Hey everyone, new here and new to the XJ world.
Just bought an 86 4x4 I4 and am slowly but surely finding more and more things wrong with it.
When I engage my parking brake, there is no response at all. I hopped underneath tonight and noticed that the rod that connects to the lever was actually broke and somehow jerry rigged back together. I was wondering if anyone here has any sort of diagram of the parking brake system, if anyone might know what this parts name is(the rod) and if anyone knows where I can get one other than from Jeep and from a junkyard(havent tried there yet). This whole situation brought up another question, why did it break? The jeep is budget boosted what I assume is 2 inches, is it possible the lift had something to do with the failure? Do I need to be looking at getting longer cables to prevent this from happening in the future(I remember reading that YJ cables were adequete replacements?) Thanks for any response.
