2001 TJ Front Differential
Hi everyone. I was out West (OTR) delivering auto parts during the wild
fires. Terrible.
Home again for a few days and thinking about my TJ build up again. What was
standard for the Front differential in 2001. I have a Dana 44 in the rear.
Is it the Dana 30?
Secondly, TJ's front differentials spin all the time. I'm thinking this
will not work well with a limited slip or automatic locker (On road
handling) , so ARB is about the only choice?
Thanks
Andy

Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
Yes, you have a D30 in the front.
Although the diff is free to spin all the time, it isn't a problem with
limited slip or automatic lockers as the propshaft can rotate freely.

Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
Hi Andy,
I use spools, and they are right next impossible to turn with
traction. So, if the limited slip is any good at all, it will IMHO over
power any power steering on the street. A locker will release one side
so you'll be able to turn, but I imagine tricky, as they like to have
their driver's do pirouettes. Warn make free wheel hubs for your TJ
until you can get the Real thing:
