Re: Out on the lines
we wheeled about 9 miles of trail all good. When we were done, I parked my truck. The parking brake slipped and it roled down a small hill to a bigger one and then into a tree at about a 50% grade. Bent the brush guard and front cross member, broke grill and plastic bottom, ripped off left front fender, bent driver door hinges, and bent the panel under the fender. Wasn't even in the Damm thing. Good thing was it pulled itself right out of the ditch and off of the tree.
I need a hug  |

Re: Out on the lines
What a horrible end to a great ride, eh? Sorry to hear that happened...
I haven't had a chance to wheel mine, but reading stories like that reminds me of how bad my luck usually is...

Dude that sucks.
I assume you have a five-speed? I really have to step hard into my parking break to get the truck to stay still on the slightest of grades. I've been meaning to adjust the damn thing, and I think your story just gave me the motivation.
When you recover, post pics of the carnage!

Re: Out on the lines
I almost sounds like GM should pay for it. The E-brake shouldn't fail like that. Next time put it in gear.

Re: Out on the lines
I was thinking that almost sounds like a warranty claim.. The parking brake should hold the back tires locked on almost any grade.. The tires should slide before the brakes give...
