Would like to know if Lockers like the Aussie locker will lock up when moving in reverse ? Thanks, Ron

Would like opinions on these lockers. They sound like an easy install. Will they work in reverse gear ? durable ? Thanks, Ron

Can someone tell me if 98 Wrangler OEM wheels will fit a stock 97 TJ ? Thanks, Ron

Where is the best place to buy E-Locker's ? Thanks, Ron

Red it is. Sounds like yellow might be good if you had an electric winch. Thanks for the info.
