I am in Northern Ohio for some training and slipped up to the Summit Racing store. I was in search of some line locks to lock the brakes in place while 4 wheeling because I feel like 4 brakes locked in place on a steep incline would likely hold my XJ in place better than 2.
The guys there strongly reccommended avoiding the line locks because they are a solenoid that is used for drag racing, momentary if you will. They said that it would burn up and be unreliable.
My parking brake keeps losing adjustment and is same as worthless. I think the cables keep catching on things and stretching out. That is why I am considering the line lock.
The Summit guys said that some are removing the cables that extend back to the brake drums and running a cable from the parking brake lever up to the firewall behind the brake pedal, and using a cable to hold down the brake pedal once you set it. I have not seen this done, does anyone have any advice on this mod or have a better solution?
Thanks in advance.
I appreciate your time.:roll:
