Question on E-Locker to Cable Driven
« on: Mar 17, 2007, 02:21:21 PM »
Would it be possible to install an electic locker, but make it cable driven and never have to install the electric motor? I can pick up a TRD E-Locker for about 450.00 from a dealership or less if I can find one in a junkyard, but I like the cable driven due to less possible things to go wrong with installation and offroad situations.

What does anyone think about this kind of installation?
Would there be as much modding needed?

Downey makes the conversion.  The internet rumor is that it is hard to adjust, but you'll be hard pressed to find anybody with first hand knowledge.

Well, if the ideal of excluding the lesser equipped (stock or otherwise) is accepted... there is no fundamental difference between that and a Sierra CLub ideal of exclusion. If we cannot embrace the 4wheel users as a whole. We are not fighting for access. I cannot be that shortsighted

I was only curious. I hadn't really read anything about it only on the internet. There is only a handfull of people that I know that run any type of regear/locker in their vehicles. I have since found a nice 3rd member with 4.10 gears and TRD Locker already installed. I only need to find a good write-up on Mods needed to install the 3rd member into my axle housing.

Any good write-ups anyone knows of right off hand ? ? ?
