YJ front locker?
 

What would anyone recomend for a front locker for a 95 YJ dana 30, cheap,
I put an Ox in my CJ front end, love it, but daughter can't afford a grand
for that, she has a detroit in the ford 9" rear end by the way.

I would want a selectable in the front, but the only selectables I know of
are Ox and ARB, both $$. Powertrax lockright is a great lunchbox locker, and
cheap, too.

And a very poor choice for a front drive axle. It can only drive both
ties at same speed or drive one wheel coasting the other under little
or no power. It will increase turning radius in 4x4 and it will send a
LOT or torque whip back through steering wheel in tight turns (because
Ujoint are not constant velocity). You want a selectable locker or a
True Trax gear based LSD up there (the True Trax plays well in front
drive axle and Oshkosh snow plow trucks have been using gear based LSD
for about 30 years now and there is nothing light duty about them)

Workable solutions are Warn locking hubs for the front, over a grand I
think, or something like an Ox. If you can psyche yourself into believing
that the permanently locked driver's side hub won't affect anything, you
might try something cheaper.
