Then three days of wheeling with no major breakage.
Heck yeah dude! Sounds like you're dialing in thejust right - dragging on it's side
You need to take some finished interior (back of cab) & suspension pics. What trails are you wheelin?
I'll get some more pics up.
Chicago Toyota Jambo at the Cliffs
Ran a some pretty hard trails. Only really ran into trouble on the one. Lost the bolt that keeps the steering shaft tight to the box and took a bad line into a deep hole.
I sure hope someone took more pics. I didn't have a camera at all. Woody took a bunch and has some great ones of some shoeless dude standing on the 55.
That thing did amazingly well Todd. I am now fully torn about the exo.
Might just stick to beating the 40.
Thanks again for curing my running problem on the pig. I still have full wood from actually wheeling the thing a bit.

Deeply Confused
Eric- I'm glad your wood went down before you were riding with me. Or is that what you call full wood. 
I got just a couple of pictures with the cellphone camera- so I'm hoping Woody's pictures accurately show how messy Saturday was. That was a sloppy good time.

And that shoeless guy was Al.

We didn't sleep too good in the storm Friday night so me and Cerdito took a little nap on Saturday.

Six shooters are here. Spent much of today fitting an ox locker shifter to the e locker.
It went pretty well. I drilled the end of what is left of my engagement rod to accept the 1/4 -20 thread on the cable. Welded some pipe to the plate I made where the elocker actuator was with a 5/8 nut welded to the end to accept the cable sheath.
Ran the cable and it works.
I need a spring to unlock. Ox uses springs in the locker to disengage. I bought some on the way home that should work.
Got the springs. It works great on the hoist. Well see how well it works on the trail the weekend after next.

Good work, I love the e-locker design. Is there a reason why you wanted to ditch the electronics? It's super easy to wire up.
tasty, tasty pig knuckles.
38 cut TSL SX work great.

more on that locker cable mod, please. Where to get the cable and where is the actuator rod cut, and must see how you rigged the unlock springs. I would so rather have cable. and what keeps the thing engaged, does it ever unlock on you pics of dash side of cable if you got em and oh yeah, your truck plain sux
