wow, so I will only notice a front locker when in 4wd, it really makes much more sense to me because in my truck with a center diff lock, there is a 50/50 split betweenthe front and rear, and the front wheels loose traction much easier. I just want to be sure, that the lcoker will only work when in 4wd, and not in 2 wheel. I want this vehicle to handle like stock in 2 wheel, but be as nasty as it wants in 4wd. Thanks, somebody just please confirm. Thanks,
Jason

also, on all of the charts I see, the fitment chart for the front only goes up to 1999. I have allready purchased a 1620 model, but I dont think the front and rear diffs are the same, so I probably wont be able to install it in the front. I'm guessing I will have to return it to purchase a different model for the front. Anybody know what model lock-right is made for the front diff of an '01 Runner? Thanks in advance!!!

The ultimate setup would be the toy Elocker swap into the rear, and an aussie in the front....
That is the setup my buddy went with in his 1st gen runner and drives completly stock on road, and walks almost everything off road.... An aussie in the front will not lock untill powered... so as long as the drive shaft is not spinning, then it acts as an open diff.... that is why you cann't install an aussie into an AWD vehicle.... I have one in the front of my bronco.... and love it!! big time improvment!!!

Nice, it basically has to be a lockright, because that is what I bought, the part # for the lockright is 1611, do you know if it will also be unnoticeable in 2wd? I believe they all work the same, but just wanted to double check. Thanks!

dued, do you have ADD or manual hubs?
"We "Do Not" recommend the installation of a locker in the front of a vehicle that will be driven on icy highways in 4WD without manual hubs.

It will work fine so long as it is not AWD.... Now that I think of it, my buddy is running the Lockright 1611 in his '88....

Doesn't the ADD disconnect one of the axles out of the carrier?
Even if it doesn't, manual hubs would make the locker transparent on the road. If you live where it snows, manual hubs would allow you to avoid the apparently sketchy handling of a locked front in the snow by only locking one hub and having 3WD.

I am not sure what I have up front, it is definately not Manual Hubs. I NEVER run in 4wd, unless it is very very snowy on the side streets in my neighborhood. In this sitation a front locker would probably be better. The only other time I use 4wd would be offroad, where I think the locker would make a huge difference, hopefully in a good way. The lockright says that it ratchets, so the wide turns shouldnt be bad at all. And for tghter technical sections, if I really had to, I could take it out of 4 wheel really quick. On road, if I ever had to use the 4wd, it would be in the snow, but like I said, I have NEVER had to use 4wd at above 20mph on the streets here,and even if I did, the ATRAC in my Runner should be able to help with any kind of slide or skid. I think this locker would be the bet choice, and I am trying to get the guy to change my order. Like I said, I just want the front locker to be completely unnoticeable in 2wd, it can be as nasty as t wants in 4wd.

I wouldn't lock the front of my DD with a full time locker unless you have manual hubs. Just put the locker in the rear, you already bought it and it really isn't that noticeable, you'll get used to it in a couple days and you'll automatically adjust your driving style to make it work, you won't even notice the adjustment it'll become natural very quickly.

damn, well if this isnt one of the most confusing descisions ever!, TEPUI, didnt you say you had a lockright in the rear and you hated it?? It doesnt even matter to me if I don't get as much off-road gain, some is better than what I have now, especially for $200, and I really really really don't want it to act weird on road, at all, like I said, in Jersey, I don't think some of the stuff I have been hearing will work. Any gain offorad like I said is worth it to me for $200, I just don't want to feel it on road.

but (from what I've heard from everyone with one) you WILL feel the one in the front even in 2wd. The general consensus from almost everyone is to lock the rear first and to avoid things other then selectable lockers up front unless you're going to be wheelin it alot and spend the majority of your time off the pavement.

I know of ZERO people with a front locker and ADD (other than ARBs) Sounds like trouble to me. Contrary to what the Aussie site says, I've been told by countless peeps with more real experience than I, that the rear is where you want to start...and it's more transparent for DD Find someone - anyone - any vehicle with a rear locker - ride with them - or see if they'll let you drive their truck - you'll see it's not a big deal. I live in the city, my 4runner is my DD (my ONLY vehicle) - rear locker rocks, just keep your foot out of it and learn when/how it locks/unlocks

Ok, I'm gonna call the guy that sold it to me tomorrow, and ak him what he suggests. It seems that most of the people that says it rides rough, have a manual. Mine is auto, so I'm hoping that if I do lock the back it will ride smother. I always though that if you put one up front you wouldnt be able to notice it unless the truck was in 4wd, unless I am mistaken. I'm also going to ask him his suggestions, and post what I hear for your verification. Thanks again for being so patient with me here, I know most of you must be sick of this thread and my indecisiveness by now. Thanks,
Jason

The way I understand our drivetrains, with ADD front drive system our CV's, and diff's are always spinning. Both in 4wd and 2wd. The 4wd engages in the transfer case with auto hubs. So this would mean that a front full time locker would have the negative streetable effects all the time. The only way that this would not be the case is if the hubs were converted to manual. (which would cost more than doing an ARB locker) With manual hubs in the off setting the cv's do not spin which also means that the diff will not spin unless in 4wd.
All this aside the front drivetrain is not nearly as strong as the rear. A locker puts way more stress on the parts and I would rather slip a bit in the front and get a good bite in the rear than break in the front while slipping in the rear.
