Can some one help me out with a locker quest?

Hello everybody,

Long time no see. Im glad to be back on the site. It seems as though I am ready to complete another step in creating my dream ranger and I was wanting to know how difficult it would be to install this locker. Any help would be awesome. I am really tired of spinning one wheel and want to start drifting again. I was going to buy a 240sx and then I was like no way how cool would it be to the only one at the drift meets drifting a ranger lol. I know many of you are like WTF dude but I think its fun.

I have the No-Slip version of that locker (also made by Powertrax..but more $$$) for my 8.8" and it was really easy to install. It was the first time I ever even opened up my differential..and I was able to install it in like a couple hours taking my time.

I thought there was a "how-to" on here related to it...I'll see if I can find it.

EDIT: Here is what I used to help me picture everything: https://www.ranger-forums.com/engine-drivetrain-122/how-install-powertrax-locker-axle-girdle-104568/

Thanks Logan,

Yeah Im pretty nervous about it cause I have heard it was really difficult with other diffs, but on their website the powertrax diff seems promising. My buddy works at a shop and his boss will let us use the lift after hours I just dont want to run into trouble as I dont want to have to shim or anything like what I have heard on other diffs. I hope you find the how to. Ill try and look too

Do you know where I can get a 7.5 No Slip for the best price?
