How was setting up the Ready Brute brake? Have you been happy with it?
Very happy with it. I was able to tow my wife around in the Jeep when I first set it up so she could report back that indeed the foot brake was being pulled towards the floor. You can't precisely measure how much it contributes to the overall braking as it's reacting to the piston in the surge unit, so it's a "feels good to me" science.
2 holes penetrate the firewall and 1 clamp (I believe it's the emergency break-away) can secure both cables higher up on the pedal.
I can have Kellie take a couple pictures and post them to the Host Mammoth FB page or post them here. I do have the emergency break-away connection tucked back as far out of view as possible. There are reports of schmucks pulling that cable and locking up your brakes while parked.
Thanks Mike. That was my primary question. How to calibrate. Different amounts of lever pull on the hitch will react differently in different vehicles. And as you note how to quantify. I assume you can adjust slack in the cable system or possibly even pre-load to some degree.
One other question regarding the tow bars themselves. In the folded/ not towing position is there any conflicts getting into the basement storage on the Mammoth?
