Did a 8.8 swap in my MJ and of course got to looking about how to do the brake lines... Instead of just doing what everyone else does i did some more digging... I noticed IF the brake line was long enough for the stock 8.8 I would have been great so I looked and looked and finally found a brake line EXTENSION...

This should work with any 3/16 brake line front and back... So no more needing to find longer lines... Just add this $12 line and keep your factory buy at any parts store brake lines...

Heres the specs and pics installed on my MJ 8.8 with factory 8.8 brake lines...

Just over 12in long
Oreillys PN BH36593

for those that missed it...

 

Wait, there's a 12" brake line extension out there on the shelf and it took this long for someone to find it and share it? My hat's off to you buddy!

 

yep! cant always do what everyone else does all the time lol... im good at researching this kinda stuff so thats what i did... i wish they were kept in the stores themselves but none of mine did i dont think... i dunno what they were for originally... cant find anything that says... doesnt really matter though since im against using JY brake lines anyways (swell from the fluid and years of no use)

 

that line seems to hang down way too low for my liking.

 

i gotta drill the top hole a little or grind the points of the "nut" style line end when ours are round... one or the other... also can put a spring on it or something if need be... not a big deal...

 

and i think thats a angle... comanches up high so kinda angled down...

 

Back to yalls knowledge!

 

Wow I sure did spend a lot of time looking for a part that would allow me to re-use the 8.8 brake lines. Then I found this post. Thanks!!!

 

funny i just posted the link again on a XJ facebook page today...

no problem man! it makes things MUCH easier huh? lol

 

didnt realize its been over a year but its still on my comanche and still working fine!

 

still people missing this... maybe i should move it to the write up section?
