Rear locker had made wheeling more fun for me. DD'ing might be a little annoying, but I think Christian doesn't mind it.

Winner. I went with the powertrax no slip. Although it's a little more pricey, it incorporates more springs so it keeps the ratchet down. Every so often though it'll build up tension and release.... Son ***** sounds like a .38 when it unlocks. Additionally, I don't know if every locker is like this, but the powertrax stays locked all the time. It unlocks around turns and what now so that's a plus. And besides, who doesn't like to get a little sideways in the rain every now and then?

I was warned about it ratcheting when under load and damn! I thought I was shot the first time I heard it. Other than that happening every so often, thing is quit as a mouse.

I will be getting rehired by my old job this summer so that means big paychecks again. First paycheck I'm getting my Mossberg. Second paycheck and the subsequent ones will begin the 4wd swap. That is my only goal this summer. Will, I'm sure you'll be getting some texts this summer when I'm scratching my head lol.

Well... just worked out 90% of the logistics for the next big update. Pics of everything to come this weekend even though it won't happen... just the purchasing. But nonetheless... big things and another item off the check list.
