you can use the axial lockers(direct fit) i picked up the green locker from my lhs last year for 10$ cnd.

or you can fabricate your own from 1/2 inch aluminum rod. A 12 inch length will give you enough material for over a dozen lockers.
the dimensions if i remember right are 1/2 dia X 1/2 long, 3mm hole half way through the length, the slot is 3mm x 5mm through on the flat face.
I went this route for my wk once i found out the axials would fit.

And a free yet reversable way is to take one of the 3 small gears in the diff out and work it in next to one of the other 2...I know there's a post somewhere that explains this way better.

You can hot glue them!! I did this and it held for a good while, plus you can cut/pull the glue out when ready to upgrade."thumbsup"

Ya, JB weld for cheapness, or Axials for reliability.

Don't get me wrong, JB weld will work. I used modeling clay my first time around, lasted a while. BUT, if you JB weld it and it decides to take a dump on you your going to spend more money fixing parts you ruined than you had if you just got an axial locker. Hot glue will work to, but it will have some slop. Good thing about a locker is that you don't have to pick it out in little pieces if you decide to to another route.

X2 My JBed diff is now limited slip and my aluminum locker is perfect.
