LockRite vs. Powertrax vs. ARB

[HZJ60 Guy]

That Spectre deal is a good one. I think you get a full floating rear with the deal.

Uhhh, guys, the axles at SOR are sold... And there are no more to be had. Also note the front axle knuckle housing parts are missing.

I was able to pick up a used Lockrite for cheap so that made my decision easy. I'm thinking I'll just swap the spider gears in when the snow comes since I don't wheel in winter.

My truck is more then "trail only" but far from a DD. Mostly weekend, around town stuff and offroad trips.

Hey Dave, when you get the Budbuilt TR's, let me know how are they. I am in the market for those too.

you bet. I had Bud's crossmember and tcase skid on my 85 4R and it was a VERY stout piece.

PowerTrax in FJ62

I'm also running a PowerTrax in an FJ62.

I like it a lot. It locks up only when under power, so I've had to learn to not power through tight mountain turns. My girlfriend appreciate this side affect!

I've wanted an ARB for, ah, 7 years, but could never justfy the cost (and my winching skill is now stellar!). I got the PowerTrax only because it was cheaper than replacing the spider gears in the diff (dmaged as result of Honda Civic totalling itself by slamming 90* into rear wheel @ 25 mph - thrust washer came off and went through gears...)

Bottom line:
PowerTrax = less than $400
Install time = 2 hours

All the guys and gals at the local 4x shop are trading in their limited slip and LockRite units for these now!

Yes, I would go ARB front / rear if I could, but I'm back in school for a few more years so PowerTrax it is
