Cons:

Handling can be unpredictable
If you break an axle you break the locker (hence the need for MD or JM axles if you fit one).

Not true, mine worked very well, slight amount of understeer on hi speed sweepers but other than that you wouldn't have know it was there.

And when I snaped axels, the locker was fine.

Just run good oil in them.

even if you bust an axle you still get good drive off one.as for how the thing drives.i had mine out for a few weeks a month ago and had an open center in its place.you soon notice how much you miss not having it in. the vehicle will turn diffrent but after one weekend you will not notice this.

Thanks for the replies. Drove a 110 with one in the rear
on the weekend & found it worked really well, only
had to think about the front locker & when it was needed.
It gave exellent drive on all the terrain we drove on.
I think its as good as an air locker.

Thanks Jeff
