Re: Frankentruck

As a study break today, I finally replaced the parking brake cable that snapped.
I had replaced the two cables that run to the wheels back when I did the disc brake swap, but didn't have an issue with the frant cable at the time.

The new front cable was around 15 bucks or so after shipping because it shipped with the replacement Jeep wiper arm (junkyard arm broke at the hinge). The length is almost spot on to the original one, but the only issues I have with it is that the attachment piece at the handle isn't wide enough and the 2 adjustment nuts at the other end are 13mm. For the price though, I can't complain too much and my parking brake works again
