test drive a locked rig
« on: Feb 02, 2011, 10:49:56 AM »
any body in or near southern CO got a truck/4runner that is locked in the rear they wouldnt mind letting me take a spin to see how it handles/feels. Ive droven a spooled rig for about a month and I didnt really ever notice it except for warm days it chirped my tires, but I want to see if it was just my truck or I just really dont mind the way it felt or handled and I would also like to sample what other locker are like (detroit,lockrite,aussie ect...) Im in the market for a locker and have been looking at lockrites/aussies but also maybe going full spool in the rear again just want to test it out myself rather then ask someones opinion.
thanks Mike

I'm in Pueblo.  Aussies F&R.  I can swap on the 35's to make it feel more like a street setup.  With the 39.5's, it drives way different than it does with smaller tires.
