Only one connector and it comes completely off, unless you tapped into wires on the fender side, then maybe more difficult.
Hmmmmm ok. I know I disconnected one connection on the harness when we were on the phone installing the lights. Don't remember if the wiring was connected to the fender anywhere else or not.

Nope. Only one connector and the whole thing is disconnected.

What size are those tie downs? I've been thinking about adding a couple of those myself just in case.
They are these ones. https://a.co/d/ipRpTLZ

I used 6x1.00 30mm bolts, could of used shorter. I jammed the washer with a nut just like in the photo. The nut also works as a bushing so the tie-down could pivot freely. All stainless hardware, so hopefully no rusting issues.

@CyberHero based on the question you are asking and the fact that Shrockworks is OOB, you may be tempted to look at the Ace Engineering sliders. My 2016 JKUR's personal recommendation would be to stay away from the Ace sliders. Here's what happened to her:
WranglerBentTub.jpeg


The ACE sliders mount using the body mount bolts. Between where they mount and the frame are BIG rubber bushings designed to accommodate the frame flex and not transmit to the tub. This means that if you come down hard on that slider, it will flex upwards, compressing the bushings and striking the tub. You can see the buckled tub in the pic. It also changed the door gaps all the way around the door...

If you want a good cosmetic look, the Ace sliders are fine. If you are going to wheel that rig and USE those sliders, ditch the Rubi Rails (because they can allow for the same thing to happen) and get rock rails that bolt or weld to the frame. My $0.02 USD
Not sure how you managed that one. I have beat the hell out of my Ace sliders. I have dented them quite a bit but never touched the body or ruby rails. What trail did you do that on?

Well then you haven’t been trying that hard… :CWL: :CWL: :CWL:

Did it on a local trail north of Phoenix called “Backway to Crown King”. In general it is an easy trail with bypasses around all the hard parts, but one hard part in particular I have only been successful on 3 of 6 times…this wasn’t one of them. Lots of rock and deep holes and I popped over a big rock and dropped in the hole on the other side smack on the slider. It’s even got about a 2” bow in it now as well.

Completed my first Oil change on the Glad. 5159 miles. Added what I consider to be a boon to mankind.... my Fumoto F106s valve. I have them on all my vehicles, past and present.

Here’s a picture though. Ignore my T harness and the circled connector is the only wiring that connects to the fender.

Well that's a conundrum
Trust me. I’d much rather be in the driveway swapping front springs and other little projects today. But sometimes life gets in the way.

I thought mine was further back towards the windshield but maybe not. That's why I thought there were 2 plugs.
