Listener Feedback

I’m honestly a little disappointed in y’all’s locker knowledge. It is one of the most important things on a 4×4. A lunchbox locker is one that replaces spider gears only. Like packing a lunch box. And are considerably cheaper than a full carrier Detroit. Also you don’t have to hold the cable of an ox locker with vise grips. They come with a slug you can screw in where the cable goes to lock it. And if you were stuck out in the wilderness, why would you want your locker to fail open leaving you without it? At least you could get out.
