Yardsale 08-02-2002, 12:10 PM Heard of a locking differential that uses an electric magnet to lock. It's an interesting idea. Supposedly, the electromagnet is in the differential housing with only two wires coming out - no motors, no compressors or air lines. Anybody heard of this?

Not familar with that one, but I think somebody's working on a superconducting locker, was it Curie, or...? Kendo 08-02-2002, 01:24 PM Ever look under an FJ80 with electric lockers? I think it's the same principle and comes from the factory. I know, I have one (or two actually, front AND rear). :D Yardsale 08-02-2002, 01:34 PM Eaton makes it - pretty slick. www.traction.eaton.com/prod1.htm (http://www.traction.eaton.com/prod1.htm) TR 08-02-2002, 05:47 PM Originally posted by Kendo Ever look under an FJ80 with electric lockers?

But they're still cool. :cool2: And the fact that they come from Toyota makes them even cooler. :D I wasn't sure how they worked exactly, so it's like an electric OX locker? Ingenious. TR 08-02-2002, 06:56 PM oh tehy are bad ass as hell, i was gonna put one in the front of mine but i ran out of funds.and yes it is basicly a electric OX Kendo 08-02-2002, 07:03 PM All that and hi pinion too, yea, it's a bitchin setup aight. I always said if anything happened to the Cruzah, I was gonna take that shit and throw it under the Heep. :D My God, Toyota shit under a Jeep, I would be boo'd off the trail!!!
