Re: 2001 TJ Front Differential
Something isn't making any sense at all here because running a front
automatic locker in the front of a TJ is very common and it's well known among us TJ owners that have a front locker that it is not a problem or even noticeable in 2wd. It's done way too often and widely known among TJ owners with front lockers that it is NOT a problem running a front locker. This is another case of first-hand experience from an owner that has a front locker that wheels with wheelers who ALL run front lockers vs. one who is reporting second-hand annecdotal experience if you ask me.
