jc43089 Posted February 18, 2020 Report Share Posted February 18, 2020 I got tired of getting stuck in my Land Cruiser with open differentials so I ordered a Spartan auto locker for the rear axle. I probably should have gotten one a long time ago, it was only about 270$ I couldn't justify spending 800+ for an ARB or other selectable locker. I'm pretty excited to see how much it helps. Open differentials are worse with stiff/lift springs like I have because if it doesn't flex well then there are 2 tires with less grip and they will just spin. With a locker and my Treadwright M/T tires it should dig pretty good through the woods and snow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Also I do like to turn in a reasonable radius. Also Toyota 9.5" third members are not very common. Only on the Cruisers and lots of mini truck and 4Runner guys wan't them too.

jc43089 Posted February 24, 2020 Report Share Posted February 24, 2020 Spartan locker installed in the LC rear axle. I should have done that years ago. Incredibly more grip, I have Treadwright Mud tires with "Kedge Grip" the walnut shells and glass in the rubber which help immensely on packed snow and ice. It should be pretty unstoppable in the woods now. My mother-in-law has a '17 4Runner TRD, I keep telling my father-in-law he needs to get rid of the highway tires and put some real tires on it. The new tech in the 4Runner is pretty cool, dynamic sway bars, etc. But it's also so nice that driving it through the woods would be psychologically painful, whereas I can't discern new scratches and dents from what was there before on my LC.

Boris3 Posted March 6, 2020 Report Share Posted March 6, 2020 No worries. Basically with BMW March is good: I figure I can celebrate 3/25 and 3/18 for the e30s, and 3/30 for the e46. m42b32 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

patsbimmer1 Posted March 9, 2020 Report Share Posted March 9, 2020 Took my son out yesterday to run to the grocery store and take the long way home. I could physically feel my heartbeat increase driving the car. My son was fucking thrilled and kept telling me why we can't ever sell the car.

It only seems to work between like 9am and 9pm and my multiple attempts to register and email the admins for activation help have fallen on deaf ears.
