Make sure you cut the length to account for flex...measure twice, cut once. Also use some old water hose to insulate the hp line from rubbing on the frame or steering components. Good luck!

Re: Figuring out the plumbing :-)
So it's coming along nicely except... Where do people fit the reservoir? I could cut a hole in the hood like Dennis did and make it fit that way, but would rather not. Anyone found a way to squeeze it in? I know my underhood "situation" is a bit out of the ordinary...

Re: Figuring out the plumbing :-)
I think his hot water heater is there
The reservoir he has is also a bit larger than the one you showed, they did a redesign on it recently:

Re: Figuring out the plumbing :-)
Tony, not a bad thought, but the Duncan's right, the heater is there! I spoke with Mr. Blaine today and he had some good thoughts about moving around part of the cruise control to make it fit on the fender. But Kurt is right, it's going to be a shoehorn job...

I'll take a picture of mine in the morning but it's on the drivers fender between the brake booster and the cruise solenoid.

If I was rich I'd have a garage to work in so I don't have to do all this work to my jeep in a muddy driveway.

Re: Figuring out the plumbing :-)
Maybe you need a major redesign? Can you move some of your under hood "stuff" to the back of the Jeep? Move the battery(ies) to behind the seats, that will free up a bunch of space for you. Maybe also move the windshield washer pump and reservoir to the back also?
