    Default Locker?

    Anyone ever install a "drop in" locker in there truck? Aussie, lock right, or Spartan? Thinking about putting one in my old 4runner.

    I put a Lock Right in my 67 CJ5 years ago. Easy to do and makes a big difference off road, works as it should. Good inexpensive option for a hunting/mud rig, but I wouldn't trust it for anything hard core.

    Mycousin had a spartan in his bronco. When you turned it sounded like a rifle going off. It didnt stay in therelong.

    I've had a powertrain in one dodge. No big issues. I have a spartan in mine now. It will let you know when it releases. I think it is stronger than the powertrax but damn the noise. But there is no question it's back there when I need it. I really think it is not suited for Columbia's roads.

    They just put a bag of extra bearings in there to torment rp. Figured it would force him to get hearing aides.

    RP what are you driving? My little 85 4runner is s hunting truck. Not to worried about its road manners. Everything I have read says that tight turns on road are the cause of the "pop".

    Slee has them for the 4Runner, will have the ARB as well.
    Yeah, but do you consider a dog to be a filthy animal? I wouldn't go so far as to call a dog filthy but they're definitely dirty. But, a dog's got personality. Personality goes a long way.

    I know all about the ARB and other selectable lockers. For this truck it would be way to much money on a deer/corn hauler.
