YJ just started doing this...

[Concho YJ]

I stopped at the neighbor's gate this morning to drop a package and backed up just fine, but when I went to take off, the right front acted like the brake failed to disengage or something was wrapped around the wheel. I got back to my place ok, and noticed that any time I stopped and took off again, the right front took a bit of a dive. The steering appears unaffected. Visual inspection shows only the worn tie rod ends I expect on a jeep that rarely sees a paved road. I'm looking for suggestions what else to check. I'm about to go try and bleed that caliper and see what happens. Any suggestions are appreciated.

Nevermind. I am apparently a complete moron. I backed it up to jack up the right front to get the tire off. When I went to set the parking brake I discovered it was already engaged. SMDH

Good thing you figured it out, on a JL Forum, for extra points...
