Any idea on what it would take to mount a second mechanical parking brake caliper in the rear? Wilwood has a caliper that should fit with our width and diameter of rotors; $110 each side. Drifters/racers have mounted second calipers for their ebrake setups before.
My reasoning for this is the stock parking brake system is hard to work on, and it seems it never works all that great even when adjusted properly. I would like a bulletproof setup that I can set on an incline while wheeling in Moab, etc so I can help spot others over obstacles. My brake isn't adjusted properly and is useless right now but for those that have theirs adjusted correctly would it hold on a steep incline if you were to put it in neutral?
Cutting the dust shields and making a bracket that mounts them are the two obstacles I see right now.
