Locker.

 

what? You can almost get two for $500.

 

X2 so maybe $600ish for two after shipping

 

you guys are forgetting installation cost and regear added on top of that

 

Put it in the bank and fix the first thing that breaks.

 

Who said anything about re-gearing? He can install them himself for free.

 

yes but a lunchbox is designed for certain gears correct?
and if he ever plans on regearing wouldnt you then have to buy completely new lockers?

 

Lunchbox works for all gears. It's the selectable lockers that are gear specific.

 

Winch. You still get stuck with lockers. Recovery should ALWAYS be the #1 priority.

 

Only if it's a selectable. lunchbox lockers aren't dependent on gear ratio.

 

the one I was considering appears to be..
automatic locking detroit front dana 30 for use with 3.73 carrier and up
my gears are 3.55 so I'd have to regear. sorry everyone

 

That's not a lunchbox locker. Lunchbox lockers go in an existing carrier (the idea of a reusable "box" - the carrier - being able to hold different "lunches" - lockers - that drop right in). Both of the detroit auto lockers act as the carrier, thus regulating what gearing can be used. Just because it's an auto locker doesn't mean it's a lunchbox locker.

 

Go wheeling and what you find that you wish you had on the trail, buy.
