    Brake line replacement/ HCU routing

    Good evening, does anyone have a early TJ with ABS? I am replacing the brake lines and the PO cut some of the lines and I thought I knew where they went but after trying to install a pre bent kit (I did in fact buy one for an ABS equipped TJ) the fittings seem to be the wrong size that go into...

    Hard lines for 2000 Jeep TJ

    Hey there! Just got my first ever Jeep. A 2000 Jeep Sport with 54k miles! It is in beautiful shape but going to have to replace hard brake lines in the near(ish) future. Just wondering if anyone can point me in the right direction. I am leaning towards wanting to get pre-bent hard lines but...

    Master cylinder brake line size / fittings

    2003 Rubicon TL;DR [rounded a brake line fitting and it seems the old is bigger than 3/16. can I still use 3/16 or should I try to match the previous size? Help on identifying it? Also any help with fitting identification/verification is appreciated] So in the process of doing a brake job (...

    Anyone interested in custom machined axle brake line tabs?

    Machined weldable tabs for 3/16 hard lines, drilled and tapped. *Cost will be updated when the machine shop gets back to my supplier. Could have a batch going through the machine shop in the next few days. Looking at ordering 100, 200, or 300 pieces. With the higher probability being 100 pieces.

    Going from a 3in BL to 1.25in BL do I need new brake lines

    As stated in the title and from previous advice i am lowering my TJ from a 3in body lift to a 1.25in body lift. I will still have a 4 in suspension lift though. Do I need new steel lines for this? In my head it makes sense because lowering the body would then lower the master cylinder and move...

    Will my Dana 35 hard lines work with a Dana 44 swap?

    So please forgive me if this has been covered. I searched for a while but didn’t find an answer to my specific question. I have a 2000 Sahara, and I found a Dana 44 out of a 2001 that I’m planning on swapping out my turdy five for. Problem is they cut the hard lines of with a pair of side...

    1999 Wrangler Sport Brake Line/Drum Replacement

    The front break lines recently blew out on my 1999 Sport so I was going through and replacing all the steel lines. I have all of the new lines attached to the master cylinder and have the front lines attached to the brakes, but am having issues detaching the old rear lines from the brakes...

    What else?

    So, just had a new clutch put in and the brakes bled last week then BOOM, blew a brake line on top of a mountain. So as I limped down of the mountain in 1st and 4H there was a sharp turn. Nearly rolled it going around the corner and almost took it in a 4 foot ditch line but gave her some gas and...

    Extended Brake Lines?

    I've seen a few threads (including the great write up that Chris did) that had guys installing extended brake lines, and their rigs had varying lift heights. Is there a certain amount of lift where extended lines are a must? I'm at 3" in the front, and 2" in the rear, and wheel with the front...

    Good extended brake lines?

    Anyone have any suggestions on extended brake lines for a 4" lift?

    Extended Front Brake Lines

    Once you start getting above 3" of suspension lift on your TJ, I highly suggest replacing the brake lines with longer, extended brake lines. One option you have is shelling out some money for aftermarket extended "stainless steel" brake lines. However, another option is the readily available...
