1979 Jeep CJ5 with '72 304 V8, MC2100carb,T150 trans, AMC20 rear diff with locker, Dana 30 front diff, Dana 20 Tr Case, Procomp Springs, Gabriel Ultra shocks.
The PO completely removed my parking brake system except for the foot mechanism in the cab. I recently had the cables and parts re-installed on my CJ5 and it wont stay engaged. After setting it, it will pop off after a period of time. Any ideas?
 
I believe that will be a problem with the peddle locking mechanism. either the spring is week and it will not hold the plunger in, try pushing on the release when you set the brake, or the ratchet is stripped and the peddle assembly will need to be replaced to work again.
