The Stupidist Jeep on the Planet

started to run brakelines, running most of the lines that vettboy posted in rcman's thread

the frt im running a tab off the tb bracket then i welded a tab on the housing the line will pretty much float there, i may move the tab back a little so the line dosnt touch anything

That looks a little too "right out there", especially if these guys talk you into jumping it (which will happen). How about a small piece of angle iron welded to the housing, then the splitter block mounted behind it in the horizontal plane? Or maybe a small piece of steel bent in a "U". Weld both ends of the U to the axle, with the splitter bock mounted in the middle. Might need a longer/custom brakeline though.
 
I see where your coming fronAndy, the pic may be deciving but the axxle end is groovy looking at it now I am wooried about the line getting pinched between the diff. And tb if I was to jump it I may just move it back and zip tie it to the tb so it won't go under it
 
Moved the frame end of the frt brake line behind the tb now it out of harms way of being smashed gonna eventually get a tb brace made might even be as soon as early next week but I got a lot of other things to do first
 
sick build, i dont know why i havent seen this before. nice work!
just a tip on the cup holders, dont waste your time with the one that mounts to the console right above the ebrake handle. it doesnt allow any travel of the handle, and even with the ebrake cables set pretty tight, it wont be enough, at least in my experience. i ripped mine out after a few days.

note my floors it wont have a ebrake or a center console, im plannin on making some half doors with ressed cup holders
