I'm no 4x4 expert, but it stands to reason that if you have open
diff's, then you actually have 2wd. An ez locker or lock right unit
on each of your diff's would provide true 4wd. Not just a race mod -
in fact, these units are most popular with the 4x4 crowd. You should
see the guy I've been talking to, Trent's truck. About 8 ft. tall and
enough steel and aluminum welded on to build a battleship. It's a
chevy, but it's still pretty cool....for a chevy.

Hey Tate!
Give me the low down on the EZ Lockers/Lock Right improvements...
Is
this strictly a race mod or can I use it to get better 4X4
performance? I am pleased with my Daks off road prowess but I
have
open diff's... I'll be heading up to Vermont in November for
hunting
season and I can't afford a heavy duty billet grill and Warn
winch so
I'd rather not get stuck!
What can I expect off-road wise for the short bones of the
lockers?
Thanks!
T.
<<Found a company, Truck Magic in Plano, Tx., that can get a lock
right=20 unit for the 97+ 8 =BC's for $299. Previous best was
an ez
locker for=20 $340. Once again, anyone else know of a better
price???
I'm ready to buy NOW. Unfortunately, most of the douchebags I
called=20
gave me the "they don't make 'em for your rearend" automated
reply.=20
Nowadays, I don't put forth the effort to explain that it's a
brand=20
new part number. If they can't put their doughnuts and coffee
down=20
long enough to call the manufacturer and see that yes, they do
have
a=20
part for my truck, then why in the hell would I want to give them
my=20
cash???? Screw 'em - no kisses or flowers either........just
screw=20
'em. Had to get that off of my chest.......
