I wasn't wanting to ask who ever built their own locker, how they did it and what they used.

 

how about being a little more specific.

what axle are we talking about?
are you talking about welding the spider gears?
doing a spool?
installing a locker?
rebuilding a locker?

 

I'm talking in the rear end. Some on where had a post about they built their own locker out of a few materials and it didn't cost that much. I'm not really doing this for my truck but need the information on how to do it for a buddy. He doesn't want to buy a locker for the truck and doesn't want to weld the spider gears up either. Quick question though, is it hard to weld a spider gear?

 

if you're a good welder than its easy.


I highley doubt that someone built their own locker. I know people have built their own posi-lok, which is a center axles disconnect that replaces the stock CAD unit. It makes it mechanical instead of air. It also alows you to have 2 low.

 

Well I read on here where someone made something out of brake cable from a bicycle or something.

 

yup thats what I described. All it does is connect the intermediate shaft to the axle shaft basically eliminating the stock CAD system (which is done by vacuum).

 

Well what actually does that do, I really don't understand the consept of it. If you could explain how to do it and Ill try it out.

 

I explained it above.

do you know how the 4wd engauge system works on your truck?

 

Well it isn't for my truck but can you built one for a 2wd like my truck is. I want to make something to make the truck kick posi instead of buy a locker and without welding the spider gears. I'm actually a really good welder but I don't want to lose my truck in a slick curve. Can it be made for a 2wd to make it kick posi?
