Hey all, here are a few pictures of the cable conversion I am working on. I've never enjoyed an electronic piece that replaces a perfectly good mechanical system - this really applies to the e-locker, though in sharp contrast, I love fuel injection. The decision to convert the rear unit (and soon the front) to cable operation, rather than wire in the electronics, was a no brainer. Although this is on my 4-runner, I thought many of you could apply this to Cruisers.
The rear half of the elocker gear case was retained, along with shaft and gear. A simple lever was welded to the shaft, an auto trans. shift cable and mount from an early 90's Corolla is used for the lower half. I have the cable run up into the cab, but no further, it is a tad short, so two may be connected. More pictures as it develops. Feel free to ask any questions.
