Learned something today...
If you remove a locker from a RWD vehicle equipped with a rear sway bar... and bolt on gigantic V710s... the rear inside wheel lift becomes beyond comical... and the inside wheels spins backward... which isn't always pretty when it comes back down.
I thought 1WD was bad... 0WD was much worse. That's all.

Re: Learned something today...
So the moral of this is to NOT remove the locker in the first place, eh?

We don't have any pics that we took but I can confirm that it was rather comical to watch from the course.

Re: Learned something today...
I'm pretty sure his folks removed it when it stopped being a F-stock beast and turned into the street truck.

It was worn out.... and subsequently retired from autocross duty. While I've considered all sorts of strange ideas like a Ford 8.8 rear end swap (on a Tacoma...) with a T-2R, smaller bar and stiffer springs... at the end of the day, this is my TOW vehicle, so I'll probably just save the money.
