Thank You. Both pieces fell out of the passenger side. Could see the outline of on piece on the other. Kinda figured they did just jam them in there but was not sure.

Going with a 4.5 inch lift on the heep while replacing the 8.25 completely. Will a 95 YJ rear brake line (with junction) be an appropriate length for my using? Or should I go with longer? Also going to be using hard brake line for back then. What diameter should I be using?

Thanks in advance

I personally wouldn't use the yj brakeline at 4.5". I had it at 3", but it seems just short enough to need replacing at 4.5". You can probably get away with it, but I definitely needed front lines so I got a crown automotive stainless line set.

How often do our evaporator coils fail? Especially the older R12 units? Thanks!

The one in my '92 appears to be the OE and it's going strong.

**** that hurt my brain to read.

I'd start by checking the harness that plugs into the O2 sensor, broken/pinched wires, etc.

Made it just a smidge easier to read chief. Good luck! Also, check the wiring going to your O2 sensor. Mine somehow cracked at one point. Had to fix it. Very possible considering your engine dropped.

Question. Where have you guys gotten good battery clamps to use with extra aux lighting, etc. The ones with a wig nut to hold all the wires down. My side posts are starting to strip on my battery and until I get another battery I need something temporary for now.
