I am looking for a cheap locker for my Jeep with an 8.8 rearend. I really can not afford a selectable locker right now. I was thinking of a full spool, Aussie lunchbox or welding it. I know the welding may be the cheapest but I am worried about the reliability of it? What would you guys suggest? I have an Aussie in the front already and have been happy with it. It just seem like the spool would be stronger and more dependable? I am running 35s and 488 gears with a four banger. The rear in it is out of a Explorer with the limited slip. I do drive it on the street sometime but not that often. Thanks!
