Hey guys, I’ve been searching and reading through related threads but haven’t found someone with the same question.
I have a 96‘ 80 series that was sold in Honduras CA. I live in Honduras which makes parts and capable mechanics a challenge. My 80 doesn’t have lockers, but a stock CDL switch and stock part time 4wd. (Yes it is stock not converted, central and South America received the 80s with PT). Air lockers are not in my budget and even if they were, installation would be an issue. I have purchased the Aussie Locker for the rear, and have been looking at the pros and cons of a front.
It seems like most say no due to AWD, but since mine is part time already I’d be interested in your thoughts. I drive 75% off road, in gravel corrugated roads and deep clay mud on steep mountain roads. Snow is obviously not an issue since it never goes below 50. I run 33” BFG kO2s with a 2.5” dobinson lift. Other than that it is stock. 1fZ, stock dual gas tanks and rear tire carrier. It’s an amazing truck, but when it rains in the mountains nobody gets through, I’d like to change that if possible. Thoughts?
