Here you go, look at this rig:
https://forum.ih8mud.com/vehicles-t...89-hj61-5-speed-cable-lockers-kelowna-bc.html

Also from toyodiy!
ToyoDIY.com

And check out my homemade acuator for the 61 locker in my thread.
I like the way this is going!!

I should have been more specific. I meant to say the internal locking mechanism, as in the locking collar and fork assembly, including how the teeth of the collar engage the side gear of the diff. I have pictures of the 80 series locking diff internal mechanism, not the 60 series version. Granted I have yet to search in places other than the 60 section.

Basically just looking for some detailed pics of a cable locking diff outside of the housing.

I will say though that I saw your custom cable actuator and I love it. I just may copy it

 

[cruiser88]

ah, i see... i think i got some detailed shots at home, but some are in my thread.
Heres a vid that shows the elocker, but fork and engagement is the same on cables.


I'm guessing you ripped up an 80 series!

 

[GLTHFJ60]

I saw that video in the 80's section and was basically wondering if the collar / shift fork mechanism was the same.

Long story short, 80 series trucks have a problem with the rear e-locker in that with lifted trucks and big tires, with the locker engaged they tend to twist the rear axle shafts, preventing the locker from unlocking and forcing the owner to cut a hole in the housing to cut the collar apart in order to get the axleshaft out. My inquiry was going to be:

If the internal components of the 60 cable locker are identical as the 80 e-locker then do cable locked 60 series owners have issues with twisting the long spline rear axle shaft, preventing the locker from being disengaged?

This effect is said to be exaggerated by using PP rear axle shafts as they are designed to twist more before they break.

Does anyone with a cable locked rear have any experience running PP rear axle shafts? Have you ever had a problem with the long side splines twisting on you during mildly hardcore offroading?

I'd probably focus on getting a job first..... Spend every second you have applying following up working on your resume researching to find more places to apply... then you'll have plenty of money for everything else.

or.... spend your time looking for a rich chick.

hahah hey i agree with that rich part if you can find a rich one keep em' but you better hope she likes cruisers more than shoes

but i gave up on finding a rich guy years ago

id say if there is a Fedex around there apply prontooo!!!
i started at 12.88 an hour, full benefits and $3000 college reimbursement
but even with that im working another job to support my cruiser addiction

 

[GLTHFJ60]

Make it the 30th!!!!!

Can't. Some of the Gotham guys can only do the 16th due to work, weekends with kids, etc. Oh yeah, that and it's halloween

You can't make the 16th?
