any experience with this locker?

I have found a brand new Lock Right Locker that will supposedly slide straight into my diff.. Just wondering if anyone has had any experience/thoughts about it before I buy it. It seems like a steal at the price $150.

It's a good locker and I have basically the same thing. Like i said in my other thread to you, i wouldn't exactly recomend it for you.

LockRights are an inexpensive "locker". They are good for light use and some hard trail wheelin' but they aren't as tough as the full size lockers..

btw shop around, $365 for that is a rip off.

Like what was said before a non selectable locker in snow and ice is a bad idea. Watch this video of a lightning with a locker and how fast he lost control when his water hose came off.

Its one thing to be crawling through the snow with a locker, and it's another to be driving on the highway and come across snow or ice.

I ran a Lock Right for a few years in the snow and it got old pretty fast. If the roads were slick, it was way more of a white-knuckle drive then it should've been.

So what about a limited slip (used) from a TRD tacoma? I think that it has about 110,000 miles on it, but my truck has almost 160,000 so it would definitely seem like an upgrade.

I am always hunting on Craigslist because people are always modding their trucks in the mountains. SO...

Rear Differential / 3rd member with TRD Limited Slip 4.10 Gears Great shape 110,000 miles $275.00

Good deal or bad deal?

It's hard to say if that's good deal or not because the TRD LSD uses clutch packs and they may be pretty worn down and 110,000 miles. $275 seems just a tad high to me.
