modification is easy. just a small bit of grinding and some tapped holes. the hard part is getting the holes perpendicular. oh, and some built-up welds in the corners.

response time, from the bench test, is about a second or two. not terrible. and you shouldn't need to activate it on the fly. flip it on before you start the hill, turn it off on the flat trail.

 

It looks so simple however I have the slightest clue on how to weld or grind. Looks good though!

 

weld: it's just filling in those corners, so find someone local. shouldn't cost you too much

grind: it's easy, just loud. get a decent grinder from the hardware store, get a face shield, and don't wear open-toed shoes. gloves will help, too.

 

Nice, every nice

 

Oh, I wish these where available in OZ, really nice build.

subscribed......

 

...says the person from the land of the diesel hilux :laughing:

thanks



also, my last package is on the way to my doorstep (out for delivery)

 

Ahhhh, Ok, I hear ya... Yeah, it's a LIL bigger of a project, SAS, lol... SOME DAY, indeed!

Far as this Elocker... I'm so sorry for asking, been overwhelmed and following too many threads, lol.... This is a V6 3.4 E-Locker???? I'll look back again, just thought I'd nudge you into a 'Summarized Finale'! hahahaha.

 

Mark, you get up waaaaaay too early to ask questions. j/k

 

mark- i'll put together a "summary" when i'm done.

i'm not done yet


next up is the wiring. not too hard, just gotta match colors up with the diagram.

pictures from last night's work:



no leaks! (knock on wood)







should be able to drive tomorrow

 

Nice work dude, bet you will be happy to use it at RC.

Mark, I am an idiot, and clearly should not be on the interwebs, obvious since my comment above. I cannot tell time clearly.

 

it's early somewhere...

 

i'm guessing you have this sort of thing sorted out:

 

hittin' up radio shack today, should have it ready by tonight

and yes, that's the circuit i'm gonna use. the hardest part will be finding a place to put the switch...

 

I know the dash in my 92 has lots of blank realestate. And i don't mean blanks(knock-outs) just blank space. I'd dremel out a spot like it did for my dash switches to make them look factory, i think i added two extra spots next to the single switch on the drivers left...just my .02$

 

yeah, i'll probably end up doing that soon enough.

for now, though, i've got a spot picked out

 

hahaha.... I wouldn't have said anything, lol. BUT, actually, I'm often up til 4AM lately... Work+Caregiving+TINY bit of sleep! hahaha. S'all good though.

LOVIN IT, Ian... coming along nicely, nice work!

 

a bit of re-working of the circuit, finding pinouts, etc



a nice, simple circuit

 

Ian,
I heard/read that the elocker has a speed limit, meaning Toyota warns against driving it over a certain speed and has a built in safety circuit to disable it. The speed I hear is 5mph, any truth to that?

 

dunno. i'm not too worried about it. i'll pull out the fuse for daily driving, though

 

5MPH??????? wth? lol.
