poor stu lol
wow, thanks fellas.
I only went to work for an hour!
So lock er in the rear and trutrac in the front then. I would like air lockers but for the extra money and the fact its more to go wrong i think youve all just confirmed what i already knew and that was the "fit and forget" option is probably my best.
Now all i need to do is find all the bits.
Johnlad - are you simex's 35's? and if so have you fitted the ashcroft half shafts?

let us know how the truetracs perform offroad as i have a 90 project on the go at the minute
nice one. And im assuming with the simex and the lockers your not just having a pootle down a resurfaced byway?Only reason im asking is im looking for the same - 35" tyres and lockers, and i dont want to be half way up a lane in north wales and lose a half shaft.
but with lockers - yu still got 3 more

uprated shafts are around £250 a pair, for that you can buy around 8 pairs of standard shafts and i dont think 1 pair of uprated shafts will outlast 8 of the others, but i may be wrong, also i would rather break a shaft than a diff because that torque has to go somewhere

Well the Detroit is strengthened because you get rid of all the centre bits in the diff, effectively a 4 pin. but I totally agree, whats next? propshafts? drive fanges? then gearbox internals? You have to stop somewhere!
Outside of comps, standard has to be the way forward.

Im going to be working in the states again next year, and ill be due for a new laptop. Ill wait until oregon to get it though. No sales tax as im sure your aware.
If i dont have lockers by then ill get them too, and hide them in a flight case somewhere.
