Selectable locker options?

What are my options for selectable options for my excursion? I would like to get it installed before winter.

not many options.

ARB makes a selectable locker for both front and rear axles.

Then there is the Yukon Zip locker for the rears. Basically just a rebranded ARB.

That's about it, really.

Just asking, but why would you want a selectable locker? Any reason an auto wouldn't do??

My ex is primarily used to haul my kids and in this area a trip to a real town is 50 miles 1 way. The roads here get pretty slick in the winter and I want to be able to run an open diff then. However during the summer and hunting season I would love to have a locker.

If I'm correct, installing most lockers makes the diff an open diff until locked doesnt it?

In most cases yes, but there are some OEM and aftermarket (Auburn ECTED for one) that are limited slip when unlocked.
