    If tundra breaks bolt right up then you have aftermarket brakes in those years that will work also.

    If you're talking about 13WLs I'm gonna love your face when you realize you spent $500 and bought the same calipers that now need another $100 or so in lines to bolt on...

    Go crawl under your truck and look at the back of the caliper, down low. 13WG is a 13WL with a different angle to the line fitting.

    Why not upgrade by replacing the lines first? That's usually the easiest most effective upgrade on a motorcycle.

    Because stock is obviously superior to any aftermarket options.
    That was sarcasm btw

    AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA this thread hurts my brain

    Lines do not give you added braking power.

    My OR brakes are very powerful and I feel no need to upgrade. metalic pads might be nice to reduce initial bite.

    True, but they do reduce brake fade and improve brake feel. Rubber lines expand more as the heat in the fluid increases. This expansion changes the feel of the pedal and requires more pedal to for the same result. Steel lines eliminate this effect.

    even with rear disks it can look wonky if the disks are small

    Wow it's been a while since I saw some Ohlin shocks. Last time I saw some was on my Duc that I sold.
