Brake hose from JTO - incorrect, right???

[FJsixty2]

Boy, too bad I placed such a large order with JT Outfitters... I think more than half my entire order has been wrong, missing or needed to be returned. What a PITA. Current problem parts are the outer front brake hoses. See pics. Hoses seem to be way too long and the 'clip' portion on the fitting seems incorrect. Instead of 2 collars for the front and rear clips, it has a step-down and won't clip into place correctly. Didn't realize the problem until the first hose was on, so there's a shot of it on also. These ARE the incorrect parts, right? If you have even considered ordering parts from JTO, save yourself time, money and aggravation and go elsewhere. They have put me so far behind schedule it's insane. Initial order took 3 weeks to deliver and over a month later and I'm still sending parts back!!!

looks like those hoses are for the mini truck conversion where the attachment to the wheel cylinfer is raised needing a longer hose, but the minbi hoses are too long, good luck, Larry

nuclear, i realize they suck now, but i was new to land cruiser vendors and didn't think to do a search on their service. i've dealt with tons of part vendors in the past and even have multiple friends that run large BMW parts/fabrication houses and nothing would have prepared me for the sub-par service i have received from JTO. they have gotten just about everything wrong so far. it's almost amazing they can even sustain a business with this level of incompetence. i still have parts going back to them and they've mentioned restocking fees and the need of photos to substantiate my claims of wrong parts. we'll see what the final outcome is, but i just want to be done with them. maybe there should be a sticky thread about them and their service.

I agree, JTO has ripped so many people off that they really need to be called out in the FAQ. What bothers me even more is that they routinly try to convince enthusiasts like ourselves that we are wrong and they are right about things that we are obvioulsy in the right on. I mean, the brake line is the wrong size, you dont need a friggin picture.
