Ran Eaton cables tight on the frame. Not happy how much play is on the rear connector so will revisit

Was initially going to go with Eaton switches but room is limited for them…so opted for the OEM switch route. Will prolly write out some specific instruction on how I did it but basically followed:

Harrop E-Locker using OEM Switch and Dash Lights in a HDJ81 / FJ80
I decided to put this thread together for anybody wanting to wire Harrop E-Lockers into an HDJ81 or FJ80 using the OEM locker switch and locker dash lights. I found most of the info spread out over a couple of other 'Harrop" threads and wanted to put it all together in one place and add some...

The Eaton relays are huge so actually installed them on the right hand exterior firewall. Used a rail and ran the wiring through an available grommet
Also added center diff switch
Pretty happy with. The 488s feel great on the road.

Your set up matches mine. I love how it works for me. I think you’ll be very happy with yours.
Detailed write up would be good. I’m looking to do the same. Torn between ARB because the factory switch is easier to wire but would prefer Elockers.

Hey Broski,It would be really nice to be able to turn on just the front locker !!!
Can’t do that with the OEM switch!
I would advise you to reconsider
Glad you brought it up! Good point about the benefit of the Eaton locker switch. I actually wired it to give me the option to switch between OEM set up and the Eaton switches. Not done yet but basically used connectors so that I easily make this switch. Not done yet though but thinking of adding the Eaton switches next to the rear fan switch with all the wiring already there. More to come…
Nice
It’s the only thing I don’t like about my OEM lockers
I can’t run just the front!!

I believe my truck was one of the first 80s to have Eaton/Harrop installed in the U.S. No better locker and no better installer than Zuk IMO…excellent choice all around Oh yes I did!

No I was able to download it. It's legit, very comprehensive with pictures. Was blown away at the effort to write this up.

Your nut hugger tabs need to be bent onto your nuts!!! Great job on the install. Seriously those tabs need to be bent down to do their job from letting the nuts come loose.
