I don't think there is one you can buy for the stock LUV rear axle. You could always " Lincoln Lock* " it if you wheel allot.


*Lincoln Lock: Welding the spider gears to each other, making them work like a spool.

Independent 4x is now selling a Aussie Locker for the Isuzu 10 bolt axle (the rear axle you have in your truck) that would be aabout as close to a locker as your going to get. ARB makes a selectable one but it runs about $700+ and then you need a air source. The Aussie locker is around $300, check this site out for more info

More to the point, the front Isuzu 10 bolt is the same basic diff as the rear 10 bolt in our LUVs.

No locker available for the Luv front axle, it's an Isuzu 8 bolt, not a 10 bolt

While you're at the Indy4x site, you'll notice a picture of an Trooper, with and Chevy Bowtie emblem on the grill? What year would that be, and what the???????

That would be Matt's rig, he's the owner of Indy4x, it's a 1989 Isuzu Trooper RS, D60 front, 14bt rear(I think, it may be a D70) 350SBC,D300, SM465 yada.yada.yada. He put the Bowtie on after he built it, since it does have a Chevy drive train under it kinda fitting.

When you weld the front, you can't turn with it locked in. You can unlock one hub to turn, but have to get in and out to lock and unlock it.
