I've been looking for security options for my '68 FJ40. I also need an e-brake, now that I've swapped my original drivetrain for an e-brakeless late model 4spd/splitcase. This doesn't help me with adding an e-brake, but has anyone looked at the E-Stopp electric emergency brake controller for theft deterrent?
It's basically a solenoid that connects to your e-brake cable. The company claims that the controller will only allow the push button switch to operate (brake and/or release) when keyed power is engaged. Also, unlike line-locks, they claim that it will not drain your battery.
Seems like a great option to lock up the rear brakes with a hidden switch. A little spendy at about $500 for the basic unit, but cost is relative...
Here's the link. There is an install video describing how it works.
