Not really because the only other lockerr that can be installed in the XK is an ARB. Your talking over $800-$900 just for the locker, then you need to purchase the compressor too. Then the entire rear end needs to be tore apart and set properly. Not something the normal mechanic can do. I can install a lunch box locker in less than 2 hours and get the same outcome as any other locker. Power to both rear wheels!!

I have an ARB in the rear of my TJ. Freaking love it as long as i dont pinch the line. I thought you were quoting a 5-800 dollar lunchbox. I put a spartan up front of mine for $200.00 Just read it wrong, my bad.

If I recall correctly, the powertrax no-slip is around $400. I dont think thats all that bad. I would love to get an ARB in the rear but the money saved on the No-Slip will be going into the purchase of a new transfer case.

ARB does make a locker and a few others as well but there pricey. 4.7 has left over HP on the trail so it's the QD that's the appeal IMO I'd take a 4.7 with lockers over the hemi with QD but that's just me I guess.
I know that Lifted Up had an ausie locker in his before he sold it, so its been done. From what I read he really liked it. I've been thinking of getting one myself.
Now I am definitely no where near as knowledgable on these 4wd systems as you guys are but after reading this thread as well as many others involving QTII and QDII; is there actually a trail and/or an obstacle on a trail that QDII can get through that QTII cannot? or does QDII just make it easier? It's hard to think QTII can't get to a level of offroading QDII can but I could be wrong
The reason I ask is because it seems many people want the QDII without questions. I am a newb to wheeling so I just simply do not know and would like too ;p

If your transfer case is working properly (cough, cough) a Commander with QT II will go down any trail that a QD II Commander will go down if they both have the same amount of lift and same tire brand. The QD II will just make it a little easier. If I recally correctly, I think I showed the QD II boys on that blue/black trail how capable the QT II is. Hell, I think I made it down the trail easier then they did. lol

I would have to agree to a certain point, as we saw at Whispering Pines, the QDII made it easier to get thru the same things your QTII did even less lift and A/T tires.. I also would say we dont really have much to say in comparison of whether the QTII cant do what QDII can cause we are limited to lift, tire clearance and lack of trails that we could really see both pushed to its limits or we just havent hit them yet... Id like to see a comparison done of some tough trails out west where the QDII is pushed hard and see if the QTII could keep up...
