Kinda partial to the PowerTrax No-Slip here...after 2 years, still seeing 3 things in the rear view mirror...2 black marks and a big 'ol chit eatin' grin.

i just bought a lockright for the front. ive heard locking the front first is better for the street, since when in 2wd theur is no power to the front. and better in the woods because the rear wont be pushing the jeep when turning.

In 4wd on the trail a locker in the front makes tight turns more difficult.

Auto-lockers (Aussie, Lock Right, Spartan, PowerTrax) all operate the same. The PowerTrax No-Slip is the only one that does not ratchet/click in a turn. The only time auto-lockers unlock is in a tight turn under no or light throttle. The inside wheel is locked while the outside wheel is unlocked. When in a turn, if the inside locked wheel looses traction, the outside wheel will lock the moment the rpm of both wheels becomes the same. They unlock easier/sooner when in a turn on dry pavement. Going straight, forward or reverse, they are locked, period.
