Default Some pics and some problems...

I was out muddin' yesterday and the JK seems kinda sluggish. I checked the air filter and it seems fine, I am wondering if anyone ever had a problem with the E-brake sticking? Anyway, any suggestions would be muchly appreciated. Here are the pics as promised. Sorry for the clicky, clicky...

the last pic looks like your front air dame / plastic crappy skidplate is a little worse for wear. because you have so much dirt / mud/ junk under there, I would pull off the wheels in the rear and give it a good cleaning , that mud tends to gum stuff up that may solve your problem. the rear brakes may have some mud in them

e-brake sticking is quite common when mudding, you have mud inside the drum portion of the rear disc

two options, go to the car-wash and lay under the jeep and power spray inside the read disk, between the backing plate and the disc, if that doesnt fix it, just remove the rear wheels and take the discs off and clean the mud out

I was thinking the E-brake was the guilty party...but was looking for other opinions!
