    I already posted this question in my build, but I think this covers more area (not everybody watches my thread :().
    I installed the brake lines in the rear axle and I would like to know other than a bubba rig, what is the best way to affix them to the axle to prevent vibrations which most likely cause line failure?
    Thanks!

    I don't think they had much stock. I thought my ranger had spring clips welded to the tube.
    On some axle build videos I've seen guide tubes added and such.
    I would use a rubber lined band to hold the line at 12 and 3 o'clock on the diff cover. then big tubing clamps around the axle tube with the brake line protected by fuel hose.
    the u-bolts could have a u shaped clip with grommets in slots.

    Good idea...Just slice the hose length wise, don't worry about trying to slip it over the ends.
