Title: Aussie Locker
Post by: Norm on May 23, 2011, 05:42:56 PM

Fitted one to front axle of XJ along with new ujs, wheel bearings and shims a few weeks back. Only got to try it out in anger Sunday and its totally transformed Jeep. I would think with not having to be going so fast over obstacles it will save wear  on the truck components but I suspect front shafts are more likely to snap or am I wrong ? It was actually better than CJ copy bodied RR  with front and rear arb lockers on the climbs. Use truck for everday to and from work,no major difference apart from slightly heavier steering. So far very impressed. :jump_125:

Can some one move this to good part bad part please,lol. :icon_redface:

Shaft or locker ? Got a modified g-wagon axle for rear but what can be done to beef up front axle ?
