automatic, no switches to control it.
My installed did not need to buy anything seperate. it just went in. I have the old spider gears down stairs as they are replaced by the locker.

ive always been under the impression you cant do a locker for under 1.5k

I'm leary of lockers on IFS though because when wheeling, they increase your chances of breaking a CV. At least that's my experience with my friends and their Toyota crawler toys. They all do a SAS for the front for strength.
I'm curious how NJ99VX's ride goes. This is exciting... I think I just wet myself.

I thought they were squirrelly on road when you go around corners.

Scott, that is the locker in the rear, and yes it can be if you apply the throttle at the wrong time. If I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't do the auto locker in the rear since I drive up to 8 hours to go offroading, then again I only put 1500 miles on it last year, so I dont drive that much in the VX anymore. We will see how they pay off offroad before I make that call for sure with the hindsight.

Not if you have manual hubs. If I get the locker, I would get the cheaper superwinch hubs, vice the Aisins. Insurance for the CVs. Anyone know if there are other CVs that fit the VX, say from a rodeo, or Trooper?Originally Posted by Scott Harness

doulble check part numbers... but im almost positive 97 trooper CV's will fit the VX... as a matter of fact, almost anything suspension related will match the 97 trooper (according to indy4x)

Thanks jack, may be time to hit up the local U pull, see if I can score a set of old CVs, that would be good insurance if I go locked in the front.
Super VXer
yup... like i said...give indy4x a call and make sure, but i talked to them for a while on the phone the other day, (before making my rather large order from them) and they seem to be pretty confident that if i order parts for a 97 trooper they will fit on my VX

With a front locker manual hubs are a must with our vehicle, otherwise your front end will be bound up and you WILL break something . Also you get them so they breakbefore your CVs do, that way you don't have to keep changing CVs which takes a while and not easily done on the trail, versus hubs which are right in front of you an a lot easier to get to.
