You really dont see 9" trac loks for sale that often on craigslist and when you do they are usually in the $100-150 range. Aftermarket versions are more.


EDIT: found the receipt for the spool and pin. 27.73 or the spool and 24.00 for the pin.

What's the rig used for? I highly recommend a automatic locker for anything that sees a reasonable amount of street time.


I don't care what anyone else says, I've ran mini spools, full spools, home made mini spools, and lockers in 9 inchers.

I broke more **** than ever thought possible with mini spools, full spools, and home made minis than I ever did with a full auto locker.


Broke the full spool in half, broke the pin/carrier many times with a mini spool. Than figured I'd make a mini with two cross pins, and blew the bearing caps off the back of the third member. Not to mention the countless axle shafts that twisted n broke. And 85% of the stuff broke running on the pavement.

Idk, I'd run a home made mini with two cross pins in the 9 before a regular mini.


But still recommend a locker if any street time.

If you looked through the sassy thread and didnt see a mini spool install youve got some issues


I suggest you look again at post #1 and #2.
