there was some good debate yesterday about locking the rear of your dd and which route to go as far as lunchbox or selectable. and there was a post saying they had installed 3 power trax on xj's. the guy said that they work well. i know that aussie makes a lunchbox for like 300. they are a good option as well.

no-slip is great IMO, no clunking or anything makes it good for a street driver, its what Im using and its basically invisible on the street. Ive skipped tires across the road a handful of time from pulling out into traffic quickly (giving it a bit of gas and turning tight), but other than the times where youre juicing it and turning tight it basically doesnt exist

Great. Did you install it yourself?

yes, its very easy. Only thing, make sure you install the c-clip on the side of the locker without the slot BEFORE you install the other side of the locker, or you will be taking it apart again in 5 mins and being very unhappy with yourself for not noticing there is no slot in the other locker half.

ask me how I know

The newer versions have a slot in both of the active spacers, they are interchangeable.

The locker installation is pretty straight forward, but I do have 1 suggestion for anyone installing one. I'm sure we've all read horror stories about folks not being able to remove the passenger side C-Clip, here's the fix.

Deburr the C-clip that is to be used on the passenger side before installing the locker. Check the fit through the slot and if there is ANY interference file the outer edge at the top and bottom of the "C" until there is none at all.

Doing so will make disassembly a lot easier, the c-clip will simply fall out the way it's supposed to.
