    Maybe just a tiny dab of silicone adhesive, and some duct tape?

    6" fab tech lift on 35's, modified/extended ac drain hose.

    Yep first thing I did when I picked it up from the dealer today. It's a pretty simple fix. Any 5/16 to 1/2 inch hose kit (not entirely sure on hose size.) with clamps and a few zips ties works fine.

    Note: the hose kit I used is for a Bryant high efficiency furnace. I Purchesed the kit from Amazon, although most HVAC supply stores will have these.

    Make sure to leave the zip tie a bit loose so you don't crush the hose.

    The end result turned out great. By the angle of this pic it seems like it would still piss all over the Side of the frame, however the hose angled 45 degrees, missing the frame, interior rim, brakes, suspension etc.

    Hope this helps!!!

    I just cut a piece of old garden hose that I had laying around then secured it with tape. 40K miles and 2 trips to Moab and it's still on there.

    So this has been a Toyota design for over 1 decade. Never has there been a TSB or any mass failures regarding the evap drain line. I’ll keep mine where it’s at.
