The magnets work through the door material. Not as good as bare metal would.

Sheesh... MORE stuff to buy. Was kinda hoping you'd say it doesn't work, don't do it... 😆

FWIW, there are cheap imitations of those Arm Rests/Cup holders on Alibaba -- I haven't tried them so no idea on quality, but you can probably guess what it will be...

My 45 and 60 have both had a throttle pedal that was hard at the initial push. Not as noticeable on road as it is off road in low range.

This little bar adds a little leverage to the stock cable/linkage that smooths it out.

Damnit Nolen. You keep upping the game! 😄

I drove it a bunch today. Way smoother throttle.

Quality is probably the same, likely comes from the same factory and is exactly the same as the ones posted. But it's stolen proprietorship. Much better to support a small company that comes up with a great product, who unfortunately has to have it manufactured in the PRC. If you drive a 60 you should be able to buy the real deal and not a pirated product. Don't get me wrong, I've bought some cheap stuff on Alibaba, but it's usually not at the expense of a small time operation. And I do know we all shop at walmart...

@wngrog apologies for the rant. Ole blue looks amazing, and it's looking like monsoon season in Mississippi

Tooled around in it until Lou’s opened and smashed a pork chop @under_psi

exactly what I am looking for . After sniper install my pedal sticks just a bit at initial push. Sometimes making me look like I have no idea how to drive manual

Road trip for OEM parts in Ole Blue today.

Love cruising 80 at 2600 RpM and 33% throttle

That looks like a box in my garage... with a Hood insulator waiting for my 62...

I saw in my memories it’s been a year since the full-float and E Locker project.

I realized the only big trip I’ve been on in Blue since then was to Texas hill country where I don’t think it went into 4WD.

So, that made it an easy decision to get Ole Blue saddled up for a trip to the Ozarks this coming weekend.

Cowboy helped me get it all sorted out. I did a full once-over and everything is nice and tight and greased properly.

Stay tuned.

This H55 with dual Elockers with a nice soft Dobinsons suspension is really amazing. We did some pretty difficult trails yesterday and Ole Blue followed all the 35” triple locked 80s easily.

My rear driveshaft exploded this am. Must have whacked it yesterday. It had bad vibes then blew

I’m making it nicely on the front shaft homeward.

 

[wngrog]

Looks like it took a hit just south of the transfer case. I’ll have to do more looking when I get home. Nose down going 75 mph onto the interstate sounds awesome.

How do you have your dual elockers switched in the cab? Just curious and looking for the best solution. Thanks for sharing all the pics.

I did a terrible job of cutting the holes though
