Easy install, life time warranty, ease of use, no brake unit to install, remove, or store from inside your jeep, no electrical or air pressure to operate brake. imho the entire set up is a Pro
Only con I have found in 5 years of use is the cable attaching to the brake pedal broke. Went to home depot to buy new cable and installed it at the campsite in 15-20 minutes. The cable does require crimps to secure the cable around a metal horse collar. The home depot guy used the crimp tool to crimp for me, saving me the $35 for the tool. A friend has the tool so I made up 2 more cables in case it ever breaks again. Costs about $8 for the cable and all the parts to make. Ready Brute charges $20 plus shipping
