Lockright???
« on: June 03, 2004, 03:45:59 AM »
Im thinking of getting a Lockright for my Tracker.  How do I know if I need the side couplers?  Does anyone who runs one have any coments or suggestions?

You don't need side gears,
just get the Locker it will be
fine.

BTW  Lockers will open your
eyes to the way you used to
wheel

;D

Actually I have a Scout 800 with lockers front and rear so I've allready "seen the light"  Ive only been holding off because of winter driving up here.  What do the couplers do?

Well, they COUPLE...   ::)

A couple of couplers will couple a couple of gozintos to a couple of comezoutas...

You know, the driveshaft gozinto the diff, and the axles comezouta the diff, to the wheels...

FWIW: Use the Suzuki stock side gears and the Lockright for using the stock sidegears. If you're stock sidegears are too worn, very unlikely, order a new set from Suzuki. It's been my experience that the lockers that use the factory sidegears work way better and are stronger than the lockers that use aftermarket side couplers...

Good Luck, Eric

Thanks thats the info I was looking for.  I guess these Lockrights must be very different than the ones I have seen before where you replace the sidegears as part of the locker.  Ya know like the picture that everyone shows

Stu:
I got it from Calmini.  I know they cost a little more from there but I wanted FedEx.

Stomper:
It was $272 w/shipping thats two day guaranteed.  Ill try to take some pics as I install it but it will most likely be a couple weeks before I put it in.
