BoneZ Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 After you have put a 3" sl and a 3" bl in a wd21 pathfinder how do you make the e-brake work. If you are one of the people that has done this can you post a pic of how you set it up im sure i need to make at least 1 new set of mount brackets for them but would like to see what others have done before i start on it. Thanks for any responses. If there is a thread already on this can you point me the right way tried search for awhile with no luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aries247 Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 i didn't have a problem with my e brake when i did mine. all brackets stayed where they were. e brake worked fine other than needing adjusting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simon Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 i didn't have a problem with my e brake when i did mine. all brackets stayed where they were. e brake worked fine other than needing adjusting. X2....just loosened it off at the center section (the T) and then tightened back up after the body lift. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GrimGreg Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 A couple of Pathy owners on NOAS have made their own drop brackets for the cables. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unccpathfinder Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I just did this and 1st noticed that it seemed like the cables were going to be short for the mounts on the underside but then was able to pull them into location and then use the adjuster to adjust the brake and had to do no custom work Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
88pathoffroad Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 I dropped mine about 3" with some scrap steel brackets I welded up. I felt like the cables were too tight and in need of some adjustment room. Also, when I was offroading when the rear would flex it would pull the e-brake cable and lock one wheel on me, so it was a functionality issue as well.

nunya Posted April 22, 2009 Share Posted April 22, 2009 (edited) No issues with mine other than adjusting it, I don't think I have the correct cables though, where they bolt to the body the 2 bolt holes are wider than the threaded holes in the body.

Thanks allot that is what i was thinking of doing. I think mine sits a little higher then most in the rear and 1 rear wheel on a curb will lock up the brakes on the lower side if i have all the brackets attached.
