Hi guys just tossin up whether i should get a Locker on my VLCT. It's currently LSD but i really want a locker. What should i get? How much would a new LSD cost? Is a Mini-Spool recommended?

hey there, i would recomend sticking with the lsd.. dunno how much a new one would cost but swithching to a minispool will give u sum extra expenses every 2 or 3rd week... Axels... Also consider the minispool putting strain on everything else in your drivline (wat i read from another thread)... I heard you can tighten up the lsd.. helps wen you wanna go sideways easier... Hav Fun man.. Jim

Ok my current LSD isn't working properly, the LH wheel only kicks in if i turn the steering to the left. What can i do, to have both wheels spinning easier?

Nah man, they'd be much more expensive than that bro. The standard axles are like 250-300 bucks each aren't they?
