e-locker is in and works great!

The locker project is nearing completion. Yesterday, Mike and I put the electric locker third member in. It took from 8:30AM until about 5:30, with a 1 hour lunch break to pull the axle out, perform the drilling/welding/tapping, and then put the axle back in. I haven't been able to test it much, since I haven't re-geared my front yet. The 4.56 gears are a noticeable improvement over stock. I'd guess that once I put 33's on, it'll drive like the stock gears w/32's (which isn't bad at all).

Now, all that's left is the front gears/truetrac, and I have to finally install the CB spacers and ATS A-arms.

Which ones are you interested in? My stock 265/70R16 Goodyear RT/S, or my current 265/75R16 Goodyear MT/Rs?

Congrats on your success. I think that this is the coolest mod you can do on an unlocked Toy.
