Lockers

[homeboundcat]

I have a 1991 yj with 4banger and a posi lok cable. Was wondering if anyone has any opinions on locker options for front and rear. Only running 31 's but do a far bit of mud riding

What's your budget? Wouldn't put a pricy locker in your Dana 35 . You keep your Dana 35 put a cheap lunchbox in it or upgrade to a 8.8 rear. I run a Spartan lunchbox in my front and rebuilt My LSD in my rear witch functions almost the same as alocker. This is a budget type of way to lock up front and rear. The best lockers out there i believe is a arb air locker or Eaton e lockers. They are pricy and wouldn't invest in a locker like those with stock axles. So it's about how much you want to spend

My rear is a 8.8

Was leaning towards doing a spartan front and rear. Only on 31's and no rock crawling.

You had good luck out spartan? Your 8.8 swap did you have to do a 2 inch lift also to keep bind out of drivetrain. Seen people talking about the 8.8 having a longer pinion length than dana

I use to run a asuie up front and ended up braking one of the pins I choose Spartan because of the larger titanium pins. The Spartan is quiet and hands down my favorite lunchbox ausie is good too but I beat my Jeep pretty good and bigger pins makes me feel like it will hold together longer had the Spartan up Front for alittle over a year no issues. IM not sure about the 8.8 binding because when I swapped mine in I had about 10" of lift. you could always put in a Shorty sye that might fix that issue. Not sure if you have ever drove with a lunchbox in your rear axle it takes alittle getting use to.

Yeah it was fun. Downsized. New baby and wife didn't feel as safe in the cj. Maybe one day my yj will grow up too.

I can relate when my wife was pregnant I sold my street bike and dirt bike to by a none stock Jeep yj ( to save gas lol). after the first time I took it hunting and messed around in a few small,mud holes I began modifying it. a few years my Jeep is barley street legal haha. Know I got six of my Buddys to catch the Jeep bug and we just started a club
