Title: Prepping for an offroad trip. Buy a locker or new hubs?
Post by: Kevin108 on September 09, 2002, 06:29:00 am

I've got a couple weeks until the trip, but it catches me in between pay days.  I might not buy anything and take my chances depending on how the money situation is.  Just wondering what you think I should get.  I kind of want some additional security of being able to make it off a given trail under my own power just incase I blow another hub.  Of course, hubs are cheaper so that might be what it comes down to but as much sand and trails as my truck sees, I don't think a locker would be a bad investment at all.  What do you say?

If it was me I'd buy the locker, but that's just me.

If I am not too late, I vote for the locker too.

Taking off road really showcased it's usefulness.  I'm sold!  One of the best mods you can make if you take a vehicle off the beaten path.
