I know you can get them for the front diff, but i'm pretty sure you cant get them for the rear.

I have detroit lockers in my gq front and rear. for the nockres both in centers with 4.6 gears for $1000 front gears were new as was the rear locker cant do that with air lockers.

problems
cvs but i have never broken one in a situation where you wouldnt break one with any other locker.

reduced turning circle this is the one that is the most painfull but managable

mud in slipery conditions they will not unlock so steering is gratley reduced and the most trublesome

once you learn to drive on the road with with any automatic locker they are not that different . agressive throttle through cornering is not recomended if you dont want to draw attention to yourself

i honestly think that on a budget they are great but my gq isn't driven a lot on the road

if you have any questions just ask

as far as i know they stopped making them for the rear so it will be old stock somewhere or second hand but i think for the right price it would be well worth it i got my rear out of the tradeing post

im pretty sure you can get lokker diff locks for the rear of a gq... same principle as a detroit locker. but i would go with the front one first as the nissan lsd is fairly good anyway. you can also add more shims to the lsd clutch pack to make it work better
