So here is a video that i put together of some clips from an ORV park trip. Figured it was a good comparison for those considering putting a locker in their rig.

Im not sure what you mean referring to another convo with Holycaveman.

I figured since there really wasn't a lot of good comparison videos this could help alot of people.

Thanks for posting. I just recently put a front locker in mine and could really tell a big difference between being open front and rear. This video shows how much easier it makes things with less spinning, less speed and less chance of breaking things.

I recently installed my lockers front and rear and found out that I can go about as far now in 2wd as I did before in 4wd before.

I agree 100%. I used to have a heavy right foot but with the gears and Locker I don't need the speed as often so My rig should last longer now.

I noticed the rear locker when I first done it. With the front locker it was night and day on the rocks. I think my rig is just as capable now with the LS in rear than the welded rear I had. This may because of the 4.56s but I don't feel as if I lost any ability.

Hope you don't mind if I throw one up as well.

I can't believe someone who went with a 6.5 inch longarm lift skipped out on at least a cheap locker in one of the axles. It would transform that rig into a superhero.

ive always went detriot in the rear & arb front, i can do 90 % of my wheeling w/ the front open. only lock the front when really needed. plus having a locked front only makes steering difficult & easier to break front end drive train parts.its amazing where you can go w/ locked rear & open front.

He hasn't had it that long. He bought long arm and tires. Lockers and winch are his short list. My short arm flexs the same on rti as his right now. RC shocks are to short to let it droop.

You can only do so much to a rig at once. Building a capable rig takes time and money. Maybe he was lacking both.

BatmanXJ

He lacks both. Sad part about his he has almost in his as I do mine. He over paid when he bought it. His looks better but looks are not important in our club we beat them down. 3 link is the next big project for mine.

I meant no offense, I just wonder why people build in the order than they do when I see things like that. It will definately be an awesome machine when he gets it the way he wants it.

Bottom line, though... LOCKERS RULE!

Yeh if his plan works. He has some Toyota axels with true tracs and 5.71s that he is trying to re tube to eventually put under his. My long term is Tons
