Well, yesterday going to work I braked as I approached a buddy red light intersection...

And a brake line burst leaving me zero brakes,. Not even the back brakes on a separate system.

Three pumps of the brake pedal out of instinct and I hit the emergency brake. No crash.

Good thing it is a stick and I exercised the E brake often.

I was on my way to work so no time to fix.

$45 tow bill to local mechanic, $207 for two new brake lines the next day and I'm on the road again.

I hate paying for what I can do myself.

2001 TJ... A little something we call Michigan rust took it's toll on the brake lines.. one hard push and it burst wide open

I had that happen on a car once... Luckily it was in the driveway vs on my way to work.
Yeah I was going about 45 mph at the time,. Have to see if the back brakes are not adjusted proper,. They should have still worked and helped.

Changed ball joints on driver side and learned the hard way about forcing a ujoint while replacing the one on my front axle while I was at it. Now I have to wait for them to ship out another ujoint. I won’t make that same mistake on the passenger side lol

Installed a Lang hoist today so I can take the top off myself. Figured it's cheaper in the long run. By the time I invite buddies over to help me lift it off and buy the beer for them helping and they hang around and BS and drink more beer....plus have to coordinate the time for everyone one to have the time off to all get here at the same time.
So.....got I installed.... top is off. Was able to put the Jeep trailer with the roof top tent under it too.
