Re: A question about rim size...
 

Mike
I don`t think I have locker or limited slip, the guy I bought it from
didn`t mention. After it stops raining I`ll crawl underneath and take some
pictures...I just purchased the YJ......has rebuilt (Jasper or rebuilt by
Jasper) 6cyl, auto transmission (new seals+new torque converter) a Rubicon
5" lift and them big tires...he also claims new brakes last year, but the
rear left drum locks up at crawl speed if I brake too hard...the emergency
brake doesn`t work (maybe that`s the reason the rear drum locks once in a
while) needs the cables which are in the mail, and a muffler and tail
pipe...also in the mail. I live in N.J. and the YJ will be a pavement
pounder...not much oportunity to go off road. Jeep runs/handles good, at
60mph the rpm`s are a little over 2000rpm`s.
Thanks for your help

Re: A question about rim size...
 

Boris, To determine if you have a locker or limited slip you will need to
jack up both rear wheels off the ground and spin one by hand.

If you have some type of locker they will both rotate in the SAME direction.
If you have an open differential (no locker or limited slip) they will
rotate in opposite directions.

As Mike started to mention... If you have a locker or limited slip you will
need both tires to be the same size or the locker will see the tire size
difference as slippage and lock the axle. A locked axle on pavement will
cause tire or drivetrain damage if you are lucky. If you are unlucky ......
worse things can happen
