Hey guys! Just adding a couple points I totally forgot to mention in the video. Dark Illusions sell these harnesses for $135, a solid option if you consider what Low Range sells their harnesses for. You can also swap your factory elocker harness with this to eliminate the locker ECM, bypassing it's restrictions, and making the locker work no matter what your t-case position is. Dark Illusions also offers custom switch faceplates! Thank you for watching everyone.

[@Red_Beard_Builds]

Congrats on 10k that’s awesome I’m obsessed with the dual cases man 😍

[@DirtGarage]

Thanks so much!! The duals are the way to go, so glad I did it.

[@SteveJayWiseman]

Awesome that this channel is finally growing! I have been very grateful for your build videos and all the inspiration you have given me, congrats on the 10,000! So my rigs are a 2000 V6 4runner, custom 4"lift 285-75-16"s iron man mud terrains, 488 gears, winch bumper and rear e-locker, I also just got a 2003 Tacoma V6 double cab that I've installed a 3" lift with 33-12.50-R17 mud terrains, and 488 gears with a rear e-locker.

[@glennhobbs59]

Favorite video is the twin stick transmission swap

[@boondocksoverlandandoutdoors]

And I got excited when I hit 50 subscribers haha, great content man love the positive energy on all vids! And of course the Yota content! 🤙🏽 my Yota build is a 84 Toyota 2rz swapped yota.

Congratulations on the 10k. Also it was pretty cool to see you on the Tundra Dude 34 live-stream earlier

I used to jump on those from time to time. Been a while!

[@DirtGarage]

Thanks! Will do!

[@mikejensen-fogt4662]

awesome job getting past the 10K mark man!!! congratulations! I don't have a use for an e-locker harness right now but maybe in the future lol....

[@DirtGarage]

Thank you! Never know, might eventually find a use for it.

[@prestongrasdal6184]

I have to remove my rear carriage anyways to fix the leak in my 90s 4runner and this gave me the idea of just installing a locker while its out, i like how much thought you put into the details of some of these videos, love to join you on one of your adventures sometime🤟

[@manuelvalenzuela1881]

Dude ur very specific in detail thanks man u rock!

Now I just gotta go 100,000! Haha

[@w.w.beason9183]

Looks like an easy install! I drive a 86 Toyota Pickup, stock except Old Man Emu suspension and a homemade flatbed. I have a complete Tacoma e-locker rear axle to swap in the rear, just need bearings, brakes, and a harness! Blueyota86 is the name!

[@DirtGarage]

Super easy!

[@dylanromine4101]

Love the e-locker video. Just got one myself a few months ago and havent installed it for modification reasons

[@paultthompson]

10k! 89 4Runner, sas, dual cases, 5.29s, 3.4L swapped , 35” krawlers and a bunch of custom armor. I have two E-locker housings I am planning to swap and move to 37” mud terrains. Love the look of the 37” tires on the trucks on your channel.

[@DirtGarage]

Very nice! Yeah we pretty much all run 37s nowadays. They are just a perfect size for all year wheeling, little to big for summer, little to small for winter. But right in the middle.

[@epicurusgod]

10K subs WHAAAAAT?!?!!!!?!!! Congrats!

[@DirtGarage]

Thanks!!

[@Thexkidd]

Awesome. Also, got my stickers!

[@bryantrice898]

I could use 2 of those harnesses. I have e-locker diffs front and rear in my samurai. 🤘

[@DirtGarage]

Right on!

[@atch9790]

10K congrats 🍻

[@DirtGarage]

Thank you 🙌

[@tonyash8080]

@hashntash love the channel. I have a 1993 4Runner 3.4 swap with a homemade elocker harness. I don’t to use that slick harness!

[@DirtGarage]

Home made is nice! Super easy. This is just for the people who either are afraid of wiring, or don't want to waste their time wiring when they can just buy a harness. Personally I'm cheap, naturally I will always go to the DIY method.

[@tonyash8080]

when I Wire Harness, I like using Hockey Tape as top layer to keep mah wires TOUGH! also a self vulcanizing kinda tape and uhm... crimp'n'solder!

Huge Congrats on 10K!!! I need one of these harnesses for Samantha the 2wd to 4wd conversion I am working on. I hope I can win!

Fingers crossed!

[@jmo3262]

No details how you wired up the 4x4 light and reverse lights? Im in the same situation with my 3.4 swap 1st gen 4runner

[@stephendecoran6333]

Congrats on the 10k! Favorite video was the E locker swap video, was the only actual step by step video i saw to do it. I drive an 85 Toyota pickup on 40s a 91 Toyota Land Cruiser with a manual 1HD-T. @wheelin_steph

[@DirtGarage]

Awesome! Thank you!

[@driftlizard9081]

What's your opinion on lunchbox lockers? also Congrats on 10k subs.

[@DirtGarage]

I really like my lunchbox locker in my rear. Its a Lock Right. Super easy to install, reliable, and doesn't scrub down tires on the street like a welded diff or spool. However on the front I would not run it, way to hard to turn on trail, and is just going to cause excessive wear on front end components. Selectable front is ideal, but 100% recommend lunchbox rear, not worth spending the money on air or e-lockers.

[@kyhillbillys10]

I run a Spartan locker in the front with no issues. Easy to turn while sitting still and locks up when ya give it throttle.

[@emilyp929]

So happy for you. I always wanted an e locker harness. If I win, you know where to find me. Hehe

[@frankfilippone9679]

Great work

[@DirtGarage]

Thanks

[@eotsam]

Friend, could you help me by explaining how to adapt the Toyota E-Locker to a Toyota 8 "rigid front axle. Thank you, have a great day.

[@samuelromero2320]

This will work if I already have a auxbeem switch panel? And make it work with that

[@glennhobbs59]

So awesome

[@kyhillbillys10]

Congrats on the 10k. I got a 93 Toyota pickup with all the normal stuff dual cases, SAS, gears, locker, 63 springs, ECT with a few goodies. Next on the list is RCV shafts and an elocker for the rear. Check out my build @hillbilly_noma
