It didn't work for a little while after one hill climb I did, and then I drove about 10 miles and I could then use it again like normal. It's currently working.


Thanks for the help guys!

Each side looks completely different. The cable on the driver side comes down from the frame, and the passenger side starts on the driver side frame, runs along the axle, and then to the brake over there.

Looks like a big zip tie is in order to make this easy/save me from ripping the parking break out
Ok good, just looked like from the picture it was missing, as long as the cables are intact it should still function.

I'm parked under the oak tree right now, and it's just shtting pollen everywhere. You know how it looks when it rains, and there's a dry spot under your truck? Using that analogy, pretend the wet area from the rain is pollen, and the dry area is the clean part under the truck.

Ewwwwwww


That's why they aren't the best pictures haha trying not to my allergies crazy stirred up by all that

I thought they were supposed to look like that.... Both do, and have the whole time I've had this truck. Maybe it's a 2wd VS 4x4 difference?

Change out the brake cable, $20/25 @ flaps(friendly local auto parts store). Swaybar drop links are suposed to be angled like that. just change out the bushings.

I'll change it out when it stops working properly. Until then there are more pressing things to complete...
