Just to add to that a bit, do you need to replace the ADD set up with manual hubs when fitting an auto locker? Just what i heard so cheaper to check it out first

cheers also

you wont need to replace the ADD setup but if you fit manual hubs it would be easier. Currently I run around with the ADD setup and fixed hubs with a lockrite in. All you experience is a slight pull to the right as the right front drive shaft is still connected and carries the load of the whole diff and popshaft. The locker causes the diffhead to turn now as opposed to the open diff only the spiders turned. For long trips I just replace my right drive flange with one that does not have a spline.

I've got one complete manual hub so i guess i could fit it on one side. Be a bit odd but cant see both sides off it anyway. If that would work as we do alot of on road driving.

You had any (major) problems or negitives with the lockrite?

cheers
