Lockers?

I want to put a locker in my 96 tacoma, but am worried about it making my drive rough. It is my every day driver. I cant afford an E Locker. Any sugestions?

I had the same issue. Selectable lockers are expensive. I chose to go with the Aussie Automatic Locker expecting to have a pretty rough ride. Turns out that after you learn how to drive with the locker it's really not bad at all. Passengers have no clue I have a locker until they hear the ratcheting. It's just a matter of learning how to drive it.


I love my Aussie and am very happy with my decision. Drives smooth and performs GREAT off road.

and yes it is my daily driver.

You are right. Archery Elk season is only 5 weeks away.

Similar to Roni, I went with an auto locker as well because I just didn't have the $$ for a selectable locker. I went with a Yukon Grizzley locker and I have been really happy with it so far. Like Roni said, it takes a little getting used to and it is a little noisy, but other than that it is great!

My 4Runner is also my daily driver and the Yukon is hardly noticeable, but it still provides the traction that I want/need when off road. Just another option...
