Harrop E Locker...anyone running it?

understand that one

 

Please update this thread with the solution as I would like to know what was the culprit.

 

Will do. I would also like to know the culprit.

 

@nudavinci64

Any word on why the locker was not engaging?

I only have it in the front so I have not experienced the slack that that guy experienced with front and rear. The disengage has actually helped me in some situations, but that locker has always worked and gotten me out of tough situations, or made somewhat technical lines seam easy. I have never had it "hop" like that dudes LC. It could be a flaw, or a bonus depending on your situation.

 

Never had this issue. I drive an automatic. I use two feet when driving in situations like this and various other obstacles.

 

I also have an auto and two foot drive through rocks or anything technical.

 

Not yet. Haven’t had time to dig into it. Will report when I do.

 

I've never noticed that issue and I used it last week on a steep hill that seems like it would have caused it. I've never used it in a situation like the video with only 2 tires making contact but that seems like such a rare thing that I wouldn't worry about it.

 

I’ve got them front and rear, and I use both often. In my experience the slip is only about 1/8 of a turn, and most of the time there is enough bind transferring in the axle shafts that helps keep it fully locked when going from forward to reverse.

@nudavinci64 check how the wiring pins were installed into the plastic connector coming out of the diff, it took two try’s to get mine right. You can also check the resistance with a volt meter. These things are stupid simple, and unless it was installed wrong I’m guessing you’ve got a power issue

 

Not issues at all so far,, our home on wheels has an auto,, I typically drove with a lot of left foot brake before getting the lockers (front and rear),, and still 2 foot drive on anything I might fly a wheel on,, and I'm sure I don't drive nearly as much "technical" stuff as the Aussies ;-)

 

how was the install for the 2nd gens and does it work with a regear or only the factory gear set?

 

So,, I am pretty sure they have different part numbers depending on if you are gonna run the 3:73’s,, or go up to 4:56’s or 4:88s or bigger,, hit up Ward @Cruiser Brothers ,,, they have all the knowledge,, and the skills ;-)

 

I run 4.56 gears. My original carrier was a stock 8.4" w/3.73
Work great -all smiles since it has been installed

 

thanks it will be awhile before i decide to do a front locker got more armor and such to do first

 

I'm just running rear locker with YWM up(edit: for)front...(2nd Gen)

 

whats the ywm

 

Yellow wire mod. Gives traction control while in 4Lo. Kind of a poor mans locker. Mine is a 2011.

 

can you do the yellow wire thing on the off road models that are newer and does it make a huge difference?
