If you didn't lengthen any of the hoses, you shouldn't get any codes. Nice job.

Good ideas. If I get no ck eng lights when I flip the bolt I may do that. The way it's routed keeps tension off the hose since it's semi-ridged tubing it's pre-bent. Now that it's hung I can mess with the hoses. I was considering the e-brake bracket. I may take it off and see how the cables hang. Good ideas.

Thanks for all the inputs! I rerouted the e-brake cable and removed the hanger assy. The cable sets more naturally. Flipped the bolts and locktited them again.

Thanks Agin!

I think this looks good, some may say it's too close to the exahust but it's no closer than the stock location and I don't see any issue with that. The main thing is it want get crushed as easily and shouldn't get waked by as many rocks.

Yup, It's no closer to the exhaust than it was in it's other location. before the hose ran over the exhaust now the hose is next to it. Same distance too about 3 inches.

I think not having a vacuun leak is more critical than the length of the hoses. There was a thread in which a guy replaced all the stock hoses with fireproof marine grade fuel line and brass fittings. With the cheap plastic I would be concerned with stressing any of the joints. I know this because I broke one of the nipples off the fuel tank when I took it off to pound out my mangled skid plate.
