Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
So you are saying you live in a paradise? I'm not planning to get manual
hubs any time soon. I'm just toying with the idea of stuffing something
into the front to make it a little better off road. Thanks for your reply.

Get yourself a locker for the front, it is the best traction device you will
find.

Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
Sorry to butt in, if you put a locker in the front, unless you install a
manual hub kit I'd advise you to do an ARB or Electrac which you can
disengage. Having driven only one TJ with a fully locked (Lock-Rite) front
end on the street my experience is limited, but I was not impressed with the
on-road characteristics.

manual hub kit I'd advise you to do an ARB or Electrac which you can
disengage. Having driven only one TJ with a fully locked (Lock-Rite) front
end on the street my experience is limited, but I was not impressed with the
on-road characteristics.

Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
Sorry to butt in, if you put a locker in the front, unless you install a
manual hub kit I'd advise you to do an ARB or Electrac which you can
disengage. Having driven only one TJ with a fully locked (Lock-Rite) front
end on the street my experience is limited, but I was not impressed with the
on-road characteristics.

Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
Any suggestions? If I can't do it I have friends that will help for a few
beers. Leave it open until I press the button (ARB) or Detroit - which
model.
Thanks
