Locker or spool?
Ok, I have a 79 Bronco w/ ford 9", and I'm going to buy a new center section from MAE Racing, and would like to know what to choose, locker or spool?
It is my mud truck, 90% of the time it is off road, but sometimes travels in town on just on the street to get to the mud.
So should I get the center section w/ a spool for $550 shipped to my house, or the third member w/ a detroit locker for $720 shipped to my house.

If you are driving 10 or so miles and its mostly straight driving, as in no sharp turns, then Spool would probably be find.

Half the times I go, it's not more than 1 mile if that, and the other half could be around 10-20 miles. Every now and then I might drive it to town (5 miles), but not often.
I have to take a good 4 turns on pavement to get out of my neighborhood.

The only reason I was considering it was b/c I will drive it on the road every now and then and it's less than a $200 difference. BUT looks like spool is the better route?

Well I got a really good deal on a aussie locker($150)shipped to my house, so I got it, and a spool is about the same price anyway. I'm going to do gear work soon, and trying to find a good set up.
Thanks for all the help so for guys.

Id go winch, if youd like opinions...
I need more money too... I need a locker and a winch, but dont have money for either... unless someone wants to donate either of those or a set of 20" rims to me...
