danny,
How do you like the powertrax?. Does it do what it is supposed to? How long of installation and how much did you pay fo it? I am ready to buy one but i would like to hear any comments on it.
thank you

I suggest going to the dealer on this one. They have a special tool kit that takes no guesswork.
I have used this kit, and it works...the first time!
I think it will be worth the expense to avoid problems later.

THE POWERTRAX no slip is fine...vexcellent should be the description...easily installed but you do have to read the instructions well...bought it from reider racing and ask for DON WARREN..he knows me well...tell him danny from the philippines recommended you...cost is about 409 dollars....it is less jerky than my previous EZ locker...tested it on a steep sandy and gravel hill and it performs superb!!!side slip is imminent though.....overall i would get it....FOLLOW THE INSTRUCTION OF ASSEBLY WELL AND CHANGE YOUR LUBE AFTER 500MILES....
