Are there beginner trails out there? The only time I have been off-road I was just beating the **** out of trucks. I would like to learn better technique so I don't destroy what I've worked so hard on.

Yes, you'll be fine.

Spartan is your best option out of those, but Aussie and Lokka are the same thing; made in different places.

This. Spartans are a good locker. I think mine only makes noise due to me not checking gaps during install. I just slapped it in there and drove off...

I like the path I took for a lunch box.

Got a Lock Right used - $100
Spring replacement kit - $15

LR, Aussie, Spartan, their really all the same.
You'll break your carrier before you break any of them.

As far as noise goes run, 85W-140

I run 90?-140? Its the spacing causing the issue. I measured the rear and it doesn't make a peep

Went trail riding with my buddy. His jeep eventually overheated so we had to use swamp water to refill the coolant that boiled out.
