new brakes?

Those will look good behind those wheels

 

You can make it work without it.
The correct way is to buy the kit with the short S hard lines, metal brackets and new SS lines. Thats in the near future for mine

 

I have not read anything that allows you to use your existing brake lines(im sure someone on here can chime in if im wrong). I went ahead and purchased Wheelers offroad front and rear tacoma brake lines. From what I've seen and read the banjos on the front brake lines from wheelers are just small enough to be used on the tundra calipers. I went with 13wl calipers from NAPA

 

Shit. I just had new ss extended lines installed. I dont want to have to buy another set.

Yours will work fine. I've been running stock lines for 6 months

 

from what company ? It wouldn't hurt to give them a try to see if it bolts up fine and no leaks... worst case scenario you'll have to just buy new front lines and sell the ones in the front you have now and buy more brake fluid.

 

Trail gear or low range off road.

 

So, is there another set of hardlines that are just on the calipers themself?

 

Was heading to toyota here in about an hour and need to know what all to pick up. All i have are the wl13 calipers.

 

you dont need to use the hardlines if you used the wheelers offroad lines.

 

Ya they go from calipers to knuckle. If you look at @Timmah! s video you can see tjem.

 

I believe wheelers still uses banjo fitting. Its just thicker so you don't have to drill banjo bolt.

 

if you look on page 2 post #31 on this thread you can see that @Sicyota04 just used the lines from wheelers and didnt have to use a hardline.

 

I used Wheeler's SS lines and the banjo bolts they came with bottomed out in the calipers prematurely. It was really close, like a mm too long on the drive side and maybe 2mm on the passenger. They looked like they were tight but the line could still turn freely around the bolt. I had to double up the washers with a couple of extra crush washers I had lying around from another brake job. Not ideal, and I kinda wish I had put down the extra money for the LCE hard lines.

I've read that the Wheeler's lines work fine for some people, I think it just comes down to the casting of your particular calipers.

 

The casting needs to fairly smooth and flat.

 

hopefuly i dont have that problem but i guess we will soon know once EBC hurries up and get me the right damn rotor i need

 

Anyone tried this with ToytecSS brake lines? I've had them installed for about a year. If they won't work I'm gonna order Wheelers lines. Trying to get all parts on hand before I start this up grade. Here's the link !

They wont be any different then the stock lines as far the banjo fitting. They'll work if your casting is fairly smooth and straight were it seals. You might have to drill banjo bolt a little or use thicker copper washers.

 

When you say drill banjo bolts. What do you mean exactly? Drill the hole where the fluid passes thru?
