Re: Rear locker
Yep... I wished I would of purchase mine with the locker... Then I have a friend who just purchased the Toyota FJ with the locker and doesn't want to take it off-roading...  Then here I sit wanting the damm thing knowing he'll never use his.... agggrrrr... The worst thing is that the sales person never said anything about the adventure model.... But, I should of did way more research.... So no one to blame but me...  |

Re: Rear locker
Don't lose heart....you will be surprised what you can do without a locker 
You still have 4lo lock
You still have Traction Control
You might have to a little better at picking your line in extreme situations, but don't be afraid to get out there.
It is still a kick a$$ truck |

No locker here and still having a blast. Try SuperSwampers, they're cheaper than lockers and accessories, I think.

Re: Rear locker
if one was to switch out the whole differential, other than electronics what might have to be replaced? f5fstop mentioned replacing the axle also, why would this be needed?
Just being curious not really planning on doing it, unless it costs less than the adventure package upgrade!
Oh yes, also does anyone have an idea how much the locking diff costs and rear axles if needed to be replaced?
Here is a link to eaton elockers? Would any of these work on the H3 as a replacement to the diff on the base model? http://www.traction.eaton.com/prod7.htm
Thanks!

Re: Rear locker
Last time I looked at the parts manual, it was only an entire axle replacement. That has probably changed by now, and more items are serviced.
