Well made and worth it

is a well made and quality item. It's also a one-time purchase item. I'm buying it for the second time just because some fool stole it from my truck. pox them. These locks fit my truck well. I drive and own two versions of the same car. These locks fit a '99 Mazda b3000 single cab 4x4 with torsion bar suspension. They will also fit a '99 Ford Ranger 4x4 with torsion bar suspension. Both cars are almost the same model and style. I've also seen these locks on these sprung cars. THIS IS FOR A 27…

Waste of money, complete garbage! Easy to install, but they come off even easier without your knowledge.

Okay, so I ordered sockets with handlock from a strong backbone. Put all the new front end components on my '99 Ford Ranger and install a solid locking hub assembly as directed. I pulled my car out of the garage to take it for a test drive, drove 1 mile, pulled back into the garage. As I got out of my car I looked down at the wheels and saw that the locking hub on the driver's side was gone so I went to the passenger side and found it was gone too. Tried contacting Rugged Ridge to let them know

Pros
  • Ball bearing
Cons
  • No power

My 4WD is working again, what more could you ask for?

Well I needed manual locking bushings for my '99 Ford Ranger because the automatic vacuum system couldn't handle a hose leak. (Dryrot?) I had to bypass this to get my 4x4 drive working again and it worked! It was a pain to remove the car hubs, but I made some miniature washers (12 to be exact) using a thin sheet of stainless steel. , and with 2 long mini flathead screwdrivers. I could do it. In hindsight I would use small heavy zip ties. I would trim the ends nice and square and they would work
