Great. Yet another poorly designed product.

What was poorly designed? David makes it pretty clear it's not the cover, but sounds like some poor install work, not sure if that;s due to poor design.

I posted that before I saw David's explanation.

Twice in 3 months. Get out there and wheel that rig.

I didn't say I wheeled twice, just used my lockers twice.

I don't wheel hard anyways and a more experienced rock crawler could probably have done in 2wd what it took me to do in 4Lo and locked!

It's hot here now and I'd rather take my boat out on the lake and go tubing or wakeboarding, since the water is nice. My wife and I go camping and wheeling in the Spring and Fall when it's cooler.

Nice to have all the out door options.

Thanks for clearing the issue a bit, David. Much appreciated. I recently got mine, but haven't installed them yet due to backorder on the 5.13 gears that will be installed at the same time. I'll tell the mechanic who will do the installation to be careful with all the previous mentioned, as I'm also convinced that installation (of gears) is to be done very carefully and by an experienced mechanic. And with ARB's outstanding reputation, I doubt they'd release a product that would destroy any part of the OE locker...

That made me a little nervous too when I did my solids , but its been fine. I dont think mine moved though

wow. i know this is way off topic on an important issue and what i'm about to share has probably already been mentioned elsewhere, but in reading through this i noticed MAROONJEEP's sig line and wanted to see pics of his set up. so, naturally i clicked on his project-jk gallery. didn't find what i was looking for but i wasn't disappointed either...
