yep, that they do. I had bought a EZ locker for the rear of my explorer last fall. when the bolt broke on me, I put the broken part back in, and put the locker on ebay. Not that my daily driver needed a locker anyways

BTW, I feel honored to be a hero now. I take pride in my lincoln lockers, I've done 6 of them in the last year or so. I guess I see so many people asking about them, who would be far better off with a factory limited slip. At the same time you always have a half dozen arm chair wheelers who have never drove one, and talk about how evil they are on the street. Hell, a few years back when I put a mini spool in my truck, everyone told me I was crazy, and that even a locker would make it undriveable.

And incase you guys are wondering, I've made that quote on PBB and TRS where I post as Jrod-13.

I agree. Aha, Jrod, huh? Now I can place you. Good to have your input here as well.

I posted on here before about doing the same thing (didnt know they were called lincoln lockers though)

I couldnt seem to get anyone to understand that when it is on 2 wheel drive it wont affect ANYTHING with auto hubs.

Im glad someone understands what im saying.

From: Oregon-Take me wheeling..
MINI Spool is on its way. 2-8 bussiness days, got it from rubicon4x4. cant wait to get it in and go wheelin, hopefull ill have it in there by the 28 for that mud bog up north, tax returns are a great thing.

for my next trick i will single handedly build and mount a burly front bumper, get thicker coil spring blocks for the front.......im hopeing the added waeight will even out my camber so that it is just about right, and hopefull weld up some sliders. nothign over kill, i just like my truck looking purdy, not all dented up around that rocker panels. that should all cost me about 150$.....maybe 200$.

but ya.....mini spool in its way!!
