That snake is commuoflaging

 

I should be getting my compressor in a few weeks here. Then sometime this year gears and a locker. Or both idk yet But seems like most people don't use their front so I'm probably going to pass on that and save some money

 

There's a group buy on them now 750$

 

That's where i got my compressor from Was thinking about getting one from there or just get the whole third from ECGS. To many things to think about someone spend money for me

 

It all depends on the trails you do. I've got the factory e-locker and use it when trail gets dangerous or technical. ATRAC works on the front and rear axles, but not on the rear when locked. I love this combination. Works really well.

If I had your truck on the trails I'm doing I'd get both, lock front and back.

 

I've seen your pictures of the places you go and they are awesome! And some of them is what I do with mine but also some of it are just easier trails. I wish I had ATRAC

 

It was cheaper for me to not get a new third . I will be at about 1k when said and done

 

Thanks so much!

I know at certain times Atrac gets a lot of hate in this forum, but honestly, it's incredibly awesome. It activates in a split second when necessary, and disengages when not needed. It's elegant in its operation, and none of the steering binding issues with a front locker.

I think it's good up to moderate difficulty, beyond that front locker.

It's a tough call. I'd still say if atrac not an option, I'd go for the locker... But the $$$ lol

 

X2 I love ATrac, just enough when you need it and goes away when you don't.

 

Appreciate your knowledgeable response.

I find the snakes too and leave them the F alone.

I've taught my kids to watch for them and what to do regarding them.

Here is a report of a kid bitten by Mojave Green few years back:

REI, I've got six bucks, so maybe a matter bottle. Don't really shop there too much anymore since we're fully outfitted.

 

ABS kill switch is your friend. 15 minute mod and few dollars in wiring and connectors.

 

Attract is not an option I don't think!? 2007 sport. Didn't they only come in the offroads?? So with that it's front locker or leave it open... You guys are making it a hard choice here. Got lots of people saying don't do it and a few saying I should...

 

No not an option, off-road 4x4 trucks starting in 2009. You'd have to trade up.

Yeah not an easy decision all depends on the trails you wanted to do, you could skip front locker and always add it later.

 

I don't care how educated you are. Sharing a foxhole with a rattlesnake only ends one way. Sure, you can politely move them, but you know how territorial those bastards in the Mojave are. The chick that stepped on the snake stepped outside the tent to take a call, that was a dumb move, but if someone would have skinned the damn thing the day before it wouldn't have happened. Rattlesnake Dave is legit, you can look him up. My dad is friends with him.

 

Lol, on the sticker

 

Snakes are just faces with tails

 

Trading up to a newer one is not an option either unfortunately.. As you say can always add it later if I absolutely need it! Thanks for all the help guys!!

 

I guess if it works why knock it
