Sure did! My stupid self swapped two wires around when soldering to the relay socket 
Swapped the wires around, and presto, locks and unlocks like it should! Adjusted the brakes out, bled them one more time just to be certain, and everything is buttoned up and in perfect working order now! 
I used trailer wiring for the harness I made; just easier to route the wires when they stick together. After I laid this little schematic out, it was super easy to see my mistake, lol
And a little test video

Just need some different wheels and tires now... although, with these wheels and tires, I bet I could get off the line FAST on pavement drag racing Prerunner!

granted, it's not designed for that use, but if it'll take a beating on the rocks, it should handle a pavement launch 
at least once anyway...

lol, nah I probably wont even use it until I put the new wheels and tires on, BUT, it's one more thing to mark off the list
would LOVE to get a 4x4 in at work that I could strip the driveline from, but I haven't seen a single one in the almost 2 years I've been there... we don't get a lot of 2nd gen Tacomas in, which is why I kind of jumped on this axle when it showed up. but you can bet I'll be keeping my eye out
it wont be as cheap though, because I'll be buying all that outright with nothing to give back in return like I'm giving them my original axle this time around...
guess I could just go big and throw a solid axle under it and a divorced transfer case

I'm looking to do this swap. I just bought a 2010 Sport 4x4. Still currently own a 2005 Off Road Prerunner with the e locker. Thinking about swapping out the third member instead of the entire axle. Any compatibility issues between these trucks I'm overlooking? Thinking about the ECUs, Trac, and eLSD system since some of that changed from 05 to 10
