Default Lockers for a Daily Driver

98 cherokee sport 4.0 this is my daily driver when its not above 60 and sunny, then its the 2 wheeler... i was thinking about installing front and rear lockers... dana 30 in front and 8.25 in rear. I was looking at the Powertrax units. I do get quite a bit of snow here in the winter, and i tow a 5x10 trailer when ever needed , it also tows my snowmobile in the winter

?? is - does anyone have these installed in their jeeps, and if so how do you like/dislike them? How many daily driver miles do you have on your unit/s?

235/75R15
231 transfer
no ABS

any input would be much appreciated.
thanks
tim

I put a powertrax no-slip in my '98 with a C8.25 recently, so far so good. It's a little lock happy, but I've heard it will break in a bit with miles.

No complaints from me. Goes 70 miles per day on pavements then gives atvs a run for their money on the weekend. Locks when you're about 20-40% on the gas (depending on load, hill grade, etc.etc.) on pavement and locks the second you need it off road. Very quiet and very strong. Had one in my 350hp Silverado till I shattered it with wheel hop but it held on for 11 months under that beast and it still kinda worked after it broke.

I love my lockers. Front and rear. It's a DD unless it's below 90. I live in Florida and love my 2 wheels also Above 90 and the MC gets me sweaty and hot fast.
