I've had my lock rite in the rear for 8 years, it's been beat HARD and is still working fine. I have had a couple of pins break through the years, but when you snap rear shafts on a regular basis, I just check the locker's parts when I'm cleaning all of the axle peices out of the diff

Alot of our club members are welded and the only complaints I have heard is from the ones that weld the front.

szabotage or whitfield,
The Jeep I drove handled fine at slow to moderate speeds but felt wierd at 50+MPH. When going through a curve at speed, it seemed to spastically push out during the turn. It would be turning fine and then half way through a curve it would push out (and quick ). Dose yours do that? If so is that the part you learn, like learning how to take slow tight turns with an auto-locker without getting the ol-backlash :-/ Then again, it could just be one of those jeep things that I would not understand

I'm running a Mini-Spool in the rear and haven't had any real problems.  And after a while, you get used to the chirping when driving around in the parking lots with your tires aired down.    I went the mini-spool route as I didn't want to bother with welding the diff.

Of course, I don't drive much on-road at all and the 410 maxes out around 50, so I may not be the best person to listen to.

Well guys went mudding this weekend.

All i have to say is that there was more mud and these trails were the same ones as last time when i did not have the locker. I was in 2wd most of the time besides when i went over rocks or larger trees.

Im very happy and impresed with this locker.

My buddies were with me in the Tj's lol they both got stuck and i had to pull them out lol.

  I love a good Jeep story

That is the part that you learn.  You become acustomed to shifting the weight of the vehicle to make it turn sharper.  My Sammy pushed in the front, but it never did this spastically,  It was just an even noticable push that was most prevalent on interstate on ramps and such.  It did this more with the BFG At's then with Swampers.  With the Swampers it wouldn't push as much, Less bite on the road.  It was very easy to predict and control, Very fun to drive.   I found that old sammy today in a neighborhood I was passing thru, Had to back up and do a double take...   It has been gone 4 years now.   Only difference is the 33" BFG at's are new and the Camo is freshend up.

Thanks, That is exactly what I was wondering about.
