What locker combo/setup would YOU run in YOUR DAILY DRIVER?? I'd like to see what everyone's experience/preference/opinions are one this important question!!??

If I had the money, ARB Air front and rear.

Being me, Aussie front and rear.

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #2 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 02:57:50 PM »

nice, you think the ARB's are tougher than the yota elockers?? i'm getting rear V6 elocker for just shy of $600.... i thought that was a steal! what do you think?

Rockcrawlintoy · « **Reply #3 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 03:19:28 PM »

i would run ARBs front and rear. i run an arb front and a ez locker rear right now. however when i build the new rear end ill run a full detriot cuz its cheaper

The only time I notice them is in snow.

same as a lockrite but you'll have less trouble and less worry about them breaking. had mine for 2 years fornt and rear. the only lockers id put on a toy would be an aussie, for the cheap route, or an ARB for the more expensive route. i do drive mine on the street about once a week but not really in foul weather, and it handles beautifully, once they break in you cant even tell they are back there.

I could be wrong but who knows......

I would go with a Detroit in the rear and any selectable locker up front (read:ARB or elocker) If i couldnt get my hands on a selectable I would run an Aussie up front

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #13 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 05:51:36 PM »

you'd run a detriot in the rear on your daily driver?? arent they straight up posi or do they have some some of Limited slip? there is a hard and soft detriot right?

yes, ran a full locking detroit in the rear of my DD for many years. I wouldnt want anything else. The regular detroit locker is a fully locking unit...either it is locked or unlocked. The trutrac is an LSD type. I dont even know if they still make the soft locker..IIRC it is just a quiter ez locker but not sure

you dont mind the cornering on pavement?? i assume you would get used to it but it would wear your tires out really really fast!!!! do you drive on alot of pavement??

yes lots of pavement...no i didnt wear tires any faster. driving style can determine how much tire wear you experience. the cornering is not bad at all....90 percent of the time i dont even know its back there

twistedtoy92 · « **Reply #17 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 06:32:35 PM »

hmmm.... somethin to think about i guess! i've got an elocker lined up though that i can hopefully get for the price of a detriot!! thanks for your info!!

Gittinit · « **Reply #18 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 06:55:31 PM »

I'd throw that elocker in the rear and put an aussie up front. With locking hubs you don't need a selectable locker up front, but selectable would be nice in the snow.

91 super yoda · « **Reply #19 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 07:00:31 PM »

are you going to regear when you do this or just set it up with what you have. how far in the future is a SAS, ive seen you talk about that a few times before. the reason im asking is because if you have near future plans to do a SAS i wouldnt even bother with a front locker till that happend.

yeah, he bid 610 in the last 30 seconds and i upped my max to 630 but ebay didnt put it in fast enough and sold it to that

for 610!!!!grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!!!

Hayes · « **Reply #25 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 08:14:13 PM »

I am going to get a Detroit rear with 5.29's and an open front with 5.29's for now. I figure one locker is better than none, and this way I can get some of the other goodies that I want and get the ARB when I can pu together the money to buy one.

You still could have lost it even with the $630 bid. He could have bid 1000$ and ebay only put his proxy bid up enough to beat the closest bid.

iv'e had my detroit in the back for a couple weeks now, its my first locker and i can barly tell its there unless i turn really sharp or make a u turn while on the gas. i have detroit in the front too, u guys think even with longs i'll break birffs?

jimbo74 · « **Reply #28 on:** Apr 19, 2007, 10:51:13 PM »

you were happy to pay $610 for an elocker? wow, i have seen them a lot cheaper than that, you just need to know where to look
