DirtyComanche Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Well. it's pretty simple. I've got stainless front lines from Rusty's (came with the horrid kit) but no brackets for them. It seems I can't find the brackets anywhere locally, and I think it'd be a pain to order them. So, do you think I could get away with YJ lines and dropped brackets? Thats with 7"~ of lift and what appears to be a very flexy suspension setup... For the price of shipping and the time it would take me, these are easiest as they are in stock locally, and not too expensive. It's that or if I can find someplace that will sell me just the brackets, and ship to Canada...
pingpong Posted April 17, 2006 Posted April 17, 2006 Call Matt at Independent4x. I think he xan get you longer lines, and the brackets you need, and YES he does ship to Canada. I think he does that once a week. He can also have the lines custom made for you. That means any length. Remember too long, is better then too short. You can always use springs to keep you brake lines out the way. Patrick
DirtyComanche Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 I'll give him a try. Hmm, next problem... Any good way to turn the adjusting sleeve on the stock drag link? I need to turn mine about 20 times, I've managed to get it around about once using pliers. I then thought I'd make things easy and weld some flat bar onto it so I could turn it with a regular old wrech. Turns out it's cast. I'm not wasting my nickel rod on that. I guess I could buy the proper tool? (Whatever that is)
DirtyComanche Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 Maybe... The problem is it's a cyclindrical sleeve. It'll just slip. I think. That's why I was going to weld the flat bar on it. I really don't want to waste my nickel rod. I have trouble getting it.
Pete M Posted April 18, 2006 Posted April 18, 2006 Um, pipe wrenches are *designed* to handle cylindrical objects. (cough-PIPES-cough) :D
DirtyComanche Posted April 18, 2006 Author Posted April 18, 2006 I was thinking the other type... Damn, I'm an idiot. Well, let's see if I have any of those here. I have a sinking feeling they're all 150Km away at our cabin...

DirtyComanche Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 That worked well. Only issue was that I then backed it out of the garage without brakes, but forgot to close my door... Yeah, so, umm, doorless until I fix the hinge pins. (Yes, I am just reaffirming my previous statement that I am an idiot.)
DirtyComanche Posted April 19, 2006 Author Posted April 19, 2006 Well, the funny thing is they already were... Ohwell. Nothing a sledgehammer and some cussing won't fix.
