In short, yes. It would work similar to a trailer's braking system. It would be a hassle though. The only way to make the factory brake controller work is to install an electric over hydraulic trailer brake actuator. You'd then have to find somewhere to mount it in the Jeeps engine compartment. Then, you'd have to tie into the Jeeps brake lines AFTER the proportioning valve/master cylinder since the actuator regulates the needed PSI by what the brake controller tells it. You'd also need reverse lockout valve to stop fluid from going back into the master cylinder when the brakes are applied. When you add up the cost of the actuator, extra parts and labor (if you don't DIY) you're looking at the cost of, or more than a brake buddy or similar device.
Like I said, a hassle.
