I got tons of pics and the front diff has been put through its paces. I
just haven't written up anything yet. I think a new article would be
better than a revision of the old article. Here is why:

1) Rewired the rear relay control box to work with a FJ80 dash switch.
2) Wired a 4Runner Locker ECU for the front locker to work with the FJ80
dash switch.
3) Installed a hi-pinion locker in the front axle. Clearancing had to be
done.

The rear locker comes with a skid plate...not very beefy. The front one
doesn't. I haven't hurt either locker after dragging the axles across
rocks. I have bent a RS9000 though :-)
