You can buy extended brake lines through richard at 4x4 Engineering. He is somewhere on this board... somewhere. I put some of his on my hilux and they work fine, my brother also has them. They are about double the length of stock and are 44$ each from memory.

Remember that a hilux only needs three of them, not four.

I can not understand why you guys want to spend money on shait like longer brake lines.

I posted it the other time about how you can use rear hilux brake lines and they just screw straight into the front ones, cost like $8.00 for two!!!!

dont you know anything? It is all about spending more money than the next guy!!!!

If you have a hilux that you have spent $25000 on and someone else has spent $45000 on theirs, who's is better?? Spending good money on things like that quickly push up the total, therefore making your rig better! :wink:

You really have to learn! :roll: :finger:

I am currently having naked woman panel van art airbrushed onto my camshaft lobes. That should push the numbers up a bit.

Try not to have too much excess line as it all expands and takes up the pressure from the master cylinder and gets you a squishy pedal.
