Default Best DIY Rear Locker?

Been lurking here and finally picked up a 00' sport. What is the best DIY rear locker? I had ARB's in my other jeeps, (shop installed) but this will be my budget beater build for Hawaii island driving.

I'll have a IRO 4" on the way next week, 33x10.5 will be ordered monday as well.

Here goes Jeep #4 project! My first Cherokee!! Thanks all for the advise!

Aloha

Lunchbox is about the easiest and cheapest. I've had good luck with Aussies, not so much with Spartans and Lockrights.

Welcome to the forum. I'm a big fan of your avatar

Aussies do seem to be the "best"
I personally have had good luck with your spartan locker running 39.5 inch iroks

I like my Lincoln locker in the rear. And up front I have a Lock-Rite, which I'm very happy with. I've used Lock-Rites in a few of my 4x4s, and I've never had any problems from them.

Myself and a bunch of friends use Lokka which is the original makers of Aussie. They are cheap and work great
