LockRight installation

So i bought a LockRight Locker a week or so ago, and got it installed today... brought the camera to take pics during the install process but forgot it was in my pocket til the end. opps..

over all the installation was fairly straight forward. i followed the Write up on 4x4Wire and it went very smoothly. i had a spare 3rd member for the truck so installed it in that first, then swapped thirds. it wasn't until i had the other 3rd member out that i realized that the gear ratios were different.. so i have a higher gear ratio now but that'll change when i get bigger tires and regear it again... and before everyone starts freaking out about changing the gear ratio THIS IS A 2wd TRUCK... :

initial test drive when fine, drove it the mile and half home... even with it raining and trying to get it to act squarely i couldn't. i'll follow up in a couple days and let ya'll know how i like it.

Dude, that will ruin your truck! Rip it out and send it to me, I'll make sure it gets disposed of properly in the rear of my van.

No good in a van, it has to be in an 83 truck.

Rumor is anything earlier or later wont work right.

So Chris needs to send it to me.

The address is:
