Making some more progress in the afternoons... I got the flares pulled off to give me more access and to start cleaning the body/frame up. I will need to push the Jeep out of the garage once the motor is pulled to give it a thorough power wash, so I'll need my brakes working (see steep driveway post above!).
You can see above that the hoses on the OEM calipers comes from the rear. The 14B however comes from the front, so I need to think about how I need to route them...
Just thinking about overall fitment and protection, the above seems like it would be the best option.
This was my first inclination, but I think the control arms are going to be problematic in the long term, and the hose would need to be filed down a bit since the block at the end of the hose is about 1/32" too long and the bolt won't sit centered.
This is less obvious but does take out some length of these Metalcloak hoses and lets me route it around the springs a little better. However, I think the lower control arm would end up hitting at full droop.
In my attempt to "cross one thing off the list per day", I was able to get the axle shafts cleaned, painted, and installed before calling it a day. Unfortunately, I forgot the can of Rustoleum Flat Black wasn't actually flat black, so it's got more shine than I like, but I'll hit it with some steel wool once it's fully cured to knock the shine down a bit.
