8.8 parking brake

[ORCA]

Alright I know i've asked a few people about this before, but for those of u with an 8.8 - what the heck did you use for your parking brake. 4 years without one, I think it's time I figure something out...? :roll:

 

I wonder if I could just mickey mouse it at the hardware store? Hmm..

 

Oh yea - I have the attention span of a 7 year old, so pics are definetly welcome!!

costs next to nothing, works just fine.

The easiest thng to do is spend a few dollars and buy a line lock from summit :brows:

I think i'll order a new one from summit... I need the springs and little peices from a JY too :roll:

 

Any idea how long I should get for a longbed?

 

EDIT:

 

Hey ping pong, any word on that bumper?

Wow thanks man! :cheers: Although it looks like those have to be mounted on the parking brake line:

 

 

I think my first option is to head over to a junkyard and see if I can wrangle up all the parts I need (I need EVERYTHING :roll: )

 

Does anyone know if this kit will work (it's designed for a floor mounted parking brake?):

I should be picking up a rolling chasis jig soon :brows: :nuts: so I should have some more progress coming if I can get away from the 72 hour work weeks

That's what I used with my Ford Exploder brakes, but had to cut a slot so I could mount the e-brake cable. Only way I could think of that would work with the original cables.
