Its just like a thread you start and say hi here's my jeep, this is what I've done, this is what needs to be done, etc, and you post pictures and stuff. Its pretty cool for other people to follow your build and and see what you've done, and take ideas from it and stuff. Haha 
& the ebrake shouldn't be too hard, what'd they brake?

The towing company must have put their chains up over the cable and broke it...I'm just assuming. All I know is that the ebrake was fine when it left and the line was hanging by the rear tire when I got it back. People!!! I swear...

Most likely just a dirty NSS. The NSS is adjustable but without removal and rehab, you may adjust it to get your reverse lights working properly only to discover that it will no longer start in "P" or "N" or either and I suppose reverse lights are nice but a bit useless if you can't start your rig.

It seems to me an easy r&r is far better than trying to bypass it

the NSS should only be bypassed in an emergency to get off the trail and home, and doing so will cause you to not have reverse lights, and may throw a code.
This has been discussed a TON. You need to either clean or replace the NSS if you expect to pass a safety inspection and have reverse lights. Wiring a switch up is just retarded IMO. The fix is simple and will only take an hour or two....just do it
