I thought I heard somewhere they were an OEM option on some of the overseas Cruisers, maybe different series though

Jimmy (@CenTXFJ60) did it on his 60 before SAS last year. He may have some advice…that’s what got him up Poughkeepsie
I don’t know how well it works otherwise, but it sure is cool….

There is OEM cable lockers on the HJ61 that was just in my shop. I considered doing a setup for the 80 but I just don’t have time.

I have no issues with the E lockers other then You can’t engage the front locker first.
And there’s no good work around that I can find.

OEM cable locker setup doesn’t change that.

True, but in my case I did not use the OEM pull handles and brackets that mount to the underside. So my handles are independent of each other allowing me to select either one.
FWIW, 80 rear elockers have been retrofitted into a fair number of 40 and 60 series cruisers without the original wiring/ecu.
Here is info I used to wire up an elocker for use in my FJ62. 2 DPDT relays, a SPDT switch, a couple indicator lights and some wire.
I used the first diagram shown with 2 DPDT relays (normally closed terminals ignored) and instead of having separate locking and unlocking lights, I wired one "motor" light in parallel with the motor. I used a spare power antenna switch as a momentary SPDT switch to activate the locker.
I now have 2x elocker diffs in my FJ55 that operate independently with this wiring, using repurposed tailgate window switches to activate.

12 volt guy has a kit also> On my toyota truck i installed factroy lockers on both axles I can turn them on and off in any order I choose. I think the kit I first bought was from Inchworm ,who has long since retired.Low range bought them out and I believe they are now part of trail gear.

Cable locker conversion, my way.
Hey all, just want to share my progress with my recently designed cable locker conversion. There's been a few people asking me about this so I figure I would just start a thread now despite not being 100% complete yet. So this all started after acquiring my 97 fzj from my father a couple...
