    I’m scheduled for next Wednesday! And then 24 hours later headed up for the San G weekend :burnrubber: Not sure I’ll be able to get the lockers wired up in time but that’s not a deal breaker.

    Woo! That'll be sweet! If you have a switch panel you might be able to get at least one wired. Took me less than a day to do on my truck, and I was being pretty particular about how I was running my wires

    I’ve got a 8 switch Switch Pros but it doesn’t have any open slots. I bought a dual function switch to put in the OEM dash blank but what’s got me worried right now is that the locker probably has a proprietary plug that I need to find the other end for.

    You would be correct. Lockers will come with their own wiring harness which includes a big/unique relay box, circuit breaker, and special lockout switch. If you have a plug key set you might be able to unpin the wires from the plug and use them on your switch but I never attempted it

    I was panicking this morning that I'd have to source my own relays & plug and whatnot but a quick lesson on YouTube confirmed that it comes with the entire harness kit like you said. So I'll just snip off their switch and crimp on my own spade connectors for my plug. Loving this 2 in 1 from Team Tech Offroad. I can’t find the info anywhere but does anyone recall how much they charge per locker to wire it?

    Look at you with your fancy switch!

    I'm not sure what they charge for wiring but I do believe that would take them an extra day. Might put you a little too close to San G

    @dumontrider I spoke with Miguel last night and he said it'll be $300 per locker for them to do the wiring. He also said they do try to get the wiring done same day so if you want them to try and do it they can. That'll just be your call

    Oof $300? I'll handle it myself that night lol. Thanks for following up.

    Unrelated to that, I just spoke with them about payment. FYI to everybody here they do accept credit/debit but they offer a cash discount. If paying your bill in cash then they will refund your deposit so the entire transaction can be done via cash. :spending:

    Ooooooh so if you pay in cash, you would technically be getting a $300 discount then (or whatever your deposit was)?? Correct me if I’m reading that wrong haha

    No they’re just refunding that so the whole transaction can be cash. I’m not sure what the exact discount is but you’ll be able to ask them about it

    They should be doing that as well but that will happen as they have time in between jobs and phone calls, so some of those calls will be slower than others. If you're ready to though then its best to go ahead and call them to get that locked in before someone else gets the date you want

    Smooth as silk! That place is about 10x bigger than I expected! The guys were talking about the robbery last Friday. At like 2pm some guy rolled up to the unit they store the hardware in and loaded up his pickup with about $10k (their cost) worth of inventory and :burnrubber:

    I met Ronnie, the owner of Highland Trail Club, today as well. He was getting his 470 done with gears. Once we got their WiFi password figured out we sat there shooting the shit & half ass working on our laptops :typing:

    I got there at 0830 and was on the road at 1300. And that included quite a bit of bullshitting with the staff after they finished my truck. I got the rear wired up this evening and am looking forward to San G this weekend so I can use it in camp because no trails are open :bananadead:

    I only got 1 pic because I wasn’t comfortable enough with them to let myself into the shop. Ronnie knows them all by name and invited me back so I snagged this one while he was showing me his GX

    Robbery!?! I hadn't heard about that yet. That sucks! Hopefully they catch the guy

    @bigbarlo and I are working on small trail plan so there will be something happening at least
