Help! My 77 is having trouble backing up. It acts like a brake is dragging but I disconnected both drivelines and its in the transfer case. It will back up, but feels like you have your foot on the brake. Any ideas? Thanks
FJ40 doesn't like to back up!

Thanks guys, I took the E-brake drum off this AM and it was really gummed up with grease and dirt. Did a super clean up and all is well! Thanks again.
Nice! Easy low dollar fixes are cool
