Thanks!

If I don't offroad as much is it better to lock the front only? Is the road manners of an Auto bad.. I'll put 31's on it soon...

Dang, I guess some day I'm going to have to try somebody's Kick with one of those LSD's in it, but I sure am spoiled, having a "Front Locker" and "Rear Locker" switch on the dash, and turning them on and off when I want.  Sure, ARB's are pricey, but gee, are they ever SWEET!

rear is always better than a front. u only install a front if the rear is not giving enough traction. i will asume u r like the rest of us and r limited by $$$. a lock-rite can be obtained from alot of the vendores listed on the main page of this forum however an ARB is the best option becuase u can lock it and unlock it at the push of a button. a loc-rite locks and unlocks as the rear tires spin at different speeds. for instance when one wheel slips both wheels grip excelent for offroad ok for onroad. mine tends to lock going around corners under acceleration. this increases tire wear. however i haven't broken anything yet and i beat on my rig pretty hard. the lock-rite $219 and the ARB is $698 + air pump $226 + steel line $100 = $1024. like i said it is a money thing.

not true.  i know a few people that only have front lockers and not only does it have better road manners(not in 4WD) but it will pull you over things insted of trying to push you.

Bob..

I'm having some flashbacks from Moab. Bob just smiles and you hear this "Pssssst...." "Pssssst.. " .. :P

And then a bunch of "Aw MAN! You SUCK!"

;D

But.. I'm going incognito.. You won't hear mine this year...  ;)
