Has anybody ever tried running two parking brakes, one to each wheel? I would imagine you could use to apply reistance to a spinning wheel and it would be alot cheaper than a selectable locker.

Those can be called cutting brakes. I bet that would be more trouble then it would be worth it in terms of getting power to the wheels. A lunch box locker is very cheap, and is a fairly simple install.

I did a lockright on my YJ, it was a real simple install. I hated the road manners and all the extra stress on the axles just around town. I'll do a search under cutting brakes, thanks

Yah but they usually have R & L foot pedals for the brakes. Don't forget the lever type hand throttle.

Get a set of hydraulic cutting brakes the dual e-brakes are not strong enough to help turn the vehicle. Tried it! Don’t work
