I've been battling with trying to get this thing to run right. If you remember, a while back I had to replace the intake boot thanks to a big tear.

Well I was having similar symptoms. I had no clue what it was. Vacuum leak, timing issue, fuel issue. I was under the hood digging around trying to find something and well, I found it.

Someone (me) didn't do so hot of a job installing that intake boot. Whoops. It was creased back up towards the filter housing. I feel stupid but I'd rather have this than a $100+ issue.

Now to fix a little exhaust leak and and she'll be in top notch shape!

Close up of the little rigging I had to do. I couldn't find proper little ball stud (whatever it's called) to fit in on this side. Soooo. I used a small M4 bolt in its place.
The order from right to left is: M4 bolt, M4 washer, M4 nylon lock nut, M4 washer, 3/16 washer, bracket, 3/16 washer, M4 washer, M4 nylon nut. It works!

That's really slick. I bet it's nice not messing with the hood prop rod anymore.

In case anybody hasn't heard about the brake calamity, my brakes failed while trailing URE. After further inspection, I've found the cause of the issue. My banjo fitting is rubbing (and sometimes catching enough to cause a leak) on my coilover.

As I was turning hard driver, my driver side wheel articulated up and caught on the coilover causing it to bend and cause a leak, seen in the third picture.

What can I do? Is adjusting the turn stops my only option? What do you guys think?

These are the only ones I got. I'm thinking if maybe I route that brake line counterclockwise and have it going straight down instead of between those 2 grooves it may miss the coilovers all together.

Okay, I can see where it's hitting now. Can you not change the angle of the hose fitting? Most calipers leave room a for a bit of adjustment. It looks like if you could tilt the fitting up about 30 degrees you'd be golden.

Hmm I'll look into that. You may be right.

My .02 is to get brackets and move those coilovers up on top of the axle like the Calmini kit has them.

Well, the brake line is on and it's driving! For the first time in over 3 weeks. There are still some problems that need to be addressed. The way I have it routed now, puts the brake line right up against the tire when turned for driver. I'm thinking a soft spring anchored on the frame will keep the line out of all harms way.

That'll have it ready to go for the road, off road still needs a little more work. If you notice in the first picture, I have the line pointing straight down. I THINK that will keep it off the coil. I'm still gonna have to jack it up at different angles to try and find the worst case scenario and make sure it passes before it sees dirt again.

Other than that, I believe it's good. Definitely missed driving it the past 3+ weeks.

The fan is installed and (almost) wired up! Still waiting on my OTRATTW switch that'll match my ARB locker switches before I can completely wire it up.

Sweet man. I've got two small ones that I've been wanting to install in front too. Just haven't gotten to it yet. Let me know how it goes for you. Maybe it'll motivate me to install mine. Lol

A little late night wiring to prep for switches.

I thought I had a few of these laying around but I could only find this one. I'll pick one up tomorrow at work and wire it up for the grounds.
