at last!!! I got my 2003 Trooper!!!

[ARB]

i think the trooper's hand brake is connected to the rear brakes. just check if may cable.
for those that are connected to the transmission, applying a little pressure to the brakes will do but not too much.

Yung Patrol connected sa transmission ang handbrake. Kahit basa ang wheel brakes (after fording, etc.) may way to stop ka pa din. That is unless you go as deep as ungas and submerge the drum brake that surrounds the rear propeller shaft. Yun kasi ang handbrake ng Patrol.

On a Pajero, the handbrakes are an extra set of brakes (drum brakes) embedded in the rear disc brakes. So in total, the Pajero has six brakes. Hehehe.

di ba kapag disc brakes na, hindi na problem kung mabasa mga brakes, unlike drum brakes?

Basa pa rin naman ang contact points ng pads and discs after submerging them underwater. There is little brake slippage when those are still wet. Mas madali nga lang ito matuyo compared to drums.

Ample space is needed for drying them not like on drums.

A film of water can always form on the disc surface. I almost learned this the hard way after wading through the flooded streets of Manila.A film of water can always form on the disc surface.
