Just like the title says. What are people using out there for this body mod. I have wanted to do it for a long time, but only got rid of my door locks. I think it is time to go all in.

I have the full autoloc kit and am currently installing it. Installation of these isn't hard provided you can weld and wire things. If you can't youre going to spend a chunk of change having them installed.

I can do both of those things no problem. I am aware of autolock. Really wanted to know if there are any other kid that people are using as well. Thanks

I had a shop install mine. After about a year they stopped working. Metal brackets were thin half rusted out as well as the solenoids were jammed and corroded. Bought an autoloc setup and could definitely see a HUGE difference (thicker brackets, beefier solenoids, and better wiring). Couldn't tell you what kind the cheap ones were, but the autoloc (75lb I think) were still working (6 yrs) till I took the car off the road.
