With the window and radio off I can hear the faint clicking of the locker around tight turns. Obviously the locker is louder the faster and tighter the turn but even with the windows up it's barely noticeable. It doesn't drive much different at all but feels amazing knowing the traction I have. So much room.... ....for traction!!!
it's looking like that for me. Have a front locker sitting here waiting to be put in for a while. Haven't gotten around to it yet...

Fronts always take longer too. I love having it in the rear though, perfect for my setup with the np242.

Then you'll be unstoppable! Next upgrade will be 2x6 sliders, but not sure on when that'll happen. Trying to get this Jeep and my schedule to align to go to Rausch at the end of the month.

I can never get anyone to wheel with me. I'd go every weekend if I could.

I'm looking to wheel a lot more this spring and summer now that it's where I want it for the most part. Just have to get a better work schedule since no one wheels on Monday's.

Thanks buddy. Maybe one day you'll come up north for Ocean City, MD Jeep Week. I know a lot of people travel from far away to come there and it's just a 45 min drive from my place.

I changed the F150's oil the same day as the locker and boy, do I take the clearance for granted when doing basic maintenance.

Installed my CB antenna and got it all up and running today for this weekend's trip. Bought the mount from thatXJguy, it's amazing quality by the way but not a fan of the little wiggle room my tail light housing gives it before the spring. Using a 4' Firefly Firestik with a Firestik HD spring and powered by a Uniden Pro510xl. Now I just need to think of a handle.
