"and hit everything along the way" lol. I'm not sure why that was so funny to me. I'm soon to have a 2002 SR5. I've been watching your videos and they are super helpful even before I can actually touch the vehicle. Thanks, dude!

Lol. Anytime bud! Thanks for watching

Saved for later! Adding a 3 inch OME lift. Really need to replace these 20 year old brake lines.

@PhoRunner 2 года назад

Indeed!

Hi from Australia. Thank you for the video, I followed it to replace my lines just now. The one above the rear axle was a bit painful but it all went well.

@rjat5813 4 года назад

Thank you for your videos. There are so few Gen3 how-to videos out here. Love my 1996.

@PhoRunner 4 года назад

Nice yeah. There were very few when I got my 3rd gen. So I decided to share some of my mods.

@burnhags2572 2 года назад

@3G4Runner_N_Gunner Год назад

I know this is an old vid but you mentioned using tundra hose on rear. Any idea what year? I'm assuming first gen tundra? Also the 01-02 has two rear brake hoses, does only the top one need to be extended if using the Tundra hose? I know SRQ has both in their kit but I'd prefer sticking with rubber hoses if possible.

@PhoRunner Год назад

Check my rear brake line video. It’s just the one hose in the middle. 2000-2006 tundra hose is the longer one

@3G4Runner_N_Gunner Год назад

@@PhoRunner I'll check that out thanks.

@BobetoSlim 4 года назад

Just picked up my 96, 4wd w rear diff lock. Im super excited to have some fun w it. One problem, brakes are super squishy/spongy. It has new brake booster and master cyl. brake lines look very cracked and old tho. I really hope swapping the lines out and getting a good bleed fixes it.

@PhoRunner 4 года назад

Check out my brake line video. Super easy to change

@plutosforest 3 года назад

Late comment, but IMO all the 3rd gen brakes are squishy, especially compared to 4th and 5th gens. If it's your first 3rd gen you might be surprised. I've had a 98 and currently a 2000, and both had that spongy/squishy feel.

@BobetoSlim 3 года назад

@@plutosforest ya my brakes were really squishy and front rotors were warped. But i replaced the rotors and swapped all the brake lines to SS braided ones, flushed the brake fluid, and feels way more responsive now

@eljefeslash 2 года назад

Another great, helpful video! I've already purchased those same front brake lines in anticipation of installing them when I do the Tundra brake upgrade on my '98. I just lifted my 2004 Tacoma, and Wheeler's told me I shouldn't get an extended brake line b/c my lift wouldn't be enough to need it (2.25-3.0"). Well, they were wrong, that brake line ended up being pretty sketchy after the lift, so I bought the new one like yours and feel much better now with the extra stretch. I will say, on my Tacoma, that top part of the line runs over to the driver side frame, and there is all kinds of junk up in there (rear locking diff mechanisms, etc.), and it was nearly impossible to get my flare nut wrench up there. But, of course, the nut was stuck, leading to all kinds of fun. Regardless, thanks, again, for the great clear video and tips!

@PhoRunner 2 года назад

Nice! Glad it worked out!

@ThangNguyen-ti3js 4 года назад

What year tundra line did you mention, i watched the video over and over. Love your vids its helping me on my vehicle alot.

Check the wheeler website. They have it on there. 2000-2005 I believe

Your video was helpful. Thank you. I like your tire and wheel combo. Can you share the wheel manuf./specs and size of the tires? I would greatly appreciate it. Ive been running 265/75r with stock wheels for years (with same lift specs as you) but looking to fill the wheel well with a bigger tire now that the 4Runner is no longer my dd. Thanks!

Hello. I have a 2002 that I’m replacing the lines on. I was wondering if I need to have the key turned over when taking off the lines off or just when I go to bleed them? Thank you

@jacktran960 3 года назад

I installed SS lines on my TSX and it makes a difference even on light to medium braking pressure. Ik it's not bad pads or air in the lines since I've already bled the car and replaced the pads and rotors 8k miles ago.

@PhoRunner 3 года назад

Been pretty happy with mine. Stops these 34 muds very good

@cesarcaro8141 2 года назад

Good afternoon, a question. I am looking for steel rear brake lines for my 2017 runner, are the rear brake lines the same extended lines? or have another location.

@PhoRunner 2 года назад

You’ll want to measure yours and buy a longer one. I believe the thread pitch are going to be same

@s0lsh1n 2 года назад

My 16 4R brakes are mushy would this help tighten them. Did you notice anything?

@PhoRunner 2 года назад

I didn’t notice much. You might need to bleed your brakes

@jakedavid8187 2 года назад

Thanks for the vid very helpful. Got a question...so you by chance know how long your new lines were? I tried to replace my original fronts with what the parts house locally had for my car, they were shorter. My "stock" ones are about 12", is that about the length? The rear one is definitely longer so that is not a problem

@PhoRunner 2 года назад

I’ll check it later for ya. I don’t recall off the top of my head

@jakedavid8187 2 года назад

@@PhoRunner man! I appreciate it. Thanks

@PhoRunner 2 года назад

So the front is about 11-12” so likely what this got is fine. The front doesn’t need to be extended.

@caesargorospe7168 2 года назад

just curious. How are these wheelerofforad brake lines working for you after using for a while??

@PhoRunner 2 года назад

Works great!!!’ No fuss and brakes are solid still

@caesargorospe7168 2 года назад

Good to hear it working out. I got the same red brake lines, but still have not installed it. I wanted to do tundra brake upgrade, but not sure it would fit in my 16 inch oem 5 star wheel,

16” star will fit just make sure the balancing weights won’t hit it but it’ll fit with the bigger tundra brake upgrade

@Eternal_Life69 3 года назад

What was the purpose of replacing the two front brake lines?

@PhoRunner 3 года назад

The lines are longer for lifted vehicles I believe and a firmer brake pedal due to metal lines instead of rubber.

@TooBluunt 3 года назад

So I’m leaking brake fluid an my brake pedal is soft and I’m literally pushing it all the way down to stop Do you think it’s my break lines, master cylinder or brake booster?

@PhoRunner 3 года назад

Hmm do you see a leak anywhere forming?

@TooBluunt 3 года назад

PhoRunner Channel I can see fluid an it looks like it’s coming from the brake booster an the cylinder but I’m not sure. I just know it drips down on the driver side

@PhoRunner 3 года назад

Sounds like your master cylinder is going. The booster doesn’t have any fluid in it unless it’s leaking from the master cylinder

I believe you just need the harness on engine side. I’ve never done one before so I can’t be sure.
