2006 f350 selectable diff locker opinions? Dang it this is a tough subject lol! ARB's are prone to leaks. Eaton e lockers seem a little more reliable, but do break occasionally. As overlanders, we get remote and reliability is the biggest factor in parts choice. As is parts availability. Is there a solid option for us, or do we just live on the edge?

The Ram 2500 gets to do it’s fair share of overlanding. It has got us in and out of some pretty nasty places and helped make some good memories.

This is my 99 Yukon Denali, I've upgraded front and rear diffs from 8 and 1/4 to 8 and 1/2 and upgraded the transfer case, also running a 350 crate motor and new transmission. More to come on this one it just takes time, by the way the pictures were taken up between Susanville and Medford Oregon, that was a fun trip.

Quick fishing trip to Collins Lake near Oroville Ca just the other weekend. No fish were caught but it was a great time.

I just recently purchased this, new to me, Raptor. I carried over my Krazy House Customs differential skid plate and a tonneau cover from the truck I traded in. I added a Decked drawer system and I am waiting for the arrival of my RSI Smart Cap Adventure. I've also order a custom set of leaf springs from Alcan Spring in Grand Junction, CO, I should get a call early to mid March that they're ready and my dad and I are going to make a little journey out of it and drive out there to have them installed. Not sure if I'll do much else modifying this year, anything else I may want I have some pondering to do before I make any decisions. Once I get to using it, maybe that'll make some decisions easier.
