i used the 1st picture below. its for a hi pinion so im guessing land cruiser. the pins are not correct but i just see where they go to and compare it to the correct one i have. i used the relays from aftermarket alarm systems, they use them for the starter kill and its 5 pin relay. i didnt use a resistor but than i havent tired it out yet. i still need to figure out how the switch i got works because theres no diagram for it. its a on off on with 6 pins.
the second picture was the one i was gonna use but couldnt find a 6 pin relay only found 8 at radio shack. i also used this (2nd) picture to compare the 1st picture for correct pins
if the current one i made works. i will only have one light (telling me lock only) the second picture isnt hard to make imo but so much more wiring and cost more since i would have to buy two relay that i couldnt find

thanks. it does help seeing other peoples build. its how i got this far.
on to the elocker wiring. i added a 10amp fuse at the battery before the switch. i tried it out and i was blowing the fuse for some reason. checked my wiring and i think i had the motor wires switched at the relay. i tired it the other way and it works. no more blowing fuses. oh btw i tried this on a second elocker i had so i know it worked. now to install to the truck and run the wires

Nope, ....NOTHING wrong with that trans mount.... You just wanted to spend money, admit it! hahahaha. JK..... WOW. No difference though, eh? hmmmm. Don't feel less shifting of the trans from side to side/up down? I'm getting some wrap or something.... gotta dig into it, .............SOME DAY! lol.
Hope you have a great trip, better get pics!!!! lol.

got the wiring figured out and works great. i couldnt find the million 12v led i have somewhere in the garage so i used a fan lol. everything in the cab is all temporary since im going up tomorrow and didnt have time to run it all nice. besides im gonna run a different switch and use a LED light
so here it is. the most complicated fan switch haha

at the start
a little into the road to the trail head lol
on the trail and 1st stop was a swimming poop climb. i locked it up and climbed it super slow and worked great. if i was open i could have bumped it up
passing a jeep super close
everyone but a few was having issues climbing this due to being super icey
i locked it up and got a running start. 2nd try i was up
i let the FJ go 1st and he kept trying to crawl it up. didnt work after many trys he puts on chains instead of giving it a little gas.... idk why but owe well
went with mostly stockers but lucky they had chains. helped but still had trouble
now this "BA" thing crawled it up with no problems
land cruiser open front and rear took a few runs at it and made it lol
the iced over snow and exposed rocks made it super slippery
running start taco made it easy
the few that made it so far lol
a few more
further up the trail and second spot we played at
i love this photo. the background is awesome haha
this is where we stopped because a group of jeeps in front of us couldnt get past the next hard hill climb. i was too far back to get out and walk to it to see if i could make it. plus the group i went with was mostly stock and wouldnt make it anyways so we turned back if i went with some other guys i would have tried
dont play on your cb or end up like this guy. i winched him up
