Detroit Locker finally installed!!

After looking at my locker on the floor of my office for the last 3 months, I finally have it installed. I have only driven home from work in it.
I understand why you need to coast around corners now. If you accelerate it acts like a spool.
I am excited to try it in the dirt! I will post after its first test.

Congratulations....you must have a very strong sense of self-restraint....I dunno anyone who could have saw that locker everyday for 3 mths and not resisted its calling to be installed.

If you don't mind, could you provide a breakdown of the costs that were associated w/ your locker mod?

Have fun with it...

Congrats on the new mod. You'll be amazed at the difference it'll make in the dirt.

I drove it around town today and could barely tell the difference. It does make the inside tire chirp around corners if I stay on the gas, and I hear it engage when truck is put in gear.

Hopefully I will be able to try it next weekend in the dirt.
