Howdy out there again Planeteers! I need a little input regarding a new locker for my 96 Rodeo 3.2L SOHC 4X Auto Trans, 3-1/2" susp. lift, One-Pc. Driveline, 265/75/16 (32"-33"s after re-gear), B-Stone Dueller MTs and Dana 44 r.end, (soon to be re-gearing), along with many other mods- irrelevant to this subject... I've decided to invest in a locker for my little wheeler. I've done quite a bit of research trying to determine what type of locker is right for the type of driving/wheeling I do, as well as the pros and cons attached to pretty much every locker out there. I won't bore you with the details but suffice it to say, due to a miriad of factors, I'm pretty much leaning toward the Powertrax-"No-Slip" locker. It seems to have the performance benefits I'm looking for , as well as fairly decent road manners. The PwrTrx "Lockright", as well as the Detroit Gearless, don't truly have, what I consider to be, true locker characteristics-- even though the price is hard to beat, and they are, as far as I can tell, are a step-up from limited-slip. (OOps, I just realized I AM boring you) with the details (opinions) describing why I did'nt choose the lockers I was referring to! Sorry :lol: . If you can spare the time to hear me out, I really will appreciate it!! The ARB Locker/Compresser, seems to me to be hands, down, the best of both worlds (I.E. Fully adjustable, if not for the possibility (however remote) of air-line (seal) damage & PRICE$$$!!, it seems to me, the ARB would be a no-brainer.) However, Bill Gates I aint. Nuff said-- The old trusty Detroit Locker, is obviously, another good choice, but I'm personally looking for something a little more civilized. Which brings me back to the "No-Slip." The only unknown factor for me is I, personally, have never driven a vehicle sporting one one, nor do I know anyone around here who has. I've driven trucks with ARBs, Detroits as well as OXs (my personal favorite, but again P-R-I-C-E-Y !!!)- and I don't know if they even make them for Zu's(once again I digress) SO- are there any ZuZu-ers out there who might possibly be running "No-Slips", and if so, how do you like-em'? Are you stoked with them? Drawbacks? Things you like/Don't like? I would really appreciate any and all input on this matter, as I'm gonna be installing a locker of some kind or other, in the very near future, and could really use some opinions (preferrably not along the lines of: "Dude-They're totally bitchin, or they totally suck! etc.) I am truly interested in your insight and/or experiences regarding this (or another comparable unit) Sorry about the length of this Post :wink: I just wanted to make sure I did'nt forget anything! Anyhow, big Aloha's from Hawaii-- 8)
