Yes, they are both made by Richmond Gear. The cheaper, original design is commonly known as the "Lock Right" locker , and the improved model is commonly known as the "PowerTrax" locker. You can click either button to go to that models site.

 

Are there any other good options for the 2 gen blazers than no-slip , lock-right ? Meaning automatic "lockers" !.....

 

There are others out there, but in the low price arena, the Powertrax "no-slip" is the best deal. Lots of other Lock Right copies out there too. I personally went with the Powertrax No Slip after much research. If I had deeper pockets, I would of gotten an ARB air locker like most of my friends have... then you have on-board air for other things to like airing up tires when leaving the trails.

 

Been following this thread with interest. But need to get something clear in my own mind.
The Richmond Gear products are automatic, auto-sensing? No push button or other means of manual engagement\dis-engagement?

Can they be run front and rear? Sounds like they are intended for front only(?).

Seem`s like a great product and good bang for the $$$.

 

Like it says, it's automatic. It unlocks via wheel resistance. So when you turn on a hard surface, it unlocks. You can use them in the front, rear or both axles, your choice. Even 2 wheel drives can use them in the rear, like to tow a boat up a slick ramp, or in an over powered muscle car to keep traction. Having one whether it be in the front or rear will have an effect on slippery road surfaces, such as snow. It will make for difficult travel in winter weather because you will slide in turns easily because the wheels stay locked. That is due to the slick surface and no resistance felt by the locker. I don't drive my Jeep with lockers in the winter due to that. But off road it really shines.

 

Thanks for the clarification LuvMyTJ.

 

I was thinking Lock-Rite until I saw LuvMyTJ's photos. Now I will save up some more $$ and go with the Power Trax. Thanks for posting those photos,very informative.

 

Yes they are both made by powertrax which is owned by richmond gear. the nice thing about these style lockers is that you dont have to remove the carrier to put them in. Just pull the spider gears and put in the locker.

 

I'd love to get the air lockers too... they are $800 thou. This summer I'll probably put it in sometime when I have some extra cash
