lol been broke the last month or so paying down credit cards 
I actually just found out last Wednesday I'll be laid off at the end of this month.  Corporate came down and said our division had to cut 10% of the work force and I'm the low man in our Quality dept

Actually this weekend I got my rear spring hangers welded on and before that I welded up the frame tubes.  I ran into a little issue with the elocker yesterday.  I clearanced the front housing and it slid right in.  Then, however, it wouldn't come back out no matter what we tried.  I was talking to my friend later that informed me the 3rd's had to be installed locked and I had sortof... overlooked that part when I was reading the elocker websites 

I made the dual relay circuit today from this site and tried it on the other locker I got from you.  It works great so whenever I make it back to my bro's shop I'll get the 3rd out

sorry no pics I been bad about that lately

[86bobbedtoy]

cool
good to get some action on your thread

[70 Cam Guy]

k I took a shot of my locker circuit to add something.  I'll lengthen the wires (obviously) when it's ready to go in the truck

It even has the cool red light when it's locked

coolio :p

[86bobbedtoy]

that looks nice, did you wire and build it?

[skipnrocks]

Cool, and the light is a nice touch!

thanks, I got the box at Fry's for like 5 bucks and the switch too for like $3.  Radio Shack had the relays and the lights.  The panel part came with another box from Radio Shack but the relays were too big to fit so I used the back plate as the panel and added the little machine turning with my drill press after drilling for the switch.  I had to notch the box for the wires and I'll be able to hide it somewhere and lengthen the wires when I install the diffs on the truck.  I still need to make the circuit for the other diff but I have the parts for it.  If I can manage, I'll have our laser welder at work mark the panel for me

I used the wiring diagrams from this site

It's strange I almost get more feeling of accomplishment when I do wiring and it works.  Next up, getting that diff out of my front housing
