These driveline brake vehicles are never in a situation where one rear wheel is off the ground or has minimal traction. Otherwise they would not be safe.

Not having a spool would only affect a driveline e-brake is one tire lost traction.

I would say the FJ-40 may be, but we don't need to debate semantics.

Maybe a line lock type valve will fit the bill for you? I have one plummed into the crew for emergency type situations. I'm sure someone will bring up "bleed off" with these and I'll just say 1) It's not intended to be used for long periods of time. 2) I still wouldn't be concerned if it was as the valve used is what a buddy has used in many higher pressure hydraulics systems for work and monitored/tested these for bleed off and found none over semi long periods (longer than I'd ever leave the truck parked on a hill or precarious spot with this thing holding it) of time.
