My brother got a 2 door JK X model and was looking for lockers for it and could not find any. I was also looking for him and could not find any. Are there any?

Pretty much any major Manufacturer out there has a locker for the JK... What are you looking for front, rear? Auto locker, lunchbox, manual operated, electric?

Aussie for the front 30. For the rear 44 look at a lockright or Yukon spartan. All under 400 IIRC.

I would say just do it right the first time and go ARB. The Aussie lockers are cheap, but will have problems on dry pavement (like going from snow to dry pavement) and will make it nearly impossible to turn on slick rock. Do a search on JK-forum for lockers.... :JEEPIN:

JKOwners is a much better source of info then JK-Forum. JK-Forum will not allow posts that are favorable to a competitor of a sponsor. Or ones that are derogatory of a sponsor either.

For the record I've never heard of any issue with a lunchbox locker in a JK other that the typical quirks about them. Some people just can't learn to live with them. Wouldn't be any different between the $300 Aussie or a $600 Detroit.

Hmmm...nobody included links.
I've done the work for you;
http://www.jkowners.com/
http://www.jk-forum.com/

If you can afford it I'd recomend the selectable lockers too. "Affordable" automatic lockers like Aussi or LockRite perform well on the trails but not on the streets and you can easily snap an axle if you're not careful.

Well said. These are both good sites and many different opionions help make a great informed decision. :D

LOL... Eddie aka WOL is making some pretty good $$$ with that site and has pretty much gotten a heavily modded JK on the cheap from his sponsors. Many people have been known to mysteriously disappear only to resurface on the other forum.
