Outer Limits 4x4 Board

Well, they're certainly cheap - less than $300. However, I hear they just ride over your spider gears and smash em. Apparantly diff shops won't even touch em they're so bad for it... can anyone comment on this, had any problems? Keen for a locker but not if it's just going to break in a few months.

Cheers

u sure its a lock rite

there bout 650

yeah go for it there not bad at all on road

and it makes up for it offroad anyways

the spider gears come out when the locker goes in....

they aren't too bad on the road, just takes a lil bit of getting used to. if ya haven't done much wheelin tho, i'd prolly look at tyres and suspension first, get some experience with the rig on open diffs, less likely to tip urself over...

if you buy from the states, you have two options, with out without side couplers.

if you get side couplers, you take everything in the centre out, incl. the side gears, if you get without side couplers, you use your existing side gears. a bit cheaper.

I'll probably just buy it now while our dollar is good, and keep it on hold until later. I'll keep my tyres until they wear down a bit, and the suspension until I get new tyres too. Like you say, get some experience.

So with the couplers, it's as strong as a stocko, reliability wise?

my lockright didn't replace the side gears with couplers. from what i've read the one's that replace the gears with couplers have had more drama's than those that dont.

and like others have said. they're not _that_ bad on the road, and if you're not a complete retard, you'll get used to it after a few days and it becomes second nature driving with one.

Very happy with mine on road, you get some sway getting on and off the accelerator, but its easy to live with and lets you know the locker is there..

talked to figmo at roadlessgear.com 'bout the couplers, he reckons they cause more problems than they're worth and make the locker harsher... he wouldn't recommend them

There to cheap not to buy. I just got my 2nd for $280 and thats by air mail. Thats 2 for less than the price of one in aus and they are AWESOME offroad .

yeah not bothered about on road

just heard they chew up spidergears something chronic, anyone know anything about this?

HAVE NOT HAD ANY PROBS WITH MINE ON OR OFFROAD..

Dude,
lockright installed = NO spidergears

perhaps you mean sidegears ???
but I have not heard any reports even suggesting that there is any kind of problem along those lines

Hey guys i also have front and rear lock rite lockers! So there is ment to be a fare bit of play in them or not, every time on or off gas or gears or corners they clunk clunk. Is this normal? just been gone over by diff spec so i was hoping ok? Is any one elses the same?

Mine clicks (sounds like a slow ratcheting sound) when going round corners at carpark speeds.

Perhaps you need your backlash set??

thinkin of gettin one but is it better to get one with the couplers or with out.
what are couplers????

The couplers replace the side gears. From talkin to people in the states the advice i got was that the best option is to use ya existing side gears. The couplers are harsher and more problematic apparently. I have a detroit ez locker, and it works great. It runs standard side hears.

yes they will feel slopier than a standard diff as the centre of the locker has alot more movement in it than a stock diff ...

Unless yours is getting a bit weird to drive (like putting you across two lanes of traffic) then it most likley OK

click click is normal.
when it goes clunk it is not normal.
this can be 2 easy things..

1st is check your wheel bearings.as they tend to wear quicker.

the second is to replace the springs and pins....makes a hell off a difference..


dont let it get you down..these are a top locker for the $
