    You're just lucky that Ol' Red isn't able to show you all how to do it with stock tires, no skids, and 165,000 mile stock suspension.

    Why because you don't know how to use your brakes?

    FWIW, I'm with Jonathan. A lockright would be perfect in your truck. I had the same debate in my head for years with my FZJ80 when it had open diffs. Then I finally said screw it and put an Aussie locker in it. I've never had any weird behavior from it and forget its even there until I get it in the rocks and it just walks up, and then I think, "oh yeah, I has a locker that kicks ass and I didn't even have to turn it on."

    :laugh:

    well im used to just letting the motor take it all with a manual. I found putting the ECT on helped a ton though.

    haha and yea..i guess now that its not a DD now it makes more sense to just go for it..

    im not familar with any of them other then lockrite. Ill have to look at aussie..

    The Aussie is essentially the same as a lockrite but the behavior is more transparent.

    Aussie Locker doesn't put a tire-size limit on their product. Aussie has killer customer service, if it breaks they will replace it.

    HF has a lot of junk, but also a bunch of quality things. Their stuff labled "Pro" is actually made by top brand names.
    I have the "composite" ratchets that HF sells, they have been great to me.. I have hit my 1/2" with a 5lb hammer who knows how many times...no failure. Just last week I had to give my Snap-on extended 1/2" to the dealer for rebuild.

    I have had this press for a while now, in fact, a couple of days ago I hammered on it repeatedly with a 1/2" IR Titanium impact while removing control arm bushings.
