Can I just take my one legger apart, and put this stuff in it to get my two wheel peel?

No sir.
It's my experience that the traction-lok assembly requires an altogether different carrier. Needs more internal room for all that extra stuff.

Andy is correct.

AAAAAARRRRRRRGGGGHGHGHGHG!!!!!
Bummer. OK.

You're better off buying this instead of cobbling parts together. You could assemble a used posi for slightly less but why?

I'm just still trying to find a chaeper way around the almost 500 bucks for a detroit locker type diff. I just need to man up and whip out the check book...

If you are going to drive mostly on the street, I would use the posi. instead Detroit locker as dfwcatsclub posted. Both of the vendors listed are good people.

Does anyone have any direct experience with these? It seems like a very reasonable option.

Looks interesting, but can it withstand a decent amount of horsepower?
(I am looking at Detroit True Trac eventually)

They're excellent if you like driving in the ditch.
And if you think a Detroit Locker makes too much noise, wait'll you install this baby!

Didn't someone sell you a Detroit locker??

Go for a Detroit True Trac, no noice, no clutches to wear out, and no special oil needed

Regarding the lock-right stuff, I installed one in my Jeep 4 years ago and it is still working and it does what it is supposed to do. That being said, I do not like the twitching that is does on a regular basis as sometimes it loads one side and sometimes the other. Most times I get a torque push when accelerating and then backing off the gas. There are times when it unloads or unlocks and I get a bang that makes me think I broke an axle! I would never run one in my street car. A well maintained limited slip will do as well, be much nicer behaved, and cost about only a slight bit more for a new one than that twitchy lock-right stuff. And the limited slip is so easy to rebuild I would not worry about wearing clutches. They do not wear out too quickly anyway.

I meant this as a reply to woodsnake's question on this stuff:

Art, yes I did get a deal on one, but I have 4 cars that I'm working on..
If I were stateside, I'd buy the one with the 4.11 gears, but this time I'm going to let that one pass.
If the clutches don't wear out that often, then I don't really have to worry about it. It's just that for years I had thought that the detroit was the manlier version, and I wanted the manlier version..
