Detroit lockers

I think they're cheaper through Locked drive systems.

$850 for a Detroit for the salisbury rear end in a 110.

Add to that approx $700 for axles and flanges from Maxi Drive and you have a very strong rear end for $1550 + fitting.

But who here thinks that maxi axles are required when a locker is added? Has anyone else got a locker with standard axles and not broken one? In the end if you dont keep the boot in when there is no possibility of forward momentum then you shouldnt have a problem

Matt -- I cannot speak for Rangies or Discos, but both my Defenders have gone through rear axles without having lockers fitted. They have not broken, but severely worn.

A couple of others on here have also worn rear axles, without lockers and not through too much right foot. In time they need to be replaced, it is just a question of when you want to outlay $$$.

im still out on the whole axle thing, thats all down to your driving style. i still havent broken one.

pretty sure marcle aka defute and LRH are also running std axles.

when i break 2 axles then i'll buy the maxi's.
im more worried about cv's!

just rember to not drive like you own a toyota!

What with a paper bag on your head to hide your face.

People usually need to drive like that 'cause they dont have lockers.

who normally does them?

I have been contemplating a locker as well.

Just curious about cost. Based on a lot of the above conversations everyone seems to expect Maxis locking kits are 2000 - 2500 ish.

LRA advertise kits for $1870 (including axles & other bits and pieces).

Is this missing anything (excluding fitting)?
