That looks pretty sharp. I hate it when I winch the crimp in through my fairlead.. GRRRR.

Took out the wife and kids for a little ride. I HAD to test the Elocker in real world sitiations... We were trying to ride from sams valley to tiller via evans creek but the road was fubar at one point and we had to turn back ;(

 

[retrofive]

What good is a locker then?

 

[gnob]

Trust me, itd of been of no use. Plus i was solo, plus i didn't have boots on, plus...

You know the early 90's 4unners have a slightly longer rear axle shaft that fits a little farther into the E-Locker, which is a weak point I've heard.

 

[gnob]

Um. Pretty sure the axle issue is 80s not minis. My axles hit the crosspin.

Man, having the right door key.....priceless.
My old key from the 79 kinda works on my DS door, but that was it. Not being able to roll the gate down from the outside sux.

I have never been able to roll my gate down with my key. One of the first mods I had to do on the truck was install a custom switch for the back window.

I have collected a few rear window control boxes in my journeys

My wiring is modified stock. All safeties removed.

Rear windows are the best!

Think im going to fab up a guard for the locker motor. Anybody got any ideas pics that i may not have seen online. Think im going to do something more like the Slee 80 guard moreso than the typical mini truck style. I want to cross these two.

I got a prototype built. This didn't go exactly to plan, but it works. I couldn't source a longer stud, so i went to 120mm socket heads.

 

[jamister1]

That outta get the job done! Although if you didn't drive like a 14 year old girl you probably wouldn't need it! I can't believe you are selling that thing and you continue to work on it. Just keep it!

 

[gnob]

Its apparently not going anywhere because no one wants to coin up. Whatever, i grin ear to ear EVERY time i drive it.

 

[2ndGenToyotaFan]

Nice looking guard!

I think he likes working on them, but once they are "done" he gets itchy.... Or maybe he has a new project in mind......

 

[gnob]

Really, alot of recent work has just been slack ass clean up left over from the build. Id left it in a state that was 90% off road and 10% DD. That wasn't really the intent of this build. At this point, im in a good headspace. The truck build was back burnered in my cloudy space. Now that im out of the tunnel, i can button up this project to a more acceptable and refined state. Adding the Elocker, so far, has been awesome. Im basically retarded for not doing it way earlier. In fairness, the 42 debacle would have probably been bad for it. None the less, the driveability is night and day. Idk,. The spool apparently made it ride like s*** even going straight. The freeway ride is much improved.

Sorry for long winded nonsense
