Part 2
I had ordered a u bolt flip kit online but the mounting plates and u bolts were way off in measurement...so I made my own with 3/8 plate with reinforcements and 3" ID u bolts.These plates dont even budge at all when torqued.
I had shock mounts with 1/2 holes but found out that the shock bushing was much bigger .So I took two small SS pipes ,pressed them together to make a bushing and voila!
She's back on the ground functioning e locker ,little bath before heading out to vermont Overland rally!
Got these puppies for the trip diesel/water
Fast forward to vermont..
First trail ride prep, check the locker....I hear the actuator move but no green light. I take off the actuator motor and find out that the e locker sleeve will not slide in the diff manually either.I left it opened for the weekend and I will take it appart again when I have the time home.
First trail ride with a diesel fj62 ,my truck and 3rd gen 4runner.
Few pictures from other runs
Only time I had to be winched out .Stuck on the rocker..
result
I have other pictures and videos from the event but I am having a hard time uploading them for some reason.
Overall , the event was great! The truck performed well over my expectations as to what it can do with a stock suspension and some 33""tires, really amazing!Too bad I couldnt get the e locker to engage ,but even then not much stopped this truck even with both diffs open.
