Most people don't, he is buying SOMEONE ELSEs vehicle. Duh.
Building one from an aftermarket frame and a Shell Valley body kit is
cheaper and in most states you can get it titled as an old one either
using an Alabama title or going the Street Rod route.
That way you can get exactly what you want. Front and rear axles,
transfer case, etc.

Anyway careful where you go with this because everyone here knows damn

Re: Jeep Toad
That's why I have a roll cage, surviving many roll overs, one for
five endos. The stock Real Jeep CJ-2A frame usual springs back into
shape, on one landing I broke a front and rear axle, and drove it back
to camp.

Yep I sure did... and here's what YOUR OWN LINK SAYS ABOUT THE SAME SUBJECT:
"if the system loses its pressure, the de-application pressure is also
lost, and the parking brakes will come on as the pressure decreases -
providing an "automatic" setting of the parking brakes if system
pressure is lost on the road."
So there you go Bill thanks for proving what I said with your link... a
lack of air means your brakes lock up. Man are you _TRYING_ to look
clueless?
HEY lets do this some more... I'm enjoying embarrassing the biggest
------- on this group so here's some more point for point:
Your link:
"Of major importance is the difference between air and the "normal"
hydraulic brakes with which all are familiar - the air brake pedal is
not a Pump, as with hydraulic brakes, but rather a Valve."
Which is a fancy way of saying the same thing I said:
"Because air brake systems works backwards from how we are used to
brakes working...
The default state on a semi's brake system is LOCKED UP... Unlike
hydrolic systems where a lack of fluid will result in NO BRAKES, a lack
of air will result in total brakes."
Man your link is doing a great Job of making you look ignorant!
Link:
"Thus, the spring brakes (sometimes referred to as "Maxis," or
maxi-brakes) are always on, unless the spring is "caged" by the second
additional air chamber, "piggy-backed" onto the one already there for
the regular service brakes. To de-apply the parking brakes, the system
must first be brought up to pressure"
And I wrote (simplified of course):
"This is because air is used to push against the heavy springs that are
ALWAYS trying to push the brake shoes against the drums."
Good grief Bill, you are horrible at this... I'm starting to feel like
I'm beating up on a cripple, so if you want the last word(s) go for it,
make up some outlandish accusation, link to some semi-relevant page that
does a good job of contradicting you, and accuse me of being something
you have no idea about... have fun...
