You've got quite some modifications happening to come and ask about a tube. Have you tried a hose clamp on the bottom end and some longer hose on the top with it strategically zip-tied to the frame so it's not possible to pull it out?

If you're physically pulling it out with sticks, etc. then maybe weld a nipple on there, use the hose clamp, and route it up your CA and continue up from there.

Hoseclamp. This would actually be a good time to extend the breather hoses. Some bulk hose and clamps are all you need to do this.

It's not the rubber hose, its the metal tube that been pulled out.

I'm not next to mine right now but I would suggest cleaning it all up and epoxying the metal piece back in there. Don't clog it with epoxy. After it's all dried up then go with the hose clamp.


Any idea why it continually comes out? You didn't mention if you had the breathers extended or not. If they aren't then that's a dead give away as to why it's coming loose.

This is the metal tube that keep on going out. I think I'll put a little bit of silicone and reinstall it again.

I order a new tube hope that is going to fix the problem.

Just extend your tubes.. Now that you put the lift on you are just stretching them factory hoses... Thats why they keep coming off.. As soon as you flex it a little she'll pop off... Get a gaz hose from your part store. Theres a write-up on this on project-jk.com
