Have you ever heard of brakes getting so hot that the brake cylinder explodes? Try to google it, and you'll find very few instances. The internet stories that you'll hear about refer to street cars being pushed on a race track. So.... how the heck can this happen in an off-road setting, and more importantly.... (Hulk Hogan voice) WHAT THE HECK WOULD YOU DO, IF THIS HAPPENED TO YOU!

Damn, that sucks! Great reminder that things can and WILL go wrong on the trail. I lost a master cylinder twice, on an Explorer and a Civic. No fun! Thankfully, both times I was able to use the gears and parking brake to safely come to a stop. These days I won't use any type of traction aid that relies on the braking system. I've never hit any of the MTS, Crawl Control, or any other off road mode button, in my Tacoma. I'm just too paranoid of stressing the brake system. I have 5.29 gears and front and rear lockers. I like old school mechanical traction aids. Anyway, another good video! Stuff like this happening just makes for even better conversation over the end of the day beers!

Well said! I feel that a lot of these comments are in denial that this can happen, and here you are telling us this happen to you twice. Prior to this incident, I didn’t even know this was a possibility. I completely understand your hesitation to use brake based traction aids, hehe.

First of all federal vehicle, safety standards require that an emergency brake be a separate mechanical system. Now in modern cars can be electronically operated, but it has to be a separate mechanical system. Therefore, even if your caliper fails, it should still work. Most new large vehicles have an inner drum to the emergency brake actuator on rather than the rotor and caliper. And all my years in motorsports in all my years working as an engineer in the automotive industry, I have never seen a caliper explode. I’ve seen calipers that have been ground down, clear, smaller wheels, and racing applications, not fail. But the key here is to use engine braking so if you have a manual transmission gear down if you have an automatic transmission, lock it in your lowest gear and if you have a low range transfer case use four low, but the emergency brake should always work. I’d love to see a follow up video on this to see what the dealer had to say. I mean I’ve seen rally cars come in with no brake rotor or brake pads left, the calipers still intact, usually damaged, but they still had brakes on the other three wheels and even if you lose a brake line on one wheel, your other axle will still have brakes. That’s why they have dual circuit master cylinders in modern cars loose rear brakes front still work they’re not as effective but they’ll still function. Now with cars with multi circuit modern day, computer controlled ABS systems. It may be cross controlled braking, but you should still have braking on at least two wheels. I heard somebody say something about his dash lit up well that’s the computer’s way of saying you have a critical air. You need to stop now and address it but that also should throw the car into a limp on mode or safety mode, because the cars computer knows if you’re pushing on the brakes, it knows if the car is breaking or not, and which wheels are breaking and not breaking.

Have faced something similar before;- Was escorting one of our company's lorries loaded with oil palm and one of them lost its brakes. My solution that day was to link it with straps to my Toyota Hilux LN106. Every time it need to brake while going down hill I would use 1st gear 4L and feathered the brakes while that lorry shifted down to the lowest gear it can go to and used engine braking. We did that for about 20km over ungraveled trails until we reached pave roads where it was mostly level all the way to the mill.

@MrVwijetunge 8 ай бұрын

I think when the rear one failed the fronts worked until the master cylinder ran out of fluid. The master cylinder is designed so if the front brakes fail the rears work or if rears fail fronts work. The guy should have pulled over immediately after the warning to check instead of driving until all the fluid leaked and caused zero brake pressure in front and rear calipers

This is scary! My e-brake was maladjusted on our trip to Colorado too. I adjusted them as soon as I got back home. The problem with e-brakes is that they only lock 2 wheels. On a steep grade it may not be enough to stop the vehicles momentum.

Great video and I am glad everyone was safe at the end. I am an ASE master tech and keep wondering a few things. At first I understand the master cylinder fail, and got interested in the video, but later understood he mean the LR caliper cylinder, which correlates a bit why also the E!brake fail once rotor broke. Yet aa far as I know all vehivles required 2 systems master brake cylinders, so when this happens you still have 2 wheels, sometimes they cross left rear and right front. Or front/rear which is less common. Anyhow I have a GX470 and wonder myself what really happened. Being in low gear could contribute to the feeling of no brakes because of the torque even at idle. Or air in part of the orher half of the system. Be safe. I need to adjust my E brake. 😊. Also a good reminder, red light on the dash means Danger, orange is a warning. But typically when you see a red light you should assest the failure right away.

Yeah, I’d say so too. With his regearing, he’s at 40:1, he does have 35” tires though, which are 4” taller than stock. Which brings him back down to 35.8:1 which is really close to the stock 33.6:1. A 10 mph freefall with engine braking sounds about right.

Oh wow! You've experienced a lot, that's for sure! 100K Brake service sounds like a good idea. I'm actually thinking about a brake upgrade now that I've added more and more weight to the rig. I've only added what I think are necessary lbs, but the rig is starting to feel heavy. Last time I weighed it was 5400 lbs, without me in it. The suspension is beefed up, but not the brakes.

@iluvdrt8776 7 ай бұрын

They start to get heavy. My OBW clocked in around 5600lbs with me in it. Fortunately, my brakes are still more than adequate. I need rear suspension upgrades 100% though. It's not as planted as it was. Dampening is terrible in the rear. It has way too much rebound and it'll bounce sometimes kicking the ass out.

@timhardman4764 8 ай бұрын

Great Video Jon. Such an important topic. Pilots always know throughout their flight....where can I land if my engine dies....they are always thinking about this and aware of the closest airport to them or open fields, farm land, golf course, etc.... This video reminds me to always know....where will I bail out if my brakes fail on a downhill. There is always a startle factor with this kind of failure....several seconds of "I can't believe this is happening" or "what the heck broke" which is extremely critical time during which your speed will quickly build up possibly limiting your options or the severity of implementing those options re: damage to vehicle or injuries. The longer one waits to make their decision on how to slow/stop the vehicle the worse the outcome. We should all have a plan when going down a steep hill and analyzing the options for an emergency knowing at all times, if there is a braking failure, will I immediately turn left, right or continue straight for a better opportunity slightly ahead. As you mention in the video, know your rig and what you can do immediately to slow things down with an emergency brake or a transmission that can be down shifted or put into 4LO (I have to stop to get into 4LO so that's no help) or decide at the start of the downhill to do it in 4LO just in case. If we are not paying attention to the surroundings for a bail out option and/or have not rehearsed in our mind what we can immediately do to our vehicle to slow it down quickly to help maintain control and/or stop it, we are destined for a much worse result. I had an "almost" incident while out riding with a group in some VERY hilly areas. I was not familiar with the trail, we came into an area of deep sand with some whoops and I had not experienced deep sand handling with my vehicle before. Things felt mushy/spongy, steering, braking and accelerating as we all plowed through it. I assumed it was just the sand causing these "handling" conditions. The leader announced on the radio a long sketchy rocky hill climb loop ahead and a flat area on the left to park if you wanted to sit out the hill climb loop. I love hill climbs but I pulled into the flat area where another Jeep was parked to sit it out. I crawled under my rig and my left rear brake line was leaking fluid. Had I gone up that hill climb without checking under my rig first, it would have been a very expensive and terrifying ride down the other side. It turned out on one of the Whoops coming into the sand, my oversized (for the space) spare tire mounted under the back end made heavy contact with the ground/sand and damaged the hard brake line running across the rear axle causing the leak. We were able to do a trail fix with two vise grips, zip locks and duct tape plus a spare can of brake fluid. I was able to complete the ride, with some significant downhills but I did those downhills in 4LO and with awareness as to my braking limitations.

@JonDZ_Adventuring 7 ай бұрын

Well said Tim! That experience you shared is eye opening, it's such a random issue. On a trip we did to the Utah BDR, we had someone damage his brake lines running into some foliage. We were able to use vice grips to stop the leak, and our friend was able to drive into town to get his brake lines replaced. The following day he had his power steering randomly fail. That was a reminder that it's not a matter of if something will will break, it's a matter of when. Like you said, we should be prepared for these situations. I like how you said, "If we are not paying attention to the surroundings for a bail out option and/or have not rehearsed in our mind what we can immediately do to our vehicle to slow it down quickly to help maintain control and/or stop it, we are destined for a much worse result."

Woah! Glad you are all safe and good to see you all adventuring hard and helping each other out. I wonder if the slots in those power stop rotors enabled some kind of rock to get jammed in there which led to the eventual failure. If brake loss happens If you are Low range you definitely can pop it into L1 which will definitely limit your speed and then kick the e-brake. Winches are not rated for dynamic loading (being used while moving) so better to use a strap than than the winch itself for this.
