I've called the mail-order places and no one has them in stock and they don't know when they're getting some in. Who's got some for sale?

ever think about using a mini spool instead, easier to install less to break and way cheaper

i have used lockrights in the past, yes they ratchet in the rear when you turn cause the tires are going diff speeds but in the front they might as well be a spool as the tires turn go the same speed and the damn thing never ratchets. i have never seen a front lockright ratchet and i have been around alot of them. plus when yah break your d44 shafts you risk breaking the lockright with them, the spool wont break

so a mini spool gets the same job done as a lockright? I never knew that

they will ratchet if you are in 2wd low with the hubs still locked........enabling much better turning than with a spool in the same situation, specially on slickrock..
