I was going up a rock facing this weekend when my jeep stalled (6 speed). Immediately the brake pedal is as hard as a rock. Cause me to roll down backwards slamming into a rock. I almost flipped. Every time I am on an incline I have no brakes. Pedal is very hard and will not stop the jeep no matter if your standing on the pedal. Please help any ideas
And, BTW, I've never heard of an ABS switch mod. Sure you don't mean the ESP switch mod, which I'm pretty certain does not affect the ABS? Or is this just something I've been overlooking (entirely possible)?

Figured it out!!!! I can't believe this was the issue. Rear pads were BAD and rear slide pins on both sides were seized. Changed pads, rotors and pins now pedal is smooth as butter. Thanks everyone

Since your running double-beads + 37's, rear pads are something to watch. I know the rears in general wear out faster. Mine did. Yours probably even more so with the extra weight from your current setup.

Good to hear. Have you had a chance to test it out on a hill with engine off and clutch pedal pushed in? Like I said earlier, I'm experiencing the same issue. I need to get my lazy rear out in the garage and check mine.
