Unfortunately, the poor engineering undermines the potential for longevity. A less DIY-oriented person may feel unsafe installing this brake cable..

This is the back of the parking brake cable on a Toyota 4WD or 4 runner pickup. I installed this parking brake cable on a Toyota 4x4 with an extended cab. This also works for normal taxis.
