Installed one on my Ford Explorer 3 years ago. Still satisfied with it's performance. I think They have recently been bought out by another company. Don't know if that's good or bad.

I've not used one but I have talked to two people at campgounds who had them and they were happy campers.

We have a 2008 2-wheel drive Nissan Pathfinder. It has a total of 102,000 miles on it. We have had the drive shaft disconnect on it for the last 27,00 miles. We have pulled the Pathfinder probably 15,000 miles with the disconnect installed. It has proven to be better than I expected. Never any vibration when driving car when disconnected at speeds up to 85mph. It can be a little noisy when first engaging it but otherwise is great. Use an Air Force 1 braking system. Went with this instead of buying new car since this is my 6th Pathfinder. All high mileage.

One clarification after reading my post. It does not vibrate above 85mph either. I just never find the need to go that fast very often.

OF all the Remco products this is the one that generates the most trouble reports here and on other forums.. But that said.. If I had a RWD car, it would still be my first choice. Just as the Axle lock is my first choice for a FWD car.. Alas, the car I have the LP-1 was the only choice.

(Can't get behind the wheel to operate the Axle lock you see).
