This is true. He once told me I should go on a run with them telling me "youll make it most the way with the locker and Ill just pull you over anything else".

Pretty sure that is why I decided to go LT instead of 4wd/SAS conversion. Cabo's invite scared me haha.

What locker are you guys running?

Siebler · 12-01-2010, 12:46 PM

I run an Aussie Locker. Its a full time locker as is everything available for the 7.5" rearend on my truck. Its not harsh on road at all like some of the others and does really well offroad. I still wish somebody made a Electric or Air for my truck though. Guess I could always swap out for a bigger axle.....

I was thinking about the Aussie Locker, but I wasn't sure about the quality...good to hear!

Yeah I actually heard of the Aussie Locker from one of the OEX customers. So far im very happy with it, its proven itself worthy everything from crawling to dunes.

went to Irvine Lake again yesterday fer shits & giggles.
First fish hooked was a big ass trout (10-15# stocker steriod plant fish) that spit the hook as I tried to fit the pig into the net. Fawk.
Ended up with three keepers (more rainbow lobster bait) that went for 6.5# I lost a couple other fish too.

ha Good morning on the water...had to change my direction a few hundred times as the lake was pretty crowded. Rental boats.

and a pic:

found it!
i would be down to do a co river run with fishing/wheeling as long as you dont mind my vicente fernandez music at 5 am

The old lady and i just got back from baja, too much wind to fish, but I really want to get back to puertocitos for some fishing diving and soaking in the hot springs.
