Matt,
Lets not forget the modified 12-bolt rear.
I know this is probably the last locker to be developed, but it would help those 98 and on Troopers.
Thanks,
Jaime

i certianly agree, but....that is a 3rd locker, and there will have to be enough guys to get that item made as well.
a viable option would be a rear axle swap from a 95-97 into a 98+ to use the "lockable & Gearable" 3rd member.
at this time......i'm pretty sure there are just not enough 98+ troopers and VX's that want a lockright to even table the idea w/ the Mfg.
thoughts?

I havenÆt been following this thread very closely, butà Glad to hear it Frisky - no harm no foul... And great enthusiasm, by the way... Me n Smiley will head up the, "No money, but we'll figure it out somehow if we have to sell blood or sperm," group, you take the, "What should I spend all this extra money on?" group. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/wink.gif" alt="" /> (By the way, the former will certainly take donations from the latter...) -Chris You mean I can actually sell it??? <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/lol.gif" alt="" /> OK, all kidding asideà I looked, but I didnÆt see an answer to this question: For the 12-bolt, which is it likely to be - A straightforward Lock Right or the more street-friendly PowerTrax design?

well....thus far the discussion has been focussed on the LockRight. "powertrax" is the company, Lockright is the locker that clicks, a No-Slip (i'm guessing that is what you are asking me) is the "clicks more quietly so you can't really hear it" version of the LockRight and is a priced about $150 more. i have focussed on the Lockright as that is what was previously produced for the Isuzu line by Powertrax...and quite frankly is cheaper.

I AM THERE, I would totaly buy one... If not two <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" /> I was talking to the guys over at Offroadlockers.com and they are gong to be looking into the R&D of a locker for the 10 bolt and 12 bolt Isuzu diffs. Just another possible avenue of traction gain. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif" alt="" />
