Re: Roll Control Info
 
Those devices are usually reserved for (dragsters) and Jeeps without
e-brakes (because of lift and cable lengths) like mine. Your TJ should have
a perfectly good e-brake. If you are concerned about starting out on a
hill, do as jbjeep said and put in a hand throttle. The hand throttle has
other invaluable trail uses... a cruise control for the trail that keeps
your foot off the gas as you bounce and lunge.

Why? What's wrong with using the hand brake that is already installed?
