    Anyone done this?

    I am going to run a new fuel line and am thinking about replacing the factory brake line, my thought off the bat was use stainless and forget about it but I can't find any no matter how hard I look. I thought it would be an easy find but no, my question then turned into, is this something I can do, and has anyone else done it.

    well I'm askin if anyone has done it where is a good supply?

    Ridgid steel has SS brake lines for these I have installed them on mine! As far as fuel line better off to make your own SS line avalible from 4WD.

    I thought of that but the cost was high for what I found, it was like I can use standard and go for about 30 or go SS and it be about 150. I didnt think for me it was wortht he extra $$, I may do it later on but the standard ones are ok for now.

    Considering the lifespan of plain plated steel lines, stainless seems like a waste of money. Are you going to own your Jeep for another 25 years? Will you use your Jeep as a daily driver for the next 25 years every winter on heavily salted roads?
