Smile New gears and e-locker

Took my truck (2005 f150 4.6l 2wd) in to get re-geared and also went ahead with an elocker earlier this week and picked it up today. Still breaking I the gears so I haven't been able to really get on it, plus it's been raining. But I did just a lil . still need to find a place to mount the switch for the locker. Thinking of putting it on next to headlight switch. I'll post a pick of it when I'm done.

Why not remove the pointless coin holder on the right side where the 4x4's have a switch?

I didn't think about that, but that's a good idea. I think because I might be one of the few that actuall uses that holder,haha. I'll check if it'll fit.

I don't believe you can have both if that's what your asking. I thinks it's one or the other.

Took it to this place here in San Diego called "Pro Gear". The owner There is Mark, pretty cool guy.

About halfway through the break in period he recommended, hopefully I'll get through it next week so I can see the differnce in towing.
