Literally just snapped my front right brake line. It's steel braided extended brake line for a 4.5" short arm lift. Obviously, I have no breaks.. I managed to get it out of the trail tho (long story) and it's parked in a neighborhood parking lot right by the trails. It's under video surveillance (camera is literally pointed right at my xj). I need to get this fixed tmrw.. Would a stock break line work for time being? Need help any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!!!

as long as the connection fittings are okay then the regular one should work if you're just going to drive straight home on the streets.... don't forget to take tools to bleed your brakes, extra brake fluid, and some container to catch any spillage, you don't want to just drop it all over the ground since you're under surveillance, you wouldn't want any b******* happening you know?

Yes stock length will work.
Your gonna hafta bleed the **** out of them. Good luck

I'd recommend grabbing a stock brake hose from a YJ, it's 3" longer than an XJ line.

Right I was goin to say same thing. You still got rear brakes its better then nothin. Drive home slowly and know its safe and home better then a camera watching it. It wouldn't stop me if I wanted it bad enough.

I use 96 chevy 2wd front break lines on mine and they are plenty long and easy to get at parts store.

Those fit? Damn that's good then I will try and get some of those if not then I will get the YJ lines. Yeah i tried the vice grip and bled them a bit and still didn't work. Line snapped right where it's connected to frame. I have no ride right now and I need to get there soon.. Damn this is killing me!!
