Is it just mine or does everyones do this? When I put my e-brake on i can put my jeep in nuetral and it will roll backwards like I dont have an e-brake on but if I put it in drive and try to go it doesnt move. I can push the gass pretty far down and my e-brake works fine but in reverse it doesnt lock.

idk its so weird. it locks when trying to move my heep forward but backward its like i dont have one at all. the cable is tight and everything. its your cable tight? if its loose that might be why
The ebrake resists forward motion before it resists backwards motion, something to do with the spring layout and brake shoes.
Sounds like you need to adjust it a little tighter, how far up are you pulling it? Mine will stop the jeep from going forwards after a few clicks, but with the boat on the boat ramp I need to pull it all the way up to lock them the other direction.
