Yeah, but didn't some troopers or rodeos come with open carriers and the same gearing? My point being that you could weld a third member up on the bench where it's easy to do and just swap it out. At a junk yard a third would cost you less than $100, at least at pick-and-pull here it's about $100 for an entire rear axle. All I was trying to say in my last post was that if you really do want to go more aggressive wheeling wise, then it can be done without a large pile of cash. There are many different levels of what you can do to enhance wheeling abilities, it just depends on if you're willing to do what it takes and accept certain compromises with either time, money, effectiveness, durability, etc. Look at my lift. I knew lifting that high would eat CV boots, but I went into it knowing and accepting that. Same with lockers. If you are willing to live with questionable traction that a lincoln locker will bring in slippery situations, but you think it's worth the payoff in the cost and performance departments, then go for it. Or if you want to go the cheapy route for the front locker, and are willing to live with ratcheting when you turn, then get the Aussie. Once I swap out my axles, I'll be running open diffs. for awhile until I can scrounge enough money up for lockers, but I'm willing to wait and suffer in the meantime to get what I want in the end. All I'm saying is that cost doesn't always equal results.
