    My old emergency/parking brake doesnt work anymore (who's does?) Is there a good replacement Line lock or Micro lock system for jeep?

    Mine too. Contact http://www.hermtheoverdriveguy.com/ about replacement parts for your parking brake. If you have oil leaks in that area, you have to deal with them also.

    I used the (low cost) line lock out of the JC Whitney catalog. The name is something like "Jamar". It isn't fancy & I don't use it except to hold the Jeep still while I get out and put a block of wood under a tire.
    The only problem is that you have to run your brake line up to and from the dash. If I had to do it over I would look into one of the electric ones (Mico?). That way you can pipe it in down on the frame rail and just wire to a button on the dash.

    I recently added the -125 MicoLock, with very satisfying results.

    http://store.zips.com/proddetail.asp?partnum=02-640-125

    Well, satisfying, all except for the bells and whistles (horn) which got added due to liability issues. My first MicoLock was in 1974 and cost $35.00. The one that is now being sold is $185.00. They did add some adapters, and connectors to the kit so all of the 'plumbing' is there except a couple steel brake lines to and from the M/C.

    Oh, 'ya and it works just dandy-fine without the wiring for the horn hooked up ;-)

    Installed on a rig with a solid brake line system it doesn't bleed off, either. But I'd still not leave it very long as the only e braking method.
