you get pics of your SOA progress up... :flipoff2:
