I just bought spartan lockers for front and rear from Jeepersden in florida.

$536.00 for front and rear lockers. Installed both in one day.

There is a bunch right now in the for sale section. If they would have been there when I was looking I would have snagged them up.

There is one guy with an air locker $450 shipped but many selling lunchbox lockers like spartan, powertrax, etc...

 

....weld it...thats free...

 

["UsmclovesXJ"]....weld it...thats free... Read previous posts

 

^ Mines a dd as well mate with a welded 8.25 and it works great. Just cornering at low speeds makes the tires bark. Tire ware is the same.

 

Summit Racing says the PowerTrax No-Slip ships Monday 2-13-12. I've installed 4 of them including in the back of the XJ....very satisfied.

 

I did the complete opposite, aussie upfront, Arb in the rear, 2wd you dont notice that I have lockers

 

Ive heard alot of guys complain about the detroits or spartans and lockers of that type that they still squeel the wheels around turns by locking up.
I definately dont want that any more. I had a full spool in my 04 TJ rock crawler, and it drove me crazy. My XJ is also my DD so I need something that I can hopefully do myself without setting the pinion backlash and not have it squeeling around corners.

Any suggestions?

 

If u don't want a locker that will chirp or click. Spend more money!!!!!! U can't go cheap and expect a lot

 

Have u looked into/read info about the PowerTrax No-Slip? No ratcheting/clicking in turns....almost as invisible as as a lsd....2-3 hour install ....no messy with ring/pinion set-up (no special tools).

 

Dont mind the clicking or ratcheting sound at all, I just dont want to be squeeling my tires every time I pull out of my driveway or into a parking lot.

 

Powertrax no slip. Do it and don't look back... Unless your staring at the fresh dual tire tracks you just laid down.

 

Then buy a selectable

 

I just bought a spartan locker for the front on ebay for $250, thats the cheapest Ive seen. Im planning on putting it in tomorow so cant say how good it is

 

I've ran a lot of lockers in the rear over the years and while you can squeal the tires going around a corner, if you can drive you don't have to squeal the tires in corners, with a properly working auto locker.
I have a Detroit in my XJ and I haven't broke lose a tire on pavement yet.

 

There's the reason for tire squeel.
