EZ Locker, Lock-Right, Detroit, ARB.. they're all good, depending on your budget.

Do some searching on the Jeep section also - I'm sure there is lots of info.


Welcome NEWBIE :flipoff2: :D

I use lockrites, the price is right and I've never had any problems with them.:)

Just to clarify, Fatkid (as well as myself) run Toyota axles.
I run Lockrite's also & have had no problems with them.
I'm not familiar with what lockers the Dana guys run, but there are several Zuks' with Dana's under them. :)

Personally I prefer a real Detroit rear, ARB front. Clackers won't unlock on the rocks and aired down, they never unload enough. A real Detroit will, and with an ARB on front you can out maneuver anything! The front only needs to be locked under extreme conditions, most of the time I leave it open.

Most people don't want to fork out the $$$$ for the ARB.... If you ever run one, you'll never go back.....

My $.02

I had a clacker, therefore I love my Detroit!

When I first got my D44, I put a Detroit in it. Oh my God.... the thing wouldn't freakin turn! The wheels would turn thanks to the power steering, but in soft stuff I was driving straight all the time.

ARB all the way now.... I'm spoiled.

....but not as much as Oilboinger with his stupid Klune V (jealousy rears it ugly head:)
