RE: auto locker

You will be ok, some people just don't know what they are taking about, however there is a possibality of breaking one. Go for it you will be unstopable on the trails, also are you doing a lift too?

RE: auto locker

Forgive my ignorance, what what is an auto locker? My initial impression would be that it is auto locking hubs that would allow the rear wheels to turn freely, and switch to 4WD automatically when necessary.

A locker locks both wheels in the same axle together, an auto locker (electric or air) does it with a flip of a switch so you can unlock it while normal driving.
