So I go trail riding a lot, and most of the time I'm doing really well, through some stuff I didn't think my dinky 2wd would make it through. But I've decided to go with getting a locker. Any suggestions? I'm looking to give my trail rig a little bit of an edge. Especially when I go to the lake with all the beach sand. My buddy had a locker in his truck and said it's a hell of a difference, but that was before he SAS'd it and transformed it into this beast......


Anyhow, he assures me a locker is the way to go. I have been wanting to get a locker for quite some time now, but now i finally have the cash.
So any help would be appreciated. I'm not looking to get a detroit or an air locker or anything expensive like that. Just something that will work and not burn a whole in my wallet. I've searched online but have yet to find anything.
My gear ratio is stock, 3.73. I need to regear it but will do that at a later time.

Yeah, I've looked at aussie lockers. Can't find anythin' for my truck. Is it necessary to have the specific?

No-slip for sure if you're going with a lunchbox locker. Aussie doesn't make a locker for your axle.

Eatons are pretty pricey as well. I looked into the powertrax no slip, pretty cheap but I'm not exactly sure if its the right one.

I too am in the market for a locker. For the longest time, Ive been considering getting a Detroit Locker. One of my civilian mechanic friends has been trying to sway me towards getting a selectable locker, like an E-locker or an ARB airlocker.
