around the 7:00 mark and thereafter, a trick to avoid having a likely short develop later, cut the two wires offset to each other. On the one cable end, cut the white wire 3" longer than the black wire, and on the other cable cut the black wire 3" longer than the white. Slide individual heatshrink tubing over them before soldering, plus use a heatshrink tube for the whole cable assembly that has water-resistant adhesive inside. This way your two solder-joints are not right next to each other so if somehow the heatshrink fails they're not able to immediately short, your two solder-joints are individually heatshrinked, and your whole joint is covered with that adhesive helping to keep moisture out.

Nice video man. For the plastic e-locker connector, don't bother with the overpriced piece from Nissan, Dorman sells the part for $15, give or take.

Nice how-to video. Pretty straightforward Getting that wired up. In my Off-road xterra, it came with the E-locker. Sometimes it takes a while to engage and disengage. How do you know when it’s engaged or disengage when you go this route?

The sound is pretty audible when the switch is turned on.

When butt splicing wires, you are better off with high quality crimp connectors and crimper. A cold-solder joint is likely to crack and fail. Also soldered joints have a higher likelihood to break the individual strands if the cable moves. There is a reason automotive processes use crimp connections. Most people can't solder. The learning curve for crimps is much easier. A good crimper can make a fair tech look like a star. There is no such analog for soldering.

Can y’all do a video on the Dobinsons 2 inch lift for 2nd Gen Frontier

Maybe in the future!

23:52 the "two little fins" aren't supposed to be clamped down - they are designed to flex when inserting into the connector, then once you push past the fins they pop back out and lock it in place. Otherwise nothing is really holding it to make sure there's a good connection with the female side. Also, title makes it seem like this was going to be an elocker install video vs just wiring one that already exists.
