I know I may have paid to much. ..It's 6 years old with minimal beatings....

I have a set of 4.88's waiting for an install...I need to move this project along..

not sure how you use a locker slightly ... Did he take it out when not in use ?javascript:void(0);
Head Scratch   How do you know how had they used it ? i would have went with new... hopfully it works for ya

"did i get hosed??"


    dude, they beat you with the dang hose

[ezthere]

ya kinda thought so.....Never bid on when your having a few 

[WHITE_TRASH]

I dont think thats all that bad for a full case detroit.  Considering they have a lofetime warrenty Id say its worth paying $100 under what most places charge for them.

[ezthere]

I was kinda thinking the same..Some places on the web wanted over 500 for a full detroit..That's a rip...

I paid 2 something for my Aussie lockers and they are still only "lunchbox" lockers.  The full Detroit like the one in the front of my Jeep is boss. 

[awhotrods]

that was alot for a used locker     I never buy stuff like that on ebay, it always turns out to be junk!!  Hope it works for you!!!

Where?? I looked and looked and i could't find any lower than 410. Not that 20 bucks is that big of differance but still...


As long as the locker works who cares how long he had it. I don't think you got hosed if it works fine for you.

[79coyotefrg]

yea come on have you installed it??  does it work??

[ezthere]

I don't like buying used stuf on ebay either...If it's new and hung around in the garage for years thats another story...But the locker, very rarely do you find them on ebay..

Its got a life time warranty. I just couldn't see spending 480+ shipping costs.

Have not recieved it yet..I will let you guys know.

I didnt know they had a lifetime warranty, good thing to learn

[ezthere]

I didn't know that either...Now I am thinking about the front locker ....Trash explaned the Truetrac. I don't want that. I guess another Detroit will have to do...The biggest tires I will run would be 39's....I don't ever see myself crawling boulders, unless I ship her to Guam for there off road compitition. What I do see is, hauling and pulling.. This beast will eventually be shipped to the Philippines 

I built a home in the southern Luson provence. Talk about crazy trails 

This truck has been a money pit anyway

It's still got a ways to go ....


If anyone is interested I could post a few pic's of the house./

[79coyotefrg]

sure, post away man

[ezthere]

The first is the front of the house...The second is the back...Total cost about $45K ...Did I mention only Philippino's can own property...

[79coyotefrg]

looks like my exwifes moms house in longbeach

This is a pic of me and my sister in-law...The fun part about PI is just about anything goes.As long as you keep it cool....Screw up or run some one over drunk....Problems...

There is a 4x4 club there..Toyota land cruisers. Some really nice ones..The highways are almost to state side standards...The driving is NUTS....

My place is 15 miles north of this volcano.

Can you imagine 4wheeling this monster....    

There are trails that lead a 1/2 a mile up...Total elevation 8K feet....At night you can see faint fires on the hills leading up....
