i would say Highlifter. but i have not really check around
I purchased mine at ATV outfitters 928GT .....339.00 Easy Steer Detroit Gearless Locker !! only shopped around a little bit though . We get Big snow here in Newfoundland, so it's a good choice for my application ( lots of bogg , mud , everything here as well )
I bought mine at Yasky because HL was on back order for 2 months. BIG MISTAKE..........there was a missing part and one excess part resulting in complete disassembly THREE times. You know who helped me out and shipped a part for free.............yep HL. Go right to the source.

This was my third DGL and the other two were ordered right from HL without incident; plug and play.

Good advice and will most likely get it from HL. Since they seemed to have instigated Eaton to make it, they deserve some support. Just wanted to be a smart shopper and do a little research first.

Thanks as always for everyone's help!

I purchased mine at this site. No issues, all the parts were there including the directions to install.
now if they would just get Eaton to make a selectable locker.

AMEN, I have been looking for an electric or air lockers for an ATV. No luck so far.

I have used ARB air Lockers in the past and my Jeep Rubicon came stock with factory Air Lockers front and rear. Both have worked great!
ARB , for an ATV , Now that would be trick !! Have had several full size Blazers , with ARB's . like Honda's virtually bullit proof.
no the only aftermarket locks for atv is the DGL.


what year is your jeep? and i though they came with electic lockers from the factory.
Ahh. forgot .. yes 928GT , i would just go to the source, when i received my Locker from ATV Outfitters, the lil bottle of additive was only a 1/4 full... the Locker itself had surface rust on it!!, Now could be from inspections?? But i guess thats a mystery, but however they did send a new bottle , 2 weeks later ha ha ..... just wiped down unit really good with some light oil, then brake kleen... my .02

You mean the only Gearless locker (that you and I know of). There are plenty of other lockers for ATVs, Spool lockers and the famous legendary "Lincoln Locker".

On top of that every other ATV manufacturer(except Honda) has a selectible Diff lock, so somebody else makes ATV lockers too.

2005, Jeep Rubicons (at least the first 2-3 years, can't say for sure on 2007-2008 ) come with air lockers. An ELECTRIC switch turns on a low pressure air pump that activates the locker and then an electric sensor(located where the anti-lock sensor would normally be) verifies the "lock-up" and lights up the indicator on the dash. Installed many of the Factory Jeep Rubicon Dana 44 Air Locker systems in early Jeep Wrangers and know them intimately. Neat little systems, wish I could shrink it with a "shrink ray"

Now if we could just shrink one of these (see photo) Rubicon Rock-Trac Transfer Cases with 4.1 gear reduction and stuff it in our Foremans we could run 35" tires and spin the heck out them
my buddy just put a front end out of a yamaha in his 450 foreman along with switches. It works like rats fighting.
dude what part of nc you ride where you would need 35s and what size lift you gonna build may want one just picking but really what area in nc you from i'm in taylorsville and not many places here outher rhan brown mtn and brushy mtn motor sports park around here to ride but i can't ride my foreman at brushy cause my tires are to agressive (more than 3/4 in tread on them) wanted to ask if you knew any good riddin spots ty

DUDE, putting a Jeep Rubicon Transfer case and 35" Tires on a Foreman was a JOKE I can go anywhere I desire on my 26s.

Brown Mountain is 30 minutes away from me, been riding there for 20+ years. Maybe we will see each other there. Planning a weekend Boondock trip there in the next month or so. Keep an eye out for a Nitrous Toyhauler, stop by and say Hi.
When is this BADD site going to be up and running?

Last I heard was a month or so before any real details will be there. I think all there is now is an "intro" page.
Instead of starting a new post , i thought i would just show some pics here!, started my install of the DGL tonight going to run by a friends tomarrow night (or...before the weekend) to machine the Ring, a few pics
Few more
