Arrow Rausch Creek Lake Christy Hill Climb (Pre & Post-Locker)

Just thought I'd share the difference my rear lock-right made for me for those who might still be on the fence. The videos do the hill no justice in my opinion, but it's easy to see the difference the locker made.

This video is pre-locker:

That is many attempts and the successful one was by using 2nd gear and a little more throttle than I would typically use.

Post-locker:

Nearly crawling in 1st gear.

Now that is what i needed to see. I know people talk about the difference a locker makes. But these videos will help me convince the boss on a locker.

I live in WV and I am about 5 hours from Rausch Creek. We are planning on coming up for the competition to watch the action on August 22. May head up a day early and do some wheeling if i get a few things done to the rig.

What tires where you running there?

The install's actually very easy. The tuffest part for me was handling the 3rd while going back together because they're shaped goofy for their weight.

I have recently installed a front locker when I did my SAS. The difference was amazing. You will not regret get a locker for the front.
