Another believer in the Powertrax No Slip
Installed my No Slip on Sunday. Talk about making me a believer in lockers! I ran it down my friend's muddy farm lane and through the snow in his fields, didn't even need to touch the 4wd switch. It was awesome sending two rooster tails sky high out of the back when I mashed on the pedal!
On road manners are great, I barely (and I mean barely) notice it, and that's when I'm trying to make it engage.
Install was easy. The directions that I had off the internet could have been slightly better, and only hit one snag when I couldn't get it to seat properly. With that snag, and copious amounts of screwing off and BSing, total time from wheels up to back on the ground was 3 and a half hours. Now that I know how it goes in, I could easily see it installed in under 2.

I love mine too. Best performance mod for a 2WD in my opinion. Keep an eye on your driveshaft u-joints if you use it hard though. Lunchbox lockers tend to shockload the drivetrain when switching "modes", and I pulverised my stock u-joints in deep sand a few years ago. Good thing they're an easy fix.
If you ever have to pull it out, make yourself a set of tongs with hooks on the ends out of a coat-hanger to pull the c-clips. Took me about 5 hours of scratching my head on that one.
Happy driving!

Thanks for the tips on the U joints. They sure took some abuse when I tested them out, then! Had it just hammered through the field! Haha.
