Locker install, diy
I am wondering about the difficulty and special tools needed to in stall
your own lockers. I've gotten qoutes in the $250-500 range per axle, add to
that the cost of the locker itself. I have a stock 94 YJ. I really do no
serious wheeling, just tooling around the backwoods south of big bear area,
elevation 4-6000 ft. I also have to contend with snow off and on. tia

Hi Marvin,
Not much is required to install the lunchbox type locker, that
simply replaces your spiders:
http://www.off-road.com/jeep/reviews/powertrax/ that'll work with a four
cylinder. The others require skills that command your $250-500 price
range.

Re: Locker install, diy
I did not have a solid understanding of how my diff worked, I pulled mine
apart, removed the spider gears, installed the lock-right, and was driving
it that evening. Now that I have done it once I could do another one in
around 2 hours start to finish, my first one took most of a saturday. I
would say that if you feel comfortable working on your own stuff, install
your own lunchbox type locker. If you are going to install a carrier type
(arb or detroit) locker pay to have it done.

Re: Locker install, diy
When I did my lockright, I messed up initially and left out a part. Tearing
into it a second time to fix my mistake was even easier. lunchbox lockers
are really easy once you have done it once.
