let us know what you do for wiring up the elockers.... i haven't quite settled on how i want to do it... running it locked for now... you may have to clearance the front third to clear the passangerside spring, i switched several of the bolts on the motor to flathead allen, and broke out the grinder some. i need to find a elocker equipped rig to steal some wiring from. cut the bottom out of that front housing while your at it!

make or scource a skid for the elocker motor. mine has taken quite a few blows, yours is low pinion right? that might give it a little more protection. on the high pinion it really sticks out and is asking to get wacked.
trim the bottom out of your housing while its stripped. i think i gained a bit over an inch under the third, deleted the drain plug and converted the two lower studs to 'drain' bolts.

I had not seen this thread before. Very Cool. I did the 4" TG springs on the front of my '81 Trekker and have got the 5" springs to go in the back, just need to find time. I hope the springs settle a bit. The rear install seems to be pretty straight forward. Any tips?
E-Lockers are great. I have one in my '05 Taco. I got the e-locker skid plate from Sky's. Their design appears to be pretty much a clone of what everyone else has. Definitely get one, mine as saved me already, cheap insurance.
