Default Why run rear lockouts?

Why do Bergs need aftermarket 'rear lockouts' when they already come locked out on the rear axle? - Thanks

The stock lockouts are total tire grabbers. I shredded way too many tires on the stock lockouts. FUBAR lockouts are totally sweet. If I could use em up front and have no steering and still crawl, I would!

I like the ones from CKRC. They get rid of the c entirely and use a one piece shaft.

These will be back in stock very soon. I have not seen a set of these worn out. Not to mention that it gives you an extra set of knuckles to use up front.

With just a little modification the stock lock-out could be great...and free given you have the tools to do this..

I cut the steering arm down drilled a new hole closer then trimmed the lock-out rod up to fit over the C. And wallahhhhh
