Am i the only one that finds this preposterous?The lockers are needed on any obstacle where you have tires lifted off the ground. I have seen people without lockers get through areas with tires lifted, but the only way to do that is with momentum and speed, both of which break things, and get you off line quickly. Also lockers will allow you to take some more difficult lines than an unlocked vehicle. I have done many obstacles both locked, and the same unlocked, and there is a huge difference in the lines you can take, and the finesse you can use since you don't need the momentum to get you through.
As far as the lockers go the best one for reliability purposes is the Detroit, but it will be noticeable in daily driving. If you want the best one that will have no effect onhow your vehicle handles as a daily driver then go with an ARB.

ok so how about we both run 40s and ill have an arb and u have an open diff and we will see who blows up their spider gears. a locker is better then a traction aid. it is an investment in trying to make an axle more bullet proof. when i had two tires in the air i would have loved a locker......
what i think this guy is saying is stay off the big kid trails........

actually i take my my 98 TJ 4 cyl on 2 inches oft and 32 inch tires on the BIG KID TRAILS wit hall the guys running 37's, and my wife drives the JK on 3 inches and 35's and so far i have done EVERYTHING they have. Like i said, I dont work monday or tuesday, come on over to Rausch Creek Pa, and i will follow you onto ANY trial you choose, in either Jeep, TJ or JK, If i cant, you can drive it home. But if i do, i get yours. Wanna wheel for pinks?

So you're saying you and your unlocked TJ on 32's can follow the exact same line as a locked TJ / JK on 37's, on any obstacle, without stacking rocks, on any trail?
