can i use a locker and a posi at the same time ? i would like to put a locker in the front and posi in the rear, if so what am i really looking for in marlin catalog? if not which is a posi i can buy for everyday driving  90% of the time and 10% of time off road, rockclimb, mud ponds? thanks

You can do it no problems, but you're kinda doing it backward.  Most people want a limited slip in the front so they can still turn, and a locker in the rear.  Click on the yellow circle with the crawling turtle, go to products and click on differential, scroll down the page and check out the options.

where are you located??  that helps,  but a limited slip  is best for the front,  but to be honest  if you have a locker in the rear your not as likely to get stuck

But wont i have problems turning fast with the locker in the rear? i read something like that on "how stuff works.com" i like to speed alot and do some racing...thanks for the advice anyz more welcome thanks

Well, if you're into turning fast and run a front locker, you'll learn very quicly how to change out birfields in the field.  If you're talking about on the street, then yes, a locker will cause cornering problems.

so my best bet is to go with the locker up front and posi back, oh i forgot to mention when in the city i dont drive on 4x4 its pointless when its dry and no ice and snow, so with posi now summer time on H2 ill be fun when i put street tires on, also my front rim in the street tire and rim will be smaller 18" in the rear and 17" front, i know not to put it on 4x4.
