Front IFS Diff Locker

ok update, So I talked to ECGS I got a green flag from them they are willing to assemble the IFS clamshell with the front locker from harrop. I talked to mark from harrop and they are willing to ship to canada. I got half the funds for the locker and I will finalize the front locker assem in march with ECGS... This is gonna be sweet.

 

Nice job being persistent.

 

Holy hell...finally after wading through the BS I finally got to the topic of this thread.
Try to get some install pics, thatd be perfect.

 

Subbed for reading at a later date

 

This was a pretty funny post but in all seriousness for updates as they come about

 

Hope it works out. Good Luck

 

When i talked to ecgs they went through my info with me and agree it should work.. ill ask them really nicely if they will take pics while building. That is all for now.

 

Agreed.. when the time comes i have to call them to notify that im shipping them the locker.... Ill ask then..

 

So after much consideration

I have put a call out to my supplier in my local area, he has a DISTINCT strong possibility of this being able to be picked up while at KOH

if that happens he will be diving into my spare front diff in the hopes of making this happen, he makes this happen, his supplier will be advertising this as a line for sale

So keep your eyes open I am working with my guy to make it happen

If this does work, Ill have a rear 3.73 arb locked third up for sale

 

You locked your rear without regearing it?

 

nah not yet lol, I have a spare rear third, so it would be a perfect opportunity for me to get rid of both at the same time

I guess I could offer a front and rear set-up too, with the purchasers choice of gears but at that point it would have to be a canadian customer to ensure they can afford the shipping

I was just in the process of getting my gears and lockers done when my supplier/gear guy was told to f off by ARB lol, (politics regarding him being heavily sponsored by Yukon for KOH), So if he can make the front an e-locker Ill switch to a grizzly rear and call it a day

 

Sub'd find this very interesting. Been considering air lockers, but have been concerned with moisture freezing in the lines freezing during winter cold snaps. An elocker would greatly simplify this.

 

see nothing as of yet Life has bit me in the ass, may will be the make it of break it month for sure.

 

Interested to see how well the e-locker will work without a flashing indicator light in the dash telling you if it's fully engaged.

 

lol i dont need lights to tell me its engaged.... I just need a switch with a light on it, once pushed in, engages, if it doesnt engage one tire spins the other doesnt, means back up push in again, really simple, youll also here the click considering its right below you .....

 

ARB's don't have lights to show you they are engaged either. haha

 

^ARBs engage more easily, from what I read.

 

I have an ARB up front and E-Locker in the rear and I don't think that the ARB is that much faster than the E-locker. One big advantage the ARB has is that it is in the front so when you turn to the left or right to get it to line up, there is a bigger difference in the wheel speed between passenger and driver wheels up front than in the rear so the front will typically engage faster for that reason.

I have noticed that the E-locker disengages faster most of the time. Not sure why that is though.

 

This elocker is not the same at toyotas elocker, where it needs an actutor this just activates an electromagnet and it locks once lined up. On the side note in the cab this locker will hook up no dofferently than an arb on the dash. Have a button with a light or with out its all up to you guys how you rig ur units. Myself im rigging with illuminated switch when engaged... Really no different than a blinking light on the dash will tell you.
