the best by far is the Mazda minivan, that thing just started spinning on pavement when we pulled it....it was one nasty spin lol
More of what I meant was the hand brake on our LR's is a drum on the rear output shaft on the t-case. It lockes the front and rear drive shafts in place allowing you to park on a very steep hill with all 4 wheels locked solid.

More useful than the normal cable actuated lock of one of the rear wheel disk/drums. This is why Yeeps don't park on steep hills.

Your rig looks pretty stock (props!) but I can't imagine it being too tippy. You'd probably drag your elbow driving mine! 3" soft springs for articulation, no anti-sway bars and 285/75 MT/R's!
