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.

a driveline brake would work better. you get the benefit of differential gearing multiplication, they hold strong. plus, its not JUST the rear tires.
