Trans mounted e-brake

[BIIHawg]

Has anyone maneged a way to mount an e-brake to the back end of the t-case in a BII?

Pics would be great if its out there

Do you mean something similar to a pinion brake, but on the t-case? Sounds interesting.

Sky's makes one for the Toyotas, and Spidertrax makes one for the Samurai, but I haven't seen one made for RBVs yet, probably not popular enough to profit from it. My LJ came with a drum brake version, and I know the SJ410 came with something similar, it wouldn't be too hard to make something, if you go to Sky manufacturing, you can see the kit, and basically how it works. You may be able to adapt their kit to be made to work on the RBV, but it may be some work, as it bolts up to the toyota transfercase. The only downside to these, is if your rear driveline breaks or is removed, you have no E-brake.

Line locks front and rear. Simple, cheap and all it takes is a little plumbing. I like it because I can lock all fours, get out of the truck and winch without having to have someone hold the brakes so the truck doesn't slide. Using two of these.

One for the front and one for the rear. Nice thing about them is you can't forget and leave them locked. You touch the brake and they pop off automatically.

I have always thought of trying to mount a caliper on the boss holes for the rear dampener on the t-case. I don't know if the cast aluminum would hold up though. It might just split the back half of the case open.

I would guess that would be what would happen if you used those bolt holes. the way that would make sense to me is use the bolts where the case halves bolt together. if you use 4 or 5 of those it would be pretty damn strong, if infact it could even be done. the problem would seem to be finding the right caliper and rotor to use. an easier way would be to find a small drum and backing plate to modify and bolt on.

Yo,
I have always wanted to adapt the all pro off road (http://www.allprooffroad.com/index.php?option=content&task=view&id=33) driveshaft brake. I don't think it would be terribly hard.
