Since fitting a rear Auto locker in my 1994 75 series Troopy I had problems with the studs sheering, after the 1st time in Mt Isa I added some spot welds around the flange, that proved successful for 2 years until I decided to do the bearings, after that I also replaced the hub, but did not do the spot welds again, (Gunnado) and it has sheered twice since, so looks like adding the welds again, I had a Rocky with an auto in the rear and never had problems, so for any of you with other makes or later model troopies you shouldn't have any problems, I was toying with the idea of removing the locker but that would cost money so the cheaper option will be the welds, the first time I had replies on here about how dangerious it would be, to my thinking that's BS because the vehicle had been to the SD twice, towed the van to Perth, done many 1000's Ks working as a Pilot, then towed the van back across Australia to NSW and then NQ, then to the Top End NT, and never gave a problem....until the weld was removed.
