    Hopefully it was on the bottom ones, a rounded nut on the top connection would be fatal!

    My 2010 TRD SPORT Has an electrical connection going to the rear diff. After lifting it’s pretty taught. Anyone have a recommendation on extending this minus cutting it and extending it with additional wires.

    That's the ABS wiring. You could try and tweak the brackets at the top and bottom to give it a little more wiggle room. I extended mine with some 20 gauge wire and a soldering iron since it's only 4 wires, but I understand not everyone wants to do that.

    I bent the brackets some and have plenty of line now. Can also take the upper off the bracket and youll have tons of line.

    Bumping a good thread. Guess I better get myself a flare nut wrench before I dive into this project. Never messed with brake lines before

    My biggest thing is to make sure you have the proper wrenches for brake fittings. Some folks try it with normal wrenches, and you wont be able to do it, while also rounding out your brake fittings.

    Replaced mine today, I took the upper bracket off which nade it easier to remove the upper connections. Putting the clips back in the upper ones was tricky, one of them I couldn't get completely in but it's close enough. Bleeding the brakes was really easy.
