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. |
Re: YJ front locker?
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.

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) ----------------- TheSnoMan.com |

Re: YJ front locker?
And the OP's YJ has an axle disconnect that makes your comments irrelevant.

Typical troll again because when you use the front axle under power it has to have wheels turn at a different speeds in a turn due to physics involved and then there is the fact that Ujoints are not constant velocity in a turn so they complicate this further and the net result is nasty driveline bind and wheels having to skid in a turn and loose traction and reduce truning radius.

Re: Re: YJ front locker?
Sno,
I agree that the lunchbox is a poor choice for a front axle when it comes to the ability to turn the jeep while in 4x4. However, if someone is looking for a cheap way to get locked up in the front, it works great. Sometimes you must compromise to get a trail-capable machine that you can afford.

Re: Re: YJ front locker?
No one answered my question about the front axle disconnect and the YJ's
solid hub. If you put a locker in front, does it free-wheel, or does it continuously crank the drive shaft and front axle? Anyone care to venture whether it affects handling or not?
