Im semi restoring a ZJ laredo that sat for 7 years in the weeds. It was given to me and id have scrapped it by now but it was my cousin's and she absolutly loves this jeep and i want nothing more then to get it back on the road for if anything just to make her happy.

It fired up when i popped a battery in but the fuel pump died due to the old fuel in it im sure, so i have to replace that.

I replaced all of the brakes, new drums, new hardware, new rotors and calipers, everything. But in doing the rear i broke the brake lines on both sides. is there a place where i can just by the rear hard lines? I could just repair what i have but i feel a bit better if i just replaced it all.

The transfer case will not shift, ive soaked the linkages, even hammered on them but it will not go into 4wd. it has the 231J tcase, if im going to take the time to pull it, is there a better tcase to throw in? or should i just stick with the tcase i have?

With the fuel pump, the line coming out of the tank to the inline fuel filter, can i run a soft line to that? or should i stick with the hard plastic line? The one on there is either cracked, or got beat up by a critter.

THanks guys.

You can get the pre-bent hard brake and fuel lines from the dealership. As far as the t-case I'm not sure what you should do about that.

If you plan on driving a bit more I would change ALL of the fluids soon.
