SHEET METAL BRAKE Actually, one time on the highway, with broken brakes, I scraped the curb to a safe stop. Log this in when all else fails. Page 125 of SHIFTING Into 4WD offers: I call it your sheet metal brake. Have I ever done it? No. Have I ever seen it done? No. Have I ever heard of it being done? No. Is it a viable alternative to death? Most assuredly, yes! Regardless of how much you value your 4X, is it worth more than your life? If not, read on. If yes, have your head examined. You always have the option to scrape the wall. If gears, brakes and prayers don’t get it, use body metal! Not a pleasant thought, but it is a plan-ahead option. Yep, got 50k miles on 'em and haven't relined them yet! Preview SHIFTING into 4WD.
