Stage Two has begun!

It's nice to see a lot of the people on this forum are choosing to go with quality parts such as Savvy, Currie and various other brands.
Those are just a few that come to mind, but I like seeing it. Sometimes I grit my teeth when I see people choosing the cheapo stuff that is made so poorly.

I'm a big fan of doing things right the first time... So much easier than having to go back and re-do everything!
OP
For future reference, the routing of the wires to the lockers is fairly critical and if you can run a wire safely and protect it, you can also run an air line safely and protect it.
So yeah, you do have to worry about it and you have to worry about both exactly the same. How many times have the air lines and wiring to your pumps you have now failed due to physical damage, or heats?
If the answer is zero, then that's because the factory spent the time routing them safely so they are decently protected and anyone else can do the same whether it is a small air line or a pair of wires.
If $$$ is not a serious problem I'd go for ARB with its sterling reputation any day over the E-Locker.
You know I like my ARB's but we've been using the E-locker a whole bunch and there hasn't been a single issue with them. What do you know that I don't?
I've read nothing but positive things about the Eaton E-lockers. While I don't think they've been around as long as ARB, I don't think I would say that ARBs are far superior to the E-Locker. Well, at least not that I've read about thus far.
Loving the E-Locker that replaced my Rubi rear locker. If the front ever goes out, E-Locker is going in the front.
If you snag the E-Locker electrical wire, a few seconds with a pocket knife a round of electrical tape and you are back in business.

Stage Two Point Five!!!
More parts goodness is pilling up...
Savvy sliders, and Currie Antirock!
Mopar radiator, water pump, and trans cooler lines are waiting for me when I get home also.

Nice!
Looks like a good project you've got going on there.
Has this stuff been going on your Jeep? Or are you going to wait until you get everything before you start on it?
Be careful that your wife doesn't see those greasy shocks on the carpet!

Well, I guess that's one advantage of being singleBe careful that your wife doesn't see those greasy shocks on the carpet!
Haha, no kidding! My wife would kill me.
Actually, I wouldn't do it to begin with, the kids would get into it!
OP
I did actually make sure nothing greasy was really touching the carpet... But, there definitely is a serious pile of parts in my living room area
Yeah, not so much if you pull the wires out of the diff grommet. But, if you do the same snag on an ARB air line, a few seconds with a pocket knife and a push to connect coupling puts you back in business.
