The only two selectable lockers that I know of are the
- eaton e locker
- arb air locker

both of which require special setups
the eaton e locker would require a wire ran to the differential in order to engage the locker.

the arb locker would require an air line ran to the differential in order to actuate the locker which in turn you would need a compressor as well as an air tank and a ton of air hose and wiring.

to me the easiest way to go is to get the e locker yet in terms of trail readiness I would say the air locker would be better because it forces you to have a compressor and air tank onboard which is only helpful especially when offroad.



here is a detailed writeup on part numbers as well as options done for the 4th gens which pretty much is the same thing for our generation
