Ian,
Sorry, I meant just the part numbers, or material list. Takes me a while to make sure i have the right relay, or LED, or switch...thanks....I have to make two of these.

instead of 2 dpdt relays, i used 4 spdt (standard automotive 5-pin) relays. cheap and easy replacements. to make a dpdt relay, wire the coils from 2 spdt relays in parallel. the switch is any spdt switch, and the led indicators are just 12v led's. all of this stuff can be had from ebay, radioshack, or advance-auto-zone.
the wire i got off of ebay here (relays to locker):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Trailer-wire-Heavy-Duty-Flat-3-conductor-14-ga-per-10ft-/270384235718?pt=Boat_Parts_Accessories_Gear&hash=item3ef42804c6&vxp=mtr(or search for 3 flat trailer wire. my local rv shop had plenty of it. you'll need 2 runs/6 conductors)
and the servo wire (relays to switches/led's):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-Hitec-Servo-Wire-50-3-Color-57417-NIB-/330867391013?pt=US_Radio_Control_Control_Line&hash=item4d093bba25(hitec servo wire, comes in 50-foot bundles. again, 2 runs/6 conductors)
not this weekend, but some other weekend, i can swing by and show you my setup (maybe you want some help with your front axle, too?)

Thanks Man!
I will certainly let you know, I'm busy this weekend also.
I was going to use the diagram from 4x4wire(i think, It has the three LEDs...lock, locking, unlocking)

yeah, this is the circuit i used:
and the post on wiring:

left-to-right: locker | connections to cable run | under hood | in cab
the terminals of the relay that aren't connected go to ground
wires aren't connected unless there's a -•-

Wow! this is one awesome set up. Love the propane tank idea. Gonna have to read back through your thread cuz you've definitely got a sick rig lol. might have to steal this idear from you.

this is the adapter i'm talking about:
(you'll need to remove the center "pin" and drill it out a bit for better airflow)
thank you

Ian, did you have to modify the housing for the elocker where the yellow circle is on the back of the housing. Looks like a dimple to clear a bolt on the locker.

nope. fit right in. but i guess it depends on what gears you have, too. i have the stock 4.10's, so it's the same as the original gear. bigger gears might rub. once you get a few short studs in, put the locker in and turn the pinion. if it rubs, then you know you'll need to clearance it.
this is what's under my rig right now (plus a bit more taken out of the red areas- i didn't measure the first time, d'oh!), plus studs and a locker

Ian,
I haven't forgotten about getting you the info for the seal adapter on the FF rear. There seems to be a machining issue we are working out at the moment.

cool, thanks. looks like it's gonna be a late '13 / early '14 project for me, but i'm still collecting parts.
and for my future sas, i'm now considering leaf suspension in place of links to keep cost down. i hafta think it over, but the option is there

Links are more $$, but I always consider two things when doing any modification....
1. Is my effort to install this going to be the same to do either?
2. What's the cost difference between the options?
Btw, anyone doing an SAS, get real familiar with a right angle grinder. You are going to spend lots of time under your truck grinding down all the factory welds(and there are plenty), I think I logged about ten hours total. That's no exaggeration, I actually tried to keep track. That is probably the worst part of an SAS. I'll gladly help anyone do an SAS, but grinding, you are on your own.

money-wise, it'll be a bit cheaper with leaves, and time-wise, i can mount some stuff on the truck while the ifs is still on, giving me little down-time.
in the end, they're both money-hungry and involved, but i think i'm better suited for doing leaves right now (it'll cost more money and time for links, and i want to get up and wheeling asap!)
though given the choice (independent of financial restrictions) i wouldn't hesitate to choose links.
