My Rover

[DiscoveryXD]

Thanks, I'm actually thinking about building a whole bunch of those fishing pole holders if I get enough interest in them. I've had some sheet metal in my garage for a while now and I think it's about time I use it for something....

This inspired me to do the same thing in my Cherokee. I still have to mount it though. I don't have enough room between my seat, but I might put it further up on the center console by my knee.

glad to hear it! post a pic when you're done.....

I have actually seen these in person and I must say they were very impressive. Matt's fabrication skills are very impressive.

some final pics... I'm waiting on some small spacers to level the springs out, then it's on to wiring the locker when I have time (worked the last 6 days straigt)

i'm gonna do this when keith comes out with the DII conversion when i have money at the end of next summer. rear locker and sound of mind on 33's here i come!

Well I guess this is it with the toy conversion. I'll hopefully do the front some time this summer.

Machined aluminum wedges make the springs happy.
Mounted the resistor next to the seat frame cause that little bastard can get hot!
and lastly the modified switch panel all lit up. The red light only comes on when the locker is fully engaged.

I'm not a fan of the e-locker guards on the market, so I decided to build one myself. I built mine so it sits flush around the diff and bolts to the axle on the back. That way when I hit it on a rock, the forces are spread out over the diff and axle housing, instead of the locker bolts.

Finally got to take the truck out and have some fun. It's been almost 6 months since I was able to run trails like this because of the rear axle debacle... Got lucky cause it was the last day before the weather took a turn for the worse.:jumping: Oh, and the toy setup passed with flying colors! The e-locker worked just as fast as the ARB up front.

Very nice. I am jealous.

Awesome shots! Glad you finally got it working the way you like.

Nice work Matt.

So, we're doing a trip next year?

Nice work Matt.

Will that make me the lonely yellow disco in a fleet of white ones?

I'm down to start planning something out. I may be busy during the summer with my career (don't want to go into much detail on here) but it sounds good to me.

Any ideas on where?
