Yes, I did think about getting them. My son just got through installing a set in his 4Runner. It has a custom Dana 60 in it and he wheels the really hard stuff and has broken the 4340 chrome-molly shafts a few times, so he bought the RCV shafts, and is really impressed with them.

Pickles, I run the lucas 80W/140 in mine because I tow with it, but I'm in the deep south and it doesn't get that cold here. Let us know as soon as you get it installed. I'm debating between the lockright and the nospin (slip, no-slip). But as always, money is an issue. Do you tow anything?

Got the locker installed tonight. So far im pretty impressed! It seems to behave pretty well on the street, feels like a whole new vehicle. Locks up solid when you hit the gas, and fairly quiet when it unlocks while cornering. Money well spent

12:12 am?? You worked late Let me know how it does when you have to climb a hill on the highway while turning. That's my main concern. Did you buy the No-slip or the lock-right?

PS. The Detroit is the locker I'm going to run on my 8.25, but I bought 29 spline 1541H shafts for my 27 spline 8.25, so when I'm running 35s I won't be breaking shafts.

I think he means the years that came with a limited slip or locker..? I think...?? and if I go mudding some, have 30's (maybe 31's later) and tow during the summer for my lawncare business would a lunch box be okay?? Oh yeah and its my DD and I drive around 50-60 miles a day 5-6 days a week if thats a concern as well..

I know, I have one in my 29 spline as well. You know when it locks, but it doesn't make any pops or bangs. Just make sure when you buy a used one, that the paddles are in good shape, or you spend $50 on an active spacer like me.
