Anyone use or build a pinion break that mounts to the transfer case and getting rid of breaks on axles? Anyone make a kit for this other then the parking break kits..? Any pics or ideas?
I seen people do that and I d say do little more research I advise not to if your driveshaft breaks u may have no brakes at all I mount mine at axle pinion so if the driveshaft breaks I ll still be able to stop
if the driveshaft or shafts break , you'll most likely roll to a stop pretty fast .... ;D
But I like the idea of a brake off a seperat master so that if you loose a line while out playing, you have a second pedal to get you through the day or weekend
Better to overdo the safty equiptment than to under do
ive built 2 of them on my truck first one worked ok but failed from a rock getting wedged in there 2nd one seems too work a lot better I also thought about using a parking brake tail shaft that some 2wd 400th in motorhomes and bigg trucks had on them[url=http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/ac94/Big_Frank_2010/FOR%20SALE/P2130472.jpg](http://i889.photobucket.com/albums/ac94/Big_Frank_2010/FOR%20SALE/P2130472.jpg) (http://s889.photobucket.com/user/Big_Frank_2010/media/FOR%20SALE/P2130472.jpg.html)[/URL]
Mounted mine on the back of the t case works great. You would have to break both drive shafts to not have breaks your stopping the case on the drive shaft.
Or like me hit a tree and Explode it. Then it will not stop at 60+ mph. The t-case no more well just no more T-case or pinion brake.LOL that's all i can do now. ++peace GotMud?
i had my break on the tcase when u hit the break u stopped everything fab up just like the 1s on the axles mounted it 2 were the pbrake was on the tcase.... i was running a np200 so it was easy to fab up... and like said ull have breaks unless u break both driveshafts at the same time
I'm with MD on this..
driveshaft breakage ??? so.. you have NEVER put your vehicle in 2wd ???
not to mention your putting one of the highest stress systems in line with the weakest part of your drivetrain ==doh
theres a reason that type of setup is not allowed in racing or on the street.

They are not allowed on the streets because they heat up to quickly at high speeds, monster trucks use driveline brakes in racing... And yet again they heat up when used a lot and at fast speeds,
for a mud truck you will be fine running a driveline brake, the hardest part is fabrication to make it work properly on your tcase and redrilling a rotor to work

Agree with you to a point..
driveline brakes on the Monsters are Pinion style not at the tcase if my memory serves me correctly.
not opposed to driveline brakes, I think the opposition is "Where" they are mounted.. pinion vs. tcase

ive noticed from the start on mine when ya hit the brake too stop theres a lot of rocking motion on the drive line like the momentum and rotating mass wants too put a lot of pressure on the t case and drive shafts its deffinetly a lot different from having wheel brakes it all comes down too the type of truck smaller truck with boggers would bee different than a tractor tire truck
Thanks for all of your input fellas
what type of setup doo you have that ya want too do the t case brake on

u joint output on the rear then take that off and get a companion flange yolk for the t case and the end of the drive shaft cut off the thickness of the rotor from the drive shaft make brackets off the sides where the t case boltsinto the frame???
