Mad Dog,

I followed this post up with post: 15029

I have read about the pros and cons of auto lockers but for the price I just had to at least look.

I wanted a front one but it looks as though there is not one to be had.

I already have the ARB toolbox compressor. The one with the pressure switch so I am part way there already. Although I like being able to take it with me in the work F-250s when I take them out.

I am going to price rear lockers of both types now. Would have preferred a front one but I guess that is not going to happen.

Do you have lockers? They are not on your list of goodies.

BTW were you in Brisbane on Friday? I saw a Rodeo the same as yours, right down to the maroon (??Red??) canopy near Roma St in the city.

I'm going through a process now deciding if I should update the vehicle or throw some goodies at the present one hence I have been doing some research on lockers, suspension etc. If I decide to upgrade the present ute I'll be putting an air locker on the back and maybe lockrite on the front, that is if the lock rite is available but I probably can't update and have all the goodies at the same time.

When it comes to putting one locker on there doesn't seem to be a right or wrong regarding what end. Some say back others front. The only sure way to to lock both ends :)

No, wasn't me. Haven't been to Brisbane this Century.

I wanted to do the front as I have had a play and found that the front has less travel than the rear (with IFS no great surprises here).

The also has the stock LSD which still appears to work to some degree at least after 140k.

I also read on the net somewhere that the front is better due to something like so long as the front are continuing to do some work going up a hill (i.e. not spinning) then the rears are not required to do as much work and therefore they are less likely to spin. This would mean an easier and hopefully more successful ascent.

I just looked up the Opposite Lock site and yes they do sell Detroit gear. But Rodeo is not on their site but I will ring them tomorrow.

Thanks heaps pjd. Have bought from them before but forgot to check with them about the lockers.
