    If he doesn't want to drop the dime like on a ARB locker wouldn't something like a Trutrac work just as fine for the rear?

    I've been running the trutrac for a good 6months now, only time it feels any different is when i gas it on tight turn. The inner wheel chirps but that it.

    Let's meet at the Rowher staging area #3, the far one by the entrance to the 4x4 trail...10am Sunday?

    I might be camping out there Sat night to test out the new RTT, if not though I can meet you at the entrance off of Sierra Hwy

    I had one in my '99 Prerunner several years ago, worked great offroad but sucked ass on the street...especially if it was raining heavily. Any tire slippage going around a turn and you're in for a wild ride, lol.

    Also the loud CLACK CLACK CLACK sound they make when turning gets funny looks from passengers and people outside. I was too poor at 19 years old to afford an ARB so I put one of those in thinking it would help, just made me want a 4x4 even more. It did work well for what it was, though.

    If they were, it was so bad that it didn't even seem like it. :notsure:

    In any case that run shows to get ready for a long day if people are doing difficult Rock crawling trails without 2 lockers.

    I'm still trying to coax one of you to go to Stoddard wells with me. April 18 is a day off for me, so if you can weasel out of work we can spend the day up there until someone breaks something.

    Hehehehehe
    Nope, a lot of people think it's all atv and prerunner go fast stuff. Theres a bunch of steep rock gardens that go up and down the canyons around the mountain. Achy Breaky trail is one of the routes around it that goes through 3 of the rock gardens. But there's like 3 more that you can add to make the trail longer

    Yep, I'd have to sit out Odessa, I don't trust my truck not to slide off the ledge with the rear axle wider now.
