You can buy the stickers on fleabay. Personally I'd prefer the LSD in my diff rather than the sticker.

Some bloke called "dustbowl" I think - that's where I got the image from (google images).

I'd rather a locker after seeing some patrols reverse up big steep hills on the weekend :cool:

True but I don't want to reverse up big hills more just get through some rutty situations without the shitty open diffs being a PITA.

That barb is the sort of thing I was talking about.

El Freddo, thats not deep enough to float it, depents on how much weight is in the back. Get it half way up the headlights, with not much in the back, is about where the rear gets light.
Mudddd pudles are sticky and yes muddy = not water.
Fast, deep creek crossings is where the fun begins, by the rear going downstream.
It might float, but at least it does'nt let much in during crossings, spend a long time in the water, yep it will sink.

But its very hard (no not impossible) to get the water in the diff breather if its at the top of the rear quater panel.

Taza please hurry up with your manual lockers. Then somehow make locking fronts. Please.
Then we will all be very very very happy.

All I can say is LOL.

Yes I need to get my arse into gear but uni is now getting in the way. I will certainly try. ONe locker would certainly make a huge difference than nothing.

Nothing wrong with the subi box if set up well...

Tambox, it wasn't mud, it was very mirky water, and I got cocky then got stuck. She sank pretty good even when empty!

Really? I intended to install a sticker with an LSD attached to it...

Hey Taza, when you do get the locker done, you'll have to get some tickers made to go with. :)
