- 1979 CJ-7 with a fiberglass body and 1982 wide track axles, 258 I-6 with a 1995 4.0 head, HEI distributor, Motorcraft 2100 Carb, T-18 wide ratio tranny, Super Lift Springs and 33s, a 1997 BMW 328i, and a 2010 REDLINE CONQUEST TEAM Cyclocross Bike. :)
Here's my opinion. (and remember it's just an opinion)
If you have lockers it seems like you can always stay moving. You may not always move in the direction you intended, but you will stay moving.
If you have open diffs you will always stay pointed in the correct direction. You may not always be moving but at least you will be pointed the right way.
That's why I like a selectable locker. The best of both worlds.

Oh I'm fully aware of that. My main concern was spinning out on ice with a locker, but I really can't justify spending $900 for a selectable locker for my lowely AMC20 or Dana 30 stock axles. It would remind me of one of those guys that buys a $500 car with low book value and spends $5000 on a fancy paint job and wheels.
