We don't have a hearse. Most of the stiffs ride to town in the ambulance.
We don't even have proper buzzards, just crows. I don't think that Jerry is
going to try Black Bear in two wheel drive any way. ;^)

Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
Hi Gerald,
And was it an EZ Locker, which kind of tells us never to use it
seriously? If it had Real springs holding the cogs together as in
Detroit Locker: http://www.----------.com/DetroitLocker.jpg Also you had
it in a YJ with the passenger axle normally unlocked, I can see many
problems dragging the driveshaft with the one axle. I would guess they
would be dangerous to the inexperienced.
God Bless America, ßill O|||||||O
