Lock Right Locker - Part 1: How it works [HD]

This is my explanation, as I understand it, for how the Richmond Lockright works. This is model 1830-LR which in Part 2 I'm going to install in my 1998 Ford Ranger 2WD which I often use for Off-Roading Mudding, etc...

Does this locks the 2 axles when in reverse the one wheel wil spin?

[KDCvideos]

@exman21 Yes, it locks under acceleration forward and reverse... I've backed out of some deep mud before after getting the front end pretty stuck.

@kdcvideos I know all about that I have a Toyota I crawl with I was just saying ford rangers are junk. I'm a mechanic haven't seen a "good" one yet. My fathers a ford guy and he junked his for a f150. It tows a hell of alot better than his 2wd ranger. I guess if you stuffed a 351 in it and beat the snot out of it a locked rear is nice to have but otherwise what's the point.

[KDCvideos]

@TheDeathCrawler We don't have rocks or mountains in florida, just lots of mud, so the point is the locker helps me not get stuck so much... Toyotas are nice, but I'll be replacing this with a Jeep next.

[TheDeathCrawler]

Too bad your wasting it on a 2wd ford ranger

[KDCvideos]

@TheDeathCrawler 2 wheels turning is better than 1 wheel turning, worth the money to me, especially useful if you have to tow a boat up a slick boat ramp. Oh and a lot of people put this in mustangs and other weekend race cars to improve traction off the line.

Excellent video!! Very informative.

@TheDeathCrawler Just to do donuts! haha its allway fun to burn the shit out a 2wd truck;p

Thank you, man! I've been trying to visualize this so I can understand how different driving conditions would affect it (my new rear-end has one and I'm debating whether I want to keep it or not).

This helped to figure out how it will affect it if I keep it and how to adjust driving style if I do!

i have a 82 toyota 4x4 and i want a lockright in the front, when its in 2wd will it still be locked or will it skid around turns?

could i use these lockers on my every day driver which is also my off road rig and not have a driving issues or should i get a selectable locker

[juliosturup]

Good information!! Finaly really understand!

[2azfeWeb]

I'm a little confused on this. Does this stay locked constantly when power is being provided to the wheels? Say, when driving normally on the road? I haven't seen much to explain how it may or may not disengage and go into open spin as it normally would be.

Doesit bring down gas milage alot? jw

[gsx44]

sounds nice but is it loud when you turn when the outside tire moves faster

[scorpydude]

Thanks very much! I finally understand now!!
