Installed my Lockrite on saturday (Thanks for the good deal [MENTION=32837]J-money$$$[/MENTION]). Bought a new spring kit for it and in it went with the help [MENTION=82211]TCMach[/MENTION]. Filled the diff with Redline heavy shockproof gear oil which was a pain because it has the consistency of a milkshake.

Initial impressions of the locker are good, I drove it 3 hours on interstate and barely noticed it except a couple times when I let off the gas, then got back on it while still traveling at good speed. In town it unlocks when it should in low-torque situations around corners and then locks up when it should under higher torque. Torque steer (if that's the right term) isn't too bad, noticeable mostly turning right from a stop if you give it a good amount of gas. You can feel it when you put the car into gear, I think because it gives some torque to the driveline maybe and pushes the locker into the side gears.
Thanks [MENTION=88576]smkd13[/MENTION] for the write-up on installing the locker, the only thing I might add to it that [MENTION=82211]TCMach[/MENTION] recommended to me was taking pictures of the adjuster rings before you take them off so are sure you put them back in correctly.
Basically ready for Moab, although I might get my storage drawers built before I go. And I need some d-ring shackles for the front bumper and some other little things.
