You can disconnect that sensor on the pumpkin. Then unplug the box under your driver's seat. That is the ECU for the ABS. The ABS valve mounted on the frame can be removed and the rear lines plumbed with a t fitting. I relocated mine on the frame notch on the first build, then removed it entirely. I never noticed any difference in the way the brakes operate.

bar cut to size , bushing put in
Tacked in place, you can see the second ones also ready to be tacked in place
sorry about the shitty cell phone pics but next weekend the frame will be gone
and the lower bar will be tacked and the top bars will be tacked in and everything will be welded
Thats what u guys get for pictures at 6 am,working all night and lots of drinking and smoking but i can assure u they are in proper position

Lowers tacked in place
Lowers again
Top view With drivers side upper bar in place
Driveshaft crossmember with the upper and lower bars tacked in place
Where the rear axle tabs are mounted
So some progress done , lowers are tacked in place , the upper was mocked up its a bit more than 40 degrees , in order to get a perfect 40 they gotta be both connected like a wishbone in the center,they have been cut 6 1/4" the lower was cut 8" and the upper bar crosses the lower bar which looks ugly from above , also another note the driveline isnt straight so everything looks off center but its not i was told if i put the bag on the bar is near the crossmember ill get more lift
