Yesterday the UPS woman brought me two MOPAR Lower Control Arms that are part of the MOPAR two inch lift kit - thanks Benny at forum sponsor AllMoparParts.com . I did these on my 2018 JLUR and they improved steering and caster noticeably. I put them on today.
On the JLUR I torqued...
I just did this job., for the second time. Previous was on my JLUR. I use this DeWalt DCF899H If I can't get it off with the 36 inch breaker bar. 1200 Ft/Lb of breakaway torque.

OFF TOPIC: You have got to love all the bicycle racks obstructing license plates on I-95, I-75, I-10, and I-4 in Florida. They get away with it all the time, and I-95 all the way to New York. Obstruct your Jeep license plate with mud, instant ticket. Now back to the muddy tire conundrum.
Yep, every 6 month bill I got the past two years from State Farm have been anywhere from 18% to 28% increases, across all vehicles. No claims, no wrecks, no tickets. They are all doing it and it is unsustainable. Good luck in looking at other options.
Yep, I went by what is in the owners manual, page 94 in "Getting to know your vehicle" in my 2023 Gladiator Owners Manual. Yeah, I RTFM. Mine is two pine 2X4's, cut to 57 5/8 inches and bottom corners cut on the one that sits on the bed, and also a 50" 2X4 with all corners rounded for the...
About that fender connector, if it is like the wrangler JL there is a little trick to it. Red tab, then squeeze the connector and it pops right out.

Shoutout to @dos0711 for stopping by and he was able to get the deed done. They weren't glued afterall. He has my twin gladiator in a 2022, said he didn't recall it being as difficult when he did his. He used a long narrow flat head screwdriver to hold the tab in while yanking on the wires...
Each to their own, I prefer to have options and I'm not complaining.
I don't plan on having it bypassed anywhere but in my garage.
These connectors are not easy to get to, nor are they easy to unplug. Granted a Z Automotive extension would make it easier for a crook, but if they want your...
Thanks for the reply. Wonder if the 2024s also have the glue? Yeah I pulled the panel under the steering wheel and disconnected the door bracket and footwell trim so I can swing the door open wider. My close up vision sucks, but I am going to take a long look to see if I see any signs of glue...
I have a pair of these ICON pliers that I tried. Great tool, very useful, just not for this job? Also have a much smaller one, similar to the jewelry ones that you linked to. I might give them a tug as well.

I hope you are joking but after today's total lack of success and bloody mangled fingers I am almost of the belief you are not joking. My Wrangler JLUR was a PITA the first time I did it, but after about a half hour or so of some wiggling and jiggling for each connector, I got them off...
