Wrangler Extended Stainless Steel Brake Lines!

The Jeep has been lifted, which means the brake lines should be lengthened - Makes sense, right? We don't want our factory brake lines to get stretched out while flexing on the trail, so extended stainless steel brake lines were installed and it was pretty easy. Now we have peace of mind, added strength and arguable a better pedal feel! This procedure will be pretty similar across all brands ma...

Awesome video. Thank you for your support!
Thank you! You make it all very easy!
The best installation video for Bushwacker fenders ! very pro !👋👍👍👍
What is brand of CB Mic Mount could not hear the name ?
How is it still doing ?
Great video! Just did the job, and I specifically referred back to your video. Thanks a million for the torque specs😊
You got it! Happy to help!!
Hi, Since you had a thule, Did you put a RTT on it? And do you know how much lbs it can hold static? We are planning to get this rhino rack but we already have the thule installed and we plan to one night camping with it. Since the rhino rack we ordered will come at a later date.
I laughed when I got the small ratchet from jeep when I bought mine. Now I'm realizing they are laughing at us saying "have fun in them tight spaces " 😂😂😂
I just returned the cheap PCV valve and ordered a Mopar. Thanks for the very informative detailed video. DIY is the way to go with labor nowadays and I am a mechanic! Bro, what kind of suspension do you have??? wtf 😳 ❤❤❤
Thanks! Happy to help! I have a 3" teraflex kit with falcon shocks. I did a video on the kit, you'll find it in my channel if you're curious
U need to replace the valve cover gasket lol
Oh I'm aware and have already done that repair. 10/10 pain in the 🍑
Where did you get that shirt with the Jeep shown?
Excellent how-to video! This is a beautiful stinger bar. The only hiccup is the bumper clips were a bear to wrangle out of there! Use three kinds of pliers. Thanks!
could you tell me what this simple piece of plastic does? I mean I know it has to do with the oil but it's just a tube with rubber that mopar justifies selling for $100+ while an aftermarket dorman is about $25
now that some years have passed have you had any issues with the backbone rack and roof top tent attached?
Don't go with the quick release legs as they will seize on you. The regular legs are strong and only take one bolt to remove. Go that route
Nice video and thank you. Did you happen to measure how much longer they are? I can’t find product specs.
I did not find the link for the tailgate striker. Please comment with it
amzn.to/3OsDWNu
2017 wrangler with 110k miles. I’m sure never changed. I have rough idle and air mixture on bank 1. Changed coil and plug for cylinder 1 as I also had that code. No vacuum leaks I can find, likely this my culprit??
Great job with the explanation and tool identification!!!
next on my list to try and clear a P0507 code I cannot nail down...great vid..
Thanks for the video. Just bought it. Nobody talks how hard it is to mount it :D And you need friends for that.
Very helpful,thanks for posting!
I installed rock lights in my engine bay. I am hoping that helps me change it out.
Take your watch off.
Haha yeah great tip, for safety sake and for preventing your watch from getting ruined... Also fitting into tight spaces.
Great content!!!
Great video!!!
Can these be ran directly to the fog light wiring if the stock fog lights are no longer used?
Excellent instructional instillation video!!!
Thanks!
Hey there, nice video! Just got my Sony 9500es, and I have a question. In my Tacoma, I can't select the transmission cooling temp module for the gauges. It has the Maestro module install, and I got this unit from Trail Gridd Pro. My truck does have the tow package aswell.
Hey thanks for watching! I wish i could help out more with your Tacoma, I recommend reaching out to trailgrid, those guys will help you out! There's gotta be a way to set that up
Thanks for responding i will try to get a hold of them!@RubiconUnlimited
Can you mount this with just 2-Cross Bars? Thanks!
You would have to check with the roof rack manufacturers limit on weight, static and dynamic
Thanks for making this video. Having watched it, I think I can do this myself. Will you be tackling the EGR replacement in the future? Cheers!
Thanks! Happy to hear you feel encouraged to tackle this one, it's totally doable. No plans on the EGR, not even quite sure what that is
@@RubiconUnlimited The exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) valve is another emissions-control device. On the 3.8 litre V6 in the older JKs, it is on the back of the engine. There are plenty of videos showing how to replace the EGR on those engines. But so far, I haven’t been able to find any information on how it’s done on the 3.6 litre V6 engines. (Except for some wag who opined that the best way to deal with a faulty EGR valve was to do a Hemi or LS swap.😂)
Haha a Hemi swap sounds like fun 🤠 I'll consider the ERG video if it ever comes time to swap it out. Thanks
How much to buy the two lines
i only got one shackle but i allready have a bumper with 4 of them on there
Great video, it appears you just bled the last installed break. Did you do all four or just the last one? I just got a set, so hoping these fix my seized caliper issue as I read on forums!
All 4 need to be done
Great video man. Need to do this on my son's 2018 JLR with 69K miles (111,000 kms) on it... not looking forward to it. Probably do it the same time I swap out his dead shocks. Shame on Chrysler for this ridiculous location for such an important part, though I'm glad they redesigned the part to be twist on with no fasteners.
Glad to hear it's been updated! You'll be able to handle this fix, hope my video helps
Really good video !!!
Thanks for watching!
The Jk had a terrible design for steering stabilizer.
Tackling this today. Should have done it when I did my tuneup last week but the PCV valve didn’t come in time and I didn’t want to wait to do the plugs. Going to follow your method and hope it goes smooth. I picked up a small thumb socket drive and think she will do the trick in the tight space for the bottom screw.
You got this!💪
Finished. Went a different route. I took out the battery tray which left me enough room to access top and bottom screws from the top of the engine. Getting the hose off took the most time. Even using piks. Just took pressure and time, as they say in Shawshank. One thing I realized was that the little circular palm socket I got was not gonna work. Not enough leverage to crack the screw. I had bought a small ratchet but the damn holes were square. The torx bit wouldn’t fit. Ran over to harbor freight and got a pack of stubby ratchets. Those barely worked but did the job. If you’re going to do this swap, get one of the small ratchets like in this video. What a pain in the ass repair. Jeep can kiss my entire ass for this design.
You should have listened to me about the ratchet to begin with, glad you finally got it done!
@@RubiconUnlimitedI ordered one. It had a square opening and the torx bit would not go in. Harbor freight didn’t have any. Made do with a stubby. She’s done and I think I’d throw the jeep out it if ever needed another PCV valve. lol.
on amazon it says there is only a JL size. Would that still work on a Jk?
Here's a jk version! amzn.to/3OsDWNu
I got the same model as yours but my remote came with just wired version not wireless. I'm hoping to get a resolution 😢 it does not have the activation button
They've gone wired! Apparently there was a recall on the wireless, but they do have an adapter for that now
It'd be cool to hear how this has held up for you, I'm considering a rtt with this same rack on my 23 4xe jlu
i'm really digging the Bob Ross demeanor. no loud home depot music playing over super fast camera shots. I'll be coming back to this to change out my 2014's pcv
Hahahah love it, and happy you dig it! Thanks for watching
@@RubiconUnlimitedupdate: PCV vavle changed successfully. that little ratchet wrench saved the day. Thanks man!
@@void6714 you got it! Nice work!
Once your cut the bumper slot did you get a wider fairlead slot or hook plate
Your oil cooler is leaking
What makes you say that? Already swapped out the housing and did the seals
@@RubiconUnlimited when you are showing the pcv valve where it’s located at 3:20. See all the oil run off on the back of the cover. Your oil cooler leaks into the valley and then streams down the back of your engine making it look like a cover leak. Check your valley with a flashlight. I’d bet there’s some oil in there
I'll double check, but last time I looked it was fine. I had a really bad leak (repair video is in my channel), this is likely residue from that previous issue.
@@RubiconUnlimited it could certainly be oil that wasn’t cleaned when you replaced the cooler. I’d check in the valley. If you don’t see any oil then you’re fine. If there is however. Time for another tear down and cooler job
Yup! Fingers crossed, but things have been looking good since the repair, oil level has been stable
Surprised no bump stop spacers
Any leaks after installation? Need to change mine out soon while doing spark plugs....
So far so good
@@RubiconUnlimited How long did it take?
I am looking for the same head unit but my car is not a jeep, it is a 2021 toyota camry. Do these guys do regular cars too?
I know they do Toyota Tacoma's, so maybe there's a chance. Reach out to them and see what they say, worth a shot!
@@RubiconUnlimited Thank will do!
I can't understand if XAV-9500ES and XAV-9550ES are the same device (maybe for different countries) or not...
Hmm that I'm not sure. Maybe reach out to trail seven, they are very responsive
I watched your older video installing the SmittyBilt winch with the Bulldog plate. Fast forward I also found your new install using Warn. Thank you for the comparison and making my decision faster and accurate lol.
Happy to help! Thanks for watching
Make sure to check for firmware updates. I had some CarPlay issues on an early firmware revision and an update corrected it. I’ve had it for almost 2 years now I think(no perception of time) and have liked it a lot.
Trail seven actually sent me an email letting me know there was an update a few weeks back. They included simple instructions as well. Pretty great that they do that! Haven't had any issues in before or after the install, but thanks for the heads up
I installed the Dorman and it did just like the polymer and five months it started leaking oil and water. This reminds me of a Corvair. Come on do a real fix
Still working great on my end
You might consider using a Factor55 Flatlink for a couple of reasons. First, you will protect more of your winch line because you can wind all of the line on to the drum. Second, being a closed system, the F55 won't break like a hook can. When that happens with a hook, you could end up with an extremely dangerous situation.
Oh yeah, im aware of those and they are great. I already run a warn sidewinder and like it a lot, no need for me to change it
