Cathy and I are in Lost Hills this morning. We'll probably be spending a day or so in Palm Springs and then driving in on the 31st.
We would love to meet up with someone else before we drive in....

I kept wondering why someone wouldn't want both....
Thanks!

LS and/ or Lockers
If I have the rear ARB lockers installed, isn't my SMB rear end still Limited slip when the rear lockers are not engaged?

Is the ARB rear locker worth adding to my build?
First of all, we're having SMB West build us a new EB 350. Secondly, the wifey loves camping, but hates campgrounds. So the plan is to get way off the beaten track. We've already spec-ed out the full...

Re: 12v air conditioner vs Danhard
Thanks for the reply,
