IFS Surf and diff locker

Hi, If I have a IFS surf and was looking at putting a locker (say an automatic one) in, and later wanted to do a beam axle conversion, is the locker going to transfer over? or will that be my pocket getting thrashed twice over?

cheers.

:shock:

You obviously mean a locker in the front, The IFS and Solid Axle versions are different

Mig the IFS for now and when it blows do the axle conversion :shock:

As Mike said, don't pay twice... just weld it up (fit manual locking hubs first if you haven't got them already - you don't want the hubs engaging accidentally with a locked diff) and then fit the locker when you go to a solid axle.

cheers for replying, yes i mean locker in front, to answer the origional question will it convert over? got manual hubs after a fuk around from the num skull salesman at fully equipped not selling me a full kit when asked to supply everything to convert from auto to manual. I won't be shopping there again.

As Mike said, no it won't convert over. The IFS locker and the beam axle locker are different sizes (7.5" vs. 8" in a solid axle).

Hope that clears that one up for you... this is why we were saying to bodge it until you do the conversion. Unless you have $1300ish spare, in which case buy one of each... they are around $650 each.
