No worse than the OP ...

You lock the rear just like you lock the front - weld the spiders or install a locker.

NOTE: locking hubs don't mean your front is locked!

V6 or 4Cyl?

Detroit, ARB, QuickLok, Powertrax, Aussie, Toyota (elocker) - in other words, just about everyone!

That is correct ... unless you drop a 4cylinder 3rd member in ... personally, I wouldn't want a lunchbox in the rear. Either the smoother action of a full Detroit or a selectable.

No to argue that a Detroit or selectable is by far better,which they are, but the driveability of a vehicle with a lunchbox locker in the rear depends a ton on the tranny type and the original poster didn't state what he has.In aAn auto tranny vehicle, a rear lunch box is about as undetectable as a Detroit in the rear. Auto's don't have all that silly drivetrain loading and unloading that the manual trannys do and that's what causes almost all the quarks.
