Bob Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 Is it okay if you have a locker in the rear end and if you daily drive it? I have been thinking about putting one in and just want to make sure that it would be okay to daily drive it with it in. Thanks Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slick Posted December 14, 2005 Share Posted December 14, 2005 as long as you are not heavy on the tall skinny and you have an open diff and not LSD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bob Posted December 15, 2005 Author Share Posted December 15, 2005 Tall skinny refer to the gas pedel im gessing. What are the advantages of a locker over the LSD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jj big shoe Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 You're talking about a mechanical one, right? A few folks here have them and say once you get used to them and adjust your driving style a little, it's no problem. Just don't goose it around corners or you'll chirp the tires. You might also hear a loud "clunk" every now and then around corners as well, but that's just the teeth in the locker disengaging and it's normal. I know the search feature has a lot to be desired, but there's a lot of discussion about them if you can find the threads. I wish I could've given you some first-hand info, but I had to trade mine for a center link before I got the chance to install it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 15, 2005 Share Posted December 15, 2005 A locker has gears that engage, a LSD has clutch plates... That makes the locker more effective in more extreme circumstances. B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest chainsaw Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 question about the front differential what's in it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Precise1 Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 Gears... Sorry, couldn't help it. The front diff is an open diff, ie. Only one wheel turns... B Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 16, 2005 Share Posted December 16, 2005 My locked up rear drives like a spool. Parking lots suck, but other than that, i really don't mind driving with it at all. Took about a week to get used to, but it's fantastic. I wouldn't trade back to a regular LSD ever again. Its a cheap, easy thing to do and makes a WORLD of difference on the trail.

88pathoffroad Posted December 18, 2005 Share Posted December 18, 2005 ARB is the only company that makes a front diff locker. Look it up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
