It replaces the spider gears in your differential. It makes sure that both tires are always spinning. Excellent for off road. Normally the transfer case shoots power to the wheel that is slipping only, so the other wheel doesn't spin. Excellent for on road use but horrible for off road. If you hit something and your LF tire comes off the ground but your RF is still in contact without a locker the power is sent to the LF tire. Does nothing for you. With a locker both tires spin and you get over obstacles easier.

Zwhiz, Scott, and everyone else wanting to convoy up, my directions take me Rt 50 - 495 - 270 all the way up. Normally I wouldn't like this route, but it's the weekend so I don't anticipate traffic being an issue, especially now that we can head up around 3pm. Let me know what you all think.

A couple of questions, am I going to need brackets to install these hooks? If so can they be bought or should I just get them made up?
