Default Need Help Fixing this Hose-thingy to my Axle

Can I fix this myself or should I just bring it into the dealer?

There should be some clips on the frame by the passenger rear tire. If you can't find them, zip tie it along the frame away from your suspension components. It is a breather tube for the axle. Replacement clips should be cheap though.

Like jkmarine said, ziptie it to the frame. Then go to the hardware and get some about 15ft of 1/4in fuel line and extend those puppys up higher Front and rear. Get some small band clamps also for where it goes on the axle nipple.

+1 you're halfway there to extending them just do what mkjeep suggests and bringing those higher.

haha. Easy enough. Thanks! I knew it wasn't a supper big deal, but definitely glad to know it's a 1-2-3.

If you don't extend it, at least put a clamp on the bottom.
