bumpity bump...
No one's put a Tcase brake on a dual case setup?
I got my ideas on how to make it work, it's doable I think but definetly like to see some pics of other peoples "ideas" in action!

this should work: http://locktup4x4.com.au/hilux-solid...brake-245.html
only thing is I'd be a little worried about the mounting locations snapping off.
If you have any plans to do a solid axle swap, this would be the best deal for you I think: http://www.allprooffroad.com/pickupd...ickuptcase/360
That thing will apparently interfere with the whole torsion bar front suspension dealie, tho. I'm not sure if a coil over independent front suspension would interfere or not, but the x-member is designed for a SAS.
Oh, and there is this one too, although I don't see anything in specific about dual cases: http://www.allprooffroad.com/9095brakeupgrades/33

When in double low the torque under load can cause some WICKED driveline twisting. There are a number of solutions for that these days, from modified tcase mounts (Marlin) to new rear crossmembers (FRORF, Marlin, AllPro, yadda...).
I used a FRORF crossmember and modified AllPro tcase ebrake (primarily longer bolts to ensure enough thread engagement in the tcase cases). It works fine... but NOT as well as the stock ebrake setup. You could actually stop the truck when in motion down the highway with the stocker... not so, with the tcase ebrake.
And of course if anything breaks such that the tcase is disconnected from the wheels... you have no ebrake (such as... 'friends' finding it humorous unlocking the hubs on your rear axle, given a full floater and locking hub arrangement...)
