I've decided to order a lock right and i have a couple questions.
1) where have you guys found them for a good price?
2) I believe the part number i need is 1610, is this right guys?
3) on a 1-5 scale how hard is it to install myself?

sorry if this has been covered before (im sure it has) but i couldn't find the answers to these particular questions. FYI my truck is a '87 4x4. Thanks guys

 

Try Marlin Crawler

 

also do some research on Zuk's site: gEARinstalls.com
I used one of his write up to set up my Aussie locker install

 

Hey bro, if you think you'll need help installing it contact Showstop on TTORA. He helped with my rear lockright install.

You'll love the rear locker

 

yo scuba, what gears are you running? I was considering changing out my gears (i have 4.10's w/33's) but i didnt really feel i had a problem when we went to cleghorn

 

I've got 5.29's

On a 22RE or a 3RZ, 4.88's are the norm for a 33. Some folks (like myself) run even lower gears to offset the addition of all the extra weight I've added. I've got 300+ pounds in armor and gear alone. Plus I plan on going to 35's so the 5.29's were a no brainer.

 

Best price I found at the time.

I've heard some bad word of mouth about PORC but the couple of transactions I've had with them have gone smoothly.

1610 4 cylinder 8 inch diff
1620 6 cylinder 8 inch diff
1611 front 7 1/2 inch diff

It was easy enough to install but I felt the whole assembly was still loose when I got done. Fortunately I live only a couple miles from ZUK. He fine tuned it for me for a nominal fee. So yes, you can install yourself...but, it's really nice to have a solid resource available to check your work if needed.

 

1) I got my lockrite from PORC with zero issues and they garranteed it through them for any tire size and hp plus had the best price including shipping. But before I decided to order from them I called several venders, I used pirate4x4.com vender section, they have a much large vender section. Compared prices and made sure they were in stock. Salespeople get paid to sale so I only do business with folks that will take the time to answer every single question I have to offer.
2) sounds right but look it up and have vender look it up.
3) didn't install myself as I was regearing at same time.

good looking out blknblu, locker has been ordered! I'm going to try it out with my 4.10's for now, and if i swap gears later then at least i didn't waist installation cost
