Locker for weekend warrior.

I was thinking of switching to a locker instead of another limited slip.


Pros and cons of locker Vs Limited slip?

Just to clarify this is a weekend car.

thanks! mods in sig.

why not just go with a spool? it will be much more fun and there is no clicky click sound around corners.

If you think a spool isnt streetable think again its a hell of a lot of fun

I have a detiot locker in my 9" and it does get annoying to passengers but it does not bother me. I drive mine on a regular basis if it is running right. on a wet road making a sharp turn it will bounce all over the place.
spool woulkdnt be a bad idea i hear they arnt that bad.
but i like my detiot locker also.

well i think they only make a mini spool for ten bolts

mini spool = 90 bucks or so
open 30 spline 3 series carrier = free if you know someone that has one lying around

then the fun part labor $$$

I have a buddy that works for 4 wheeler supply on washington and like 40th street he my be able to hook you up (if you talk dirty to him )
