That does suck. In my case, it's probably that I left something on. Since she spends long stretches parked, I figured it wouldn't be a bad thing to have anyways.

We used to do real trees, but they are getting so expensive for a good noble fir. We got a good deal on a fake one years ago, and never looked back. My sentimental side favors real trees. But my practical side always seems to win when it comes to wasteful spending.

I always did a real tree until the GF and I bought a house. She claimed she was allergic. I didn't believe her (she claims to be allergic to everything!) Bought a real tree, set it up. 5 minutes later, her eyes were puffy and she was having trouble breathing. Whoops.

Yeah, looks just like a lokka, but I'm OK with that. Might be easier to get as well.

For some reason I always thought of Lokka as a front diff only thing since people always talk about turning. From all the negatives I’ve read, it seems like having it in the rear would eliminate all of them.

I would not put a lunchbox locker in a C200.

Why not? I've seen them run in lots of smaller rear axles with great success.

Is this complaining about the extra space or bragging about how much easier it was to give out hand jobs?

Yeah. And I've seen lots of C200 failures. I think the size of the axle is too small for the weight of the truck. shiat, the 226 is still too small. A D35 works fine on an XJ because it's small and unibody. And I don't have any issues with lunchbox lockers. I think the rear is a good place for them if you don't want to spend money on a selectable. But. I just feel that the C200 doesn't get better when subjected to locking stresses. Especially on the street if you screw up and try to goose it through a tight corner.

If a lunchbox is set up right, it shouldn't be locked in that situation. Plus having the locker generally means you don't need to be as aggressive on a given obstacle. I've wheeled with Jay and I don't think he'd have any trouble with his wheeling style.
I've heard of many more D35 failures than C200K failures, but I agree they are under sized for the weight of an Xterra, offroad.

That was my thought/hope as well. I’m not trying to climb big rocks or drop off anything steep. I can see needing it on moderate climbs on dirt where terrain was uneven (like that little thing you went up backwards on at Flagpole) or getting out of mud.
Obviously I’d prefer a selectable locker, but price vs how much I’d use it (need it) is a little steep.
And all the negatives I’ve heard about Lokka and similar concern steering and it being in the front.

The one thing to remember with one in the rear is that you have to coast around tight turns. You can accelerate gently on sweeping turns, but can't hammer down. Tight turns need to be full coast.

None of the ones I set up or have been around had this issue.
And the ones I have been around and ran in the front of my K5 didn't have any adverse affect on steering either.
In a turn, if the locker is set up correctly and functioning, the outside tire will be rolling faster, this advances the axle plate and ratchet plate on that side, relieves the pressure the ratchet plate is placing on the center pin which allows the ratchet plate to unlock from the axle plate. That allows the axle plate to advance without binding the driveline.
Now, if you're flogging it, you'll inevitably spin the innter tire which you're lifting the weight of the vehicle off of naturally which will cause the locker to lock up. But I never found that to be an issue in average driving. But I also have DD'd 3 vehicles with V8 engines and mini spools in the rear axle so YMMV....
