As we continue assembling the Jeep we discover that the rear brake hose needs to be replaced with something longer and more suitable for the job. In this video we take care of that with a brake hose I got at Napa and also repair the damaged emergency brake cable. Oh and we check out the Iron Rock Of Road 1.5" wheel spacers that will allow me to run the stock wheels with this lift kit. -Enjoy!

Brake cable looked like a a pain in the
Or give me ole big nasty..
In Florida mechanics are like give me that leather man I’m going to change the starter. Sma is like get me a jackhammer I’m going to pull the dipstick and check the oil.
Be careful…… without gloves your hands are going to get dirty 😂😆😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😆
PTFE Spirowrap is ideal for underside cables!
I know this is not recent, but Mr O does and excellent Job!
Next thing will be putting tracks instead of tires……then a snowplow…………….
Just finished my front IRO Lift today, moving onto the rear. How's it been holding up?
Performance anxiety perhaps
Just bought a 2002 WJ… I am loving this series!
After a few years with the Iron Rock setup, have you had any noises develop in the rear suspension? I have some major noise I'm trying to run down.
Really enjoying these. Big thankyou
While you get that thing up in the air and its rust-free. Either use New Hampshire oil undercoating, or make up a mix, of transmission fluid, PB Blaster, and Dawn dish detergent add spray everything under that vehicle and inside the frame rails. Inside where those door weep holes are, and bore a couple of holes in that rocker panel and do the underside of those rocker panels. And then you can always add some every couple of years or so or even less.
The mix ratio for this stuff in 1 quart would be 11 oz of transmission fluid, 8 oz of PB Blaster, and 1 oz of Dawn dish detergent. So for a gallon it would be four times that much for each item.
It might not be a bad idea to drop down the fuel tank cover, clean up the inside of it and put some truck bed coating inside of it, and it clean up the outside of it do the same thing to be outside of it and spray the inside with that same solution before you put it back on. Otherwise in New York that thing's going to look like shit in a few years. You can also spray the fuel tank itself before you get everything back together.
Hey man you're out of your element that's why you're all fidgity you're used to having to beat the snot out it and get the fire wrench going this is too easy. Cheers from Jacksonville Florida
Sometimes working on your own truck can become a chore. Especially if it’s taking up work space.
A man who never made a mistake is a man who hasn't learned something new!
Awesome video!!
I have trouble with those e-brake shoes, springs, etc. almost all the time. Not much room to work on them. You are making progress – it's looking good
You've not said or shown anything on the Jeep for sometime do you still own it what you doing with it
Light’s about to get some flying lessons 😂
When using the wheel spacers, did you use red loctite on the axle studs to ensure the spacer doesnt come loose from the axle?
I can't begin to express how relieved I was when you struggled a bit with the actuator. While I'm only a shade tree mech, I'd like to think I'm decent but those brakes kicked my a$$. First video of yours I watched and appreciated it. I also work on vehicles with my daughter Samantha – wouldn't trade it for the world.
YOu got to teach Hanna to wear proper shoes/boots in a work area. Sneakers!?! Ouch!
What a clumsy flaring tool. There has to be something better to do this one detail.
Rick…You really hit on something with your videos. Nobody ever really gets to see what it takes to repair various types of problems. Viewers share a common appreciation for watching you work and the educational dialogue that accompanies the repair. Your camera work is excellent. The level of detail is clear. Including your family is a plus. I just wanted to offer some positive feedback from a fan.
You probably should have sprayed some brake fluid on it
There is no easy way to install that brake cable, .
That could be why your a jittery not enough rust no threat of tetanus
That would be a well rounded fact nothing ventured nothing gained and you ,your venturing a great deal. And I'm not one to criticize your work on your project.
IN PA we have to call them adapters as spacers are illegal and you will not pass yearly inspection
these are the kind of things you run into when your building s hot rod or custom car/ truck.
I know of a great Kosher Mexican Restaurant called MEXICO SCHMEXICO!!!
Does your 4.7 have magnesium valve covers, and if so, what brand valve cover gaskets did you use?
Looks like a "Craftsman Tool Day".
I always keep some Craftsman tools for throwing when a job gets frustrating or I get pi$$ed off. Snap-on tools are too expensive to throw in a fit of rage.
Good Job 👍… I like your commentary! Keeps me watching…
Help lol I got Chevy Silverado 2005 it’s running fine when idle but when I put in gear press the gas it doesn’t wanna drive normal wants to stall lol

I suspect you spent a lot of money up grading the suspension and drivetrain items to make a useful off reader!
I think your over thinking this hold thing
lol calm you self young man
Enjoying this project , makes me want to install a lift in my living room 🙂
Lights about to get some flying lessons, LOL
Show us ya jeep man?
Facing forward leaves the chance of being broke off when running deep.
The rear end looks like it’s “all jacked up on Mountain Dew”. Reminds me of the way we did the muscle cars back in the 80’s
What are your thoughts on wheel spacers for an every day driver, aka lifted tacoma? Ive heard pros/cons.
I am an industrial mechanic for a living, but when it comes to my own cars lately, I have no luck. Matter of fact, it's a WJ and I cannot get the stupid parking brakes to hold.
On the rear brake hose washers from NAPA beware. Picked up one for dodge 2500, hose from proportioning valve to rear axle. Copper crush washers from NAPA were too thin. Or perhaps not crushable. It leaked at block attachment to proportioning valve . NAPA.75mm thick , genuine mopar 1.55 mm. Copper color was different . MOPAR could be annealed (Malleable) copper as well. Pricey at $2.50 per washer. Leaking brake lines are even more.
