I had a No-Slip Richmond in the 8.8 in my last XJ thats seen 35 Boggers, 36 TSL's and 38 SX's and its been going strong for about 6 years now but the Power Trax in the front.....GRENADED VIOLENTLY after about 3 years. Again I think we can all agree the skinny pedal on the right has alot to do with life expectancy of any part.

I'm getting quite tired of the extra-wide turns and scrubbing tires when on pavement too. I'd like to get an air locker, but maby this is the way to go. Any issues with it doing unexpected things in the snow?

I got mine from Blake, he removed it because his wife didn't like how it acted going on and off snow. Joan and I never had an issue with it after we got used to driving it, easy into the gas coming out of turns - just easy on the gas everywhere on road and it has great manners, a heavy foot and it will remind you its there, sometimes quite violently.

For a cheap and dirty locker, I love mine! Works great and is passable in the road. Ran with welded before and never would go back.....
