    A bunch a cool stickers, a bada ass MetalMiller Tx Longhorns grill emblem painted Hemi Orange, JBA long tube headers with o2 sims, Diff breather mod, Red LED interior lights, Fancy head unit that plays ipod n movies, Also DIY install factory stuff like, factory cruise control, factory intermittent wipers, OME nitro struts with 886x springs and toy tec top plate, JBA high caster UCA's for better alignmnet and dey beefier too, Old Man Emu Dakar leaf springs in da rear with the gear, U bolt flipper, Ivan Stewart TRD rims with 33" K Bro 2's, some bad ass weather tech floor liners so I don't muck up my interior, an ATO shackle flipper for mo travel in da rear wit the gear, also super shiny Fox 2.0 shocks back there too, all sorts of steal armor for bouncing off of the rocks like demello sliders, AP front skid, trans skid, n transfer skid, demello gas tank skid, and a tough as nails ARB bumper with warn 8k winch, I'm sure there's more
    Interesting, so I guess you would need a transformer to provide the correct voltage.

    A transformer can only change voltage on AC circuits, not DC.

    A resistor or a Pulse Width Modulating (PWM) power supply would generally be simplest solutions... ASSUMING voltage is a problem. It might be fine to put 14v on it, but I am not going to try it at 14V and I am not going to recommend it to someone else when it clearly is outside the proven safe boundaries.

    Here is an example of a resistor type installation (in this case to use an OR rear end with locker on a sport).

    And let me be clear, it is by NO means impossible to do anytime lock, it just isn't easy to do the way I would want to do it (electro-mechanically) and definitely beyond my skill set to do elegantly (using a microcontroller in a OR/Pro). We know enough about the locker system at this point that somebody (not me) could now build a microcontroller solution to do it elegantly.
