How good is Trac Lock offroad? Is it noticeable at all and does it help? If i get a really good deal on one is it even worth putting one in?
Thanks

If it's used I would pass on it,it's probally shot and needs a rebuild,which when all said and done will cost more then a good LSD like the TT.It's not great,it's not even good but it's just a hair better then having a open diff.

Its brand new and its $70. I just wanted to know if its even worth getting.

Is there some grinding he would have to do to get it to fit??

Are you going to install it yourself?

If you DIY I would say get it. If you are going to pay to have it done I would say save up for a Detroit tru trac.

I don't think I can do the backlash set up so I would probably have to pay somebody to do it.

Only $70? Wow! For that price.......It is definitely worth it.......but I would still go and spend the extra couple hundred and get something better.

So should I get it or wait a while and do Detroit TrueTrac? Now Im not hardoce offroader but do take it out about once a month or so, is it even worth for me getting a TrueTrac?

Do you ever:
get stuck
take the strap
bypass obstacles you would try with a DTT?

If you can answer yes to any of the above then it would be worth it the next time one of those situations arise.
Of course this mod would only allow you to get stuck deeper or in between bigger rocks! :lol:

Otherwise you are just wasting your money.

I have one in mine. It's good as long as both rear tires are on the ground. If one is hanging forget about it. It's like an open rear. The one hanging will be the only one spinning. I got it brand new off ebay for like $52 so i can't complain. If you were pricing new vs. new spend the extra money and get the true track. $70 brand new for the trak lok, you really can't beat that. :wink:
