    If you have the extra money, do it. You will never regret having the front locker, but you might eventually regret not having it.

    Breaking a CV axle is not the worst thing in the world should it happen, but you will have to beat it pretty hard to break one. Carry a spare and it’s no issue.

    Yea we gave you hell, because that’s just what you do. An extra $1k is a lot on top of the cost to regear.

    lol I know, and it's why I've continued to do the same things the guys with lockers have, to continue proving the point lol.

    the time has not come when they've proven to be able to go somewhere I couldn't lol. those videos Brian showed of me would also have been different if I had different tires I fully believe. mine just aren't what I wanted.

    Yup Good to see that you can do it its just a little harder. Im not planning on running a tire bigger than what i got so im not going to be wanting to floor it to get over stuff. Id love to just call it a day with the regear but i know i might regret it.
    I know man. I i got quoted $1,565 for everything. Thats a lot of $$$

    Hows your setup been with 33's front and rear locked? I watched you climb that hill at chocc. Looked pretty solid

    so at work they have now removed chairs from the cafeteria to only 1 chair per table, and put signs on all the tables to tell you 1 person per table or possible punishment whatever the fuck that means.

    but like...you think separating us in the caf will fix it all? if that's the fix SEND OUR ASSES HOME

    I feel like a billy goat in the truck. It gives me a lot of piece of mind to know that I have 2 easy buttons available in the truck. Almost the only thing that gets me now is clearance. Last weekend, the ruts were to deep and I was high centering on my diff and skids. After seeing Scotty at Hawk's Pride, I knew I made the right decision getting both lockers.

    This is the one thing I tried that I couldn't make and it wasn't from clearance. I also stress tested @Jerneyman welds.

    The video from the time I pulled up to the time I backed down was 17 minutes. That was the best 3 or 4 attempts. It was the absolute hardest I have ever driven the truck trying to make an obstacle.
