Solid lines of any kind suck to install. My 91 needed a new one between the master and slave clutch cylinders and I've never hated myself for doing it myself more. Fuggthat.

Nah, best so far was last Dec., 13.16.

I really am not looking forward to replacing the 4 remaining rotted hard lines on this fWONking thing. Had to do all 5 on an '03 at work this summer, and it was the most tedious thing I have ever done.


Going to upgrade the flex sections to stainless braided hose?

I'm going to try to get a quote for running ALL stainless braided, just because it'll cut install time down exponentially, and will actually be doable without a lift. Running hard line in the OEM location below the firewall (basically in the 2" between the frame and cab) is fWONking torture.

Not expecting it to be within my budget though. :lol: This doesn't have to be done any time soon, I have the Miata up at school, and never actually need to drive the truck this time of year.


The kit I ordered for my truck was about $100 or so shipped, IIRC... So it might not be too bad... Find a local shop that deals with high pressure hoses to get a ballpark estimate :thumbs:

Gave it a quick wax so maybe it won't get so much desert pin striping while I am deer hunting next weekend. Then I hooked up the camper pulled it around some to make sure the lights and brakes were working so I can drag it down to camp in during the hunt.

You got pics of your trailer?

117.00 dollars later, and a DEQ test, new tabs till 2013!!

Pay more than that for one year.
