    I've been thinking about doing the same... but from what I've been gathering it seems like a waste of time and effort... Would anyone agree? Should I just get a prerunner or 4x4 or would this be a better alternative?

    Would you happen to have a link for after market lockers? I have a '12 5 lugger and would like to add a locker to the auto LSD.
