Re: TJ limited slip wear out?
Bill,
Please enlighten the rest of us how a locker contributed to this
particular rollover where a spool would not have. Is it because it was
trying to load/unload as her front end unweighted? Either way, I think
even with a spool, at least from watching that video, her jeep
would've likely bounced a bit and gone over with that particular line;
it was getting awfully tippy... But hey, what do I know? I've only
been to Moab once, and sure as heck didn't try that particular climb
while I was there ;-)
Thanks

Re: TJ limited slip wear out?
The outside wheel on a Detroit Locker releases and then spins
faster so the car may drive around a corner. And that's what we see
here, the rear wheel closest us released when the front right caught,
turning the TJ right and up without any drag what's so ever. Never
happen with a spool.

Re: TJ limited slip wear out?
The outside wheel on a Detroit Locker releases and then spins
faster so the car may drive around a corner. And that's what we see
here, the rear wheel closest us released when the front right caught,
turning the TJ right and up without any drag what's so ever. Never
happen with a spool.

It looked to me like the RR was unlocked, causing the rear to push it to the
right as soon as the front started to slip. TJs have a tendency for the rear
end to steer the front in situations like that, hence the custom 4 links
triangulated at the top of the rear pumpkin. I'd say this was a group
effort!
FWIW, see Kilbys "TJ7" ferature on their website re: this issue.
