Differences between the "B" and "C" packs/options?

[kup99]

What were the major differences between the "B" package and the "C" package? I'm not sure where to look for this info, so I thought I'd ask here? I remember there being a difference with the airbags, but what I am really curious about is if the "B" package came with the locker?

Also, I'm in Canada, if that matters. I know that sometimes there are some differences in the packages between the Can/U.S. models!

Thanks again, and Merry Christmas!!

I got the CQ package and just added the locker as a stand-alone option, then installed the ATRAC switch, best way to go IMHO.

Although, not sure this can be done any longer or in Canada since I bought mine in April of '06...

Thanks again guys!!

I should have specified that I was looking at an 07, but I would guess that they are the same!!

anyway the one I was looking at didn't have the locker, so... back to the drawing board!!

All the best!

Darren,
From a Canadian perspective:
C package (being the most $$$) basically has:
Dash gauge cluster
Window curtain air bags
Inverter
Ghetto blaster woofer in the rear - better stereo

All in all - extra $$$ that could be better spent on mods!
I bought the "B" because I wanted the locking diff...

 

[kup99]

so do all Canadian B packs come with the locking diff?

Yes they do

Thanks again,... .. .. I am very close to pulling the trigger on a 2007 "C" package!

 

[Brazenhead]

Do it!
