    Ha! That's a typo. I missed it. It's not pathetic at all! I'm going to fix it right now. Auto correct... :D

    It's my work truck. I don't really "wheel" I can get into some situations while working, shooting, camping, etc. though.

    Keep us posted on how it works on a daily basis, if you could. Been looking into this but never pulled the trigger. I have several ultra crates, so I should be fine. :rolleyes:

    Eager to hear continued reviews, you know, after you've gotten into more situations with it. I heard these lockers are downright laughable in parking lots, with a series of clanks then a BANG - but that's what the no-slip is intended to address.

    That's one hell of a typo!
    That's about where I am. No hardcore offroading, but I do get off the street from time to time. Your review may convince me to get one of these or stick with the TrueTrac.

    I LIKE it! :) My kind of tool.

    And congrats on the no-slip. The scruffing on the right hand turn out of your driveway is a fact of life with any auto locker.
    I assume you have an auto tranny? auto trannies and auto lockers work in harmony with each other.....the same is not very true
    for manuals.

    PS---Don't have enough experience myself with the "No-Slip" to comment one way or the other on it for now.
    I give a big thumbs up on Spartan auto lockers. Very impressed with their ease of installation and their beefiness.
    The Aussie is also very good...no quite as beefy but excellent machine quality and they hold up just fine.
    LR is at the bottom of my list.

    If auto lockers spool up when under power and turning couldn't you essentially feather the clutch in and out coming out of a drive or parking? Or does that not effectively unload it? I'm saving up for a Powertrax right now...may get the lock-right model over the no-slip though.

    you would have to coast through turns for it to not lock.

    How is this thing doing for you Mr OP? This is a big one on my list for the truck. If I can get away with just installing one of these, I think I can make do with out a re gear.
