I know Greg was talking about this a while back. Just think its a good idea to get the hoses away from any dirt or moisture. Seems like built in failure. The braided hose would last way longer. Just like braided brake lines. Think I will get a braided line for the rpg steering reservoir also. For the overflow tube. Just have a rubber hose on it now. Just trying to be snowball ready. Just hope there is snow. Jack

You just hope there is snow? It's not a question of if, just how much snow 3rd weekend of January in the U.P. Just make sure you bring your shovel, you might need it.

This probably sounds dumb, but I wish the Raptor had all time 4 wheel drive like the Hummer. Lot less stuff in the front. Only lines are for the brakes and diff vent tube.

If you are running a closed airbox you could consider running the vent lines to the airbx. This is a common trick on and Hummers. Running to the cab is probably the best, but if you have water in your airbox, you probably have bigger issues than a watery diff or plug vaccum lines
