the pics are all jumbled up. but they shoudl give you a good idea of whats going on.



The sheet metal tabs that hold the brake lines are just like factory ones. upon final install they will be bent and hold the lines in place.

Also i put on 2 more coats of paint after the pics were taken.

95geo

the brake lines look cool but i think your going to have a problem getting all of the air out unless you bleed them on a 45* angle.

care to explain how 90% of all other vehicles are capable of doing it?

Vermin
05-07-2007, 04:49 PM
I think he's refering to your high spots in the the hardline where you bent it to follow the contour of the axle brace. I wouldn't sweat it - don't think it'll be an issue at all.

Kraqa
05-07-2007, 08:42 PM
dude i'm not worried about it at all.

i've dont lines in a similar fation beofre woth zero problems. I just wanted to know why he thought this woudl be a problem.

Kraqa
05-08-2007, 06:43 PM
we can end the string of brake line comments now if you guys want. it will work fine. i dont' need every second person stating their opinion.


THanks for the props mike. I can't wait to see what yours looks liek when its done. we gotta hit the trails in the zuks this summer!!!

EHeye
05-09-2007, 10:07 AM
I dont know if the brakes will bleed as well... It just doesnt make sense, why would someone go through all that trouble to have no brakes in the rear!! :shaking:

Make sure you fill those steering stops to keep them from crushing.If they crush,it will not be good for your birfields!

ok so here they are.

The rear shocks are getting changed tonight. cause wel they were thrown on quickly to get Kelsey Rolling. I still need to do exhaust but with this 4 link i should have no problem outting the stock muffler back on.

THen rock sliders, rear bumper and fender protection. Oh and i will be putting in a cross support spanning the top of the shock towers over the motor, this will be removable as you well know.

:flipoff2:

Turned out really good Kraq. Now go get some real tires, maybe ones that dont leak. :grinpimp:

It flexed really good when we tested it out, and it drove really well, little under powered, but it drove nice. :smokin:
