i run a lock-right out back, and open up front. i figure if its open in the front it wont break shafts or u-joints. 6 years later i still havent broken either.

ARB's front and rear... so the best of both worlds... open til you need them locked

Welded rear, cheap and reliable. Not for suitable for a D35 or a daily driver though.

Posi front, was cheap at the time and is fairly effective, almost lockerish with the right brake application. Hoping to go to a selctable locker in the near future.

I like the daily driveability of open,.. but would love the lockers for the trails

I'm stock, open front, tracloc rear.  I'm really considering truetracs.  Maybe a detroit locker in the rear.  Still undecided for the rear. :-\
