Just watch it under hard acceleration, say powering on to the highway, when you let off the gas it can unload and give the back end a real kick.

I've been wheeling these lockers for 7 or 8 years and they are great for the average wheeler especially considering the price point. The only issue I've seen to date is the pin holes wallow themselves and slowly get bigger. What ends up happening is either the pins break OR under a heavy foot the locker explodes, I've seen both cases out of a dozen or so rigs using them. That being said I'll continue to use them.
Cheers.

It's nice when you do a mod that makes it work better on and off road Welded spiders always remind me of a tooth filling |

It will serve you well Nick....
