Custom FJ62 Power Steering Line

[ColoradoCarlisle]

Hello, I have done some searches and found a little bit of information but not enough that I feel like I know the answer for sure

My 88 has a pretty decent leak on the high-pressure line coming out of the reservoir, maybe five or 6 inches from the reservoir

It sounds like a tedious job to remove the front radiator. Raise the body to try to replace the lines with something original.

Is there a way to have a line custom-made that I could possibly route myself to buy me maybe three or four months until I have some more time to dive in and do this correctly

Not sure how much of a pain in the ass this is to complete, but just really do not have time right now and need to get this thing up and going again

Any help would be greatly appreciated, especially if there’s a source where I could order something like this

I recently had my high-presure line blow up on my 89 FJ62 while pulling away from a parking spot. Coated everything in my engine bay with PS fluid. I just ordered a new line from rock auto. Haven't completed this job yet but there's a good write up I linked below.

Yes, you could make a custom line with a different route. It would not be easier than dealing with necessary disassembly of replacing the line with stock.

Its a pain but you can loosen the body to frame bolts (back to the B pillar at least) to allow the front clip to be gently lifted the 2" needed to access the bolts holding on the PS line.
