Title: 1973 CJ6, powertrax lockright locker in the front axle...
Post by: fha772 on April 17, 2015, 10:41:54 AM

Hi all,

I've got to swap the gears in my new dana 30 front axle, so I was thinking of fitting a locker/lsd while I'm at it.

I'm thinking of fitting a Powertrax Lockright,  has anyone else fitted one in their front axle?

I'm planning to fitting freewheeling hubs too, to make it more civilised on the road.

This is the locker I'm looking at;

Are they ok?

Cheers Frank.

I have a Lokka / Aussie Locker in the front of my TJ, probably the best thing I've done to it.
