Mine was leaking where the metal crimps on the rubber hose. I cut the crimped end off and slid it over the fuel rail with a high pressure hose clamp and that was several years ago still doing well.

Nott looking forward to the idea of wiring a full system in. I'm really hoping it's just junk speakers.

Fresh brakes all around, new driver's seat gears to fix the forward back adjustment, and what seems to be just the beginning of an ongoing saga I'm gonna call the O2 debacle. Upon further review I believe the vehicle side of the connector for the downstream O2 is broken. Hoping to source one at the salvage yard if possible. Pretty sure it is the culprit. Really wish I hadn't cut the wires on the original O2 . Thought it was bad didn't notice the connector till too late. Also need to address the radio situation. It is the infinity gold system which I am learning adds to the difficulty. I have no sound from the rear speakers and no fm reception at all. Hoping bad speakers in the rear doors and an aftermarket head unit will do the trick. Anyone else been down this road in a ZJ before?

Does it rub on both sides or just one? I have seen a front end alignment issue cause rubbing in only one direction. I didn't see it started, are you using factory wheels?

I seem to remember the rem was reading rich, but would have to check for sure. It has been stashed away in the back of the shop for the remainder of the salty season. I'll report back.

Would that be a patina wrap?

Dunno if it helps any but I feel like my 4.10's are a great match to 31's

Had to park this one for a few days after losing the paper temp plate. Could have gotten another but have plenty of other stuff to drive. Gave me a chance to replace what I thought was a faulty downstream O2 sensor. Turns out it was an issue with the connector. One pin had pushed out and was corroded badly. Waiting on the permanent plate to arrive and back on the road it will go.

Well today was oil change day so it got a dose of fresh 10w30 rotella and a brand new wix filter. I was running 15w40 but can't stop the valve cover leak. Curious if it is a flooding issue with the heavy weight oil not draining. I'll have a report after a few days of driving. Also changed the sway bar bushings for some Amazon cheapos. Gotta be better than the old factory ones, and they match the paint sort of.

I have been using rock auto for almost 10yrs and just got mine.

Title transfered, plates on it, tools in the back. I'm gonna drive it to work today. This begins the shakedown to see what else I need to address, before turning it over to the wife.

Not impossible, I can find you a handful rather quickly, but I know where they are stashed. Lol. They are easier to find than that dadgum ac line.

I used permatex to glue on my ZJ mirror, and it's still there. To be honest I haven't had it out of the driveway\shop since I glued it. We will see if it stays.

Why not wire in a factory xj dome? Don't they have a single isolated dome light for the rear? Would for sure look factory.

+1 for the all Bilstein crew here. Don't think I would buy anything else. Very pleased with mine.

There are dimensions on here somewhere for stock ride height, I would start there and see just how much lift you have. If you want stock height I would just go back to stock parts. I'm sure there are probably even some members with stock stuff laying around they are willing to part with. Hard to say what all was changed without seeing it. Got any pictures of the current setup?

I'd change the hoses next.

No problem. I was pleasantly surprised with how "original" it looked. Makes driving fun.

Absolutely no changes. I could swap it back anytime.

Absolutely one of my favorite mods I have. But it wasn't $400 when I did it.

That was the reason I changed my hoses and pump. I only needed a steering gear but figured I'd never get the nasty old fluid flushed from the system so my best idea was all new system and fluid.

I recently replaced pump, box and hoses on mine. I had no power steering at first. Had to jack the front end up to take the weight off and work the wheel a few times to get fluid worked. Took a bit to bleed all the air but turns like butter now.

The line I am looking for goes from the drier to the evaporator. It is not available unless custom made.

That's the hose that is commonly available. The unobtainuim hose is there one in my picture above. This hose you linked is unfortunately not the hose I'm looking for.

Is there a flare tool available to remake the flare on the steel line? I don't recall how the flare looks on my broken one. Edit: the flare looks like a flattened bubble flare. I would rather remake the entire line like the original,than to go all rubber if I can. Here is a pic of my broken unicorn.
