Out of stock, and for 29 spline. If you have a 27 spline it is there also just pick the right axle:

If you weld it its basically like a lunchbox locker. It will stay permanately locked afterwards. Good for wheeling, but some people dont like the road manners. No different from a lunchbox though. Personally I like a selectable but thats just me.

Get a lockrite. I've had em in both my axles for a while and I hardly notice em when driving around normally. You can usually get em for around 300-400. Definitely worth the money as soon as u get off road.

FALSE.... Welded and a lunch box are completely different. i wave had a welded and i now have lunch box front and rear. they are not locked "all the time". you can drive it like normal around turns but if you hit the gas a little harder it will lock it. if it wasn't a daily driver i would just weld it. but if you spend alot of time on and off road get a locker. spartan or powertrax makes them im sure.

Don't think there is a lock-rite for 29 spline. Check ebay for an aussie. that's where I got mine a while back when the site was out of stock.
