Did you bleed the brakes after you installed your extended brake lines?

Sounds to me like you have over-flexed your lines and developed a leak.

Go double check the brake lines to make sure you have no leaks. Chek that the MC is full and rebleed if needed.
BTW looks real good, even flexed on a wall.

I mean that if it was flexed on a pile of rocks like you were on a trail or something then it would look more at home. Jeeps are built for trails and such.
I knew you were smart enough to check those things but maybe someone else that reads this may need to be reminded to do that if they do this modification to their brakes. A post is not always intended to be instructional to the OP but to the others who may read the thread.

You should bleed the front brakes at the same time you bleed the rears.

I see the front diff under there. What do you need to make the 4X4 work?
