So am I, I'm currently trying to work out whether to get a full locker or just a trutrack for my Disco. Horror stories for each type are welcome :D as are good stories. I mostly want it for muddy tracks, not rocks or sand

the reason i asked is my diff is on the way out and these look like a better replacement than standerd but without the fuul cost of a air locker, then later if i want i can fit an air locker to the front

Got TruTracs front and rear in D1 4.6 auto. Agree they are fantastic for all but really extreme use. Have saved my bacon many times when a traction situation arose before I could flick a switch or whatever. I really use my Disco offroad and no problems at all. Just to clarify.. they are not Detroit Lockers, very different mechanisms I understand.

A fron TruTrac will tend to reduce steering effect say when coming over top of a really soft dune and turning sharply. Easily compensated forr once aware of it. On shale or loose slpopes, just great. In mud if the wheels touching the ground I've got motion. Cheap too!!!

Had my detroit installed into a rear salisbury on the fender Monday... haven't had a chance to test offroad yet but have not heard any clunking from it or tyres chirping doing corners at speed etc... so assuming it was actually installed ;)

Have noticed how quiet my rear diff is now though... 90% of my drivetrain noise is gone since install :D:D:D
