The Powertrax Lock-Right Locker offers the performance of a solid spool axle but allow for automatically un-locking for full turning capability around town or on the trail. This partricular locker also reduces annoying noise during operation and costly tire wear. Moreover, the Powertrax Lock-Right Locker also helps to prevent accelerated drivetrain damage. Lastly, the locker can be installed with common hand tools in under a few hours. However, note that a carrier is not included.
It has been widely used in demanding off-road applications around the world requiring extreme traction output and high-strength.
Because the Lock-Right Locker eliminates wheel spin-up, it also removes the unecessary shock that can transmit to associated driveline components. The product of this design is that the strength and integrity of the locker's original case is improved, which helps to keep your vehicle on the road. Cases that occasionally fail with open or limited-slip/posi differentials become one of the strongest links in the drive train when equipped with the Powertrax Lock-Right Locker.
The Lock-Right Locker has been used in the harshest conditions around the world by hard-core off-roaders, in towing applications, and even United Nation vehicles in rugged terrain.
For traction output, strength and durability, the POwertrax Lock-Right Locker. rivals much more expensive competitive lockers sold only as complete case replacement assemblies. It is a leading product because the Lock-Right delivers as much traction output, its end assembly is exceptionally strong, is much less expensive, and does not require professional installation (because the complete case assembly does not have to be replaced and realigned with precision calibration equipment).
An excellent choice for off-road vehicle applications, performance enthusiasts also began using the Lock-Right Locker to satisfy their extreme traction requirements for racing, hot-rods and muscle cars.
The Lock-Right's operation is fully automatic. It is designed to send the engine power to the wheels with the most traction, the Lock-Right will help get you where you want to go. While traveling straight the Lock-Right will lock the axles together similar to a spool. However, when the wheels need to differentiate in a turn, the Lock-Right will allow the outside wheel to rotate faster to complete the turn. The internal gears on the Lock-Right will overrun each other to allow this differentiation.
When operating off-road, the Lock-Right will always send the engine power to the wheels that need it most. For example, if you are rock crawling and one wheel is in the air (complete loss of traction), the wheel on the ground will receive the engine power and keep you going. Whether it be snow, sand, mud, ice, etc... the Lock-Right will give you the traction you need.
After installation, in some vehicles, the user will hear a light clicking noise as the gears are overrunning themselves and allowing the wheels to differentiate in a turn. This is normal of most lockers on the market today. We recommend the Lock-Right for vehicles that are primarily driven in severe driving conditions or are used for recreational off-road. For vehicles that are driven daily or require more mainstream application, the Powertrax Traction Systems offer a quieter and smoother performance.
Not happy with this locker at all. It was really difficult to install as it is just too tight in there. It will not ratchet as it should. I might as well have saved the time and money and just welded the rear end. Pass on this "budget" option and buy a selectable
Traction all the things! Installation was fairly simple, the instruction booklet did leave a bit to be desired though as the instructions applied to a wide variety of models and not this vehicle specifically. It does make some noise around turns (as it engages and disengages) some people might complain about that - I'm not, it's quite minimal. One note though: with the 7.5 4.10 gears: You NEED to trim the ring gear in order to remove the pin to install the c-clips, there's no way around it.
This part is NOT for a 2003 Tacoma 2.4 NON TRD standard cab truck. Contacted Toyota for ring gear specs- NO HELP, Contacted Richmond Gear- specified 1615LR-DID NOT FIT. Ordered 1611LR-Returned 1615LR to local 4 wheel parts store no questions asked for full refund. 1611LR is working nicely so far (couple hundred miles-maybe). Installation is EASY- A few hours with the right tools.
My cherokee is purely for offroading and installing this lockright in my front end has made a world of difference. I would highly recommend.I have no problems steering on road. The instructions are little vague and the pictures of our little blotchy, but after watching a few YouTube videos from others on how to install it, it worked out just fine. I would highly recommend this locker.
This locker is easy to install if you have everything that you need to completely remove the differential from a Jeep DANA 30 frontend. You don't need to reset any gearing, shimming, etc., but you do have to take it out to install. Once in, appreciate the awesome difference.
Works great, but make sure your side gears are in good shape and the right measurement all the way around, I learned the hard way before replacing mine, great traction off road, works well on road but you have to be under light to no throttle for it to unlock on turns,
Q: Does the Power Trax Lock Right Locker stay locked full time? Does it effect steering and turning on wet roads. I've experienced the rear end of some vehicles being pushed into a slide because of rear end lockers not disengaging in a turn. Ford Ranger Edge Answer this question
A: The Power Trax Lock Right Locker has springs to help ratchet when there isn't load on the center shaft. Power is transferred to the wheels through intermeshing teeth in such a way that one wheel cannot be powered ahead of the other. When entering a turn, where the outside wheel needs to travel faster than the inside wheel, the teeth driving the outside wheel disengage. The LOCK-RIGHT Locker is quieter than competing locking differentials, but nonetheless, as the vehicle continues through the turn, the teeth repeatedly engage and disengage producing a ratcheting sound.

Q: I have a 99 4runner supercharged and Long travelled. I like it to be as Versatel as possible I want a product that will allow me to go fast and still maintain control off-road. With this hinder that? Answer this question
A: The PTX1611-LR fits the 7.5 inch IFS front diff of the 1999 4Runner. It will give great traction when in 4WD but will make it harder to steer under acceleration and it will increase the chance of braking cv axles and other front diff parts. For higher speed off road use it would not fun in 4WD. If this 4Runner is an AWD model then you would not want this in the front diff. This is more for low speed off road use.
