ya or na?

I know someone that has a line-lock system on his rig.. and says it works great for a ebrake... but just cant leave it on for days.. what do you all think?

Had one on my Baja......Worked great and actually for days also.... Although that was a vechile that weighed at least 1/2 of what any good wheeling machine does here.........Although I have taken Bajas many places that only 4x4 where able to go, but that is another story.


Line Locks worked for me!!!! Personal choice...Give it a shot if you dont like it dont use it......


If you locate it kinda in a out of site place, it can work as a nice anti theft Device LOL......

Well, my buddy is running 33's on his jeep, and can use it on a incline on the trail fine.

i still havent decided... keep the opinions coming!!!

3000psi line pressure

and here is a site, but these kits are way to expensive.

you can get them from summit for like $40

As far as using it as an E-Brake...i'd say it's better than nothing, but not the best solution. I think the ideal solution would be one of Jess's driveline disc brakes.

offroad do you have a link for that??? I know that allpro offroad makes them for their toyota's.. but i have a jeep.

url?

If you want it to be legal, check the laws. Most inspection codes state that linelocks are not considered a working ebrake. Has something to do with you stopping should you lose fluid pressure or some other trivial thing like that :flipoff2:

go to www.summitracing.com and put in part # SBR-LL

A line-lock is only good for a parking brake.
If you lose hydraulic pressure in the regular brake system, a line-lock will do nothing. An E-brake has to be mechanical.

I beleive the locks Summit sells are electronically activated & only meant for very short term use for drag racers. I guess the thing is that there is a constant electrical draw while it is on. I have heard they will burn out if left on too long.
