The parking brake cable auto tensioning design on the Jeep Wrangler JK/JKU (as well as many other Dodge / Jeep products of this era) has no way to add pretention to the parking brake cables.

In stock form, the only way to adjust the parking brake is at the rear axle. Even with the parking brake shoes properly adjusted, the parking brake does not fully engage, especially as the lever system ages and cables stretch. This becomes a very serious safety issue for those that park on slopes, and even more so when off-road.

This is my solution, inspired by other YouTube videos. Hope it helps you.
