is it a locker?
 
i have a parts cherokee on the side of my house, i was told the rear axle had a locker but i want to be POSITAVE before i try to swap them. i have the axle off the ground, and wheels off. is there an easy way i can find out if it has a locker? thanks in advance

a very basic way would be to spin both tires and see if they both spin in the same direction. thats a start. the next step would be to pull the cover and see whats there. just snap a pic of whats under the cover and post it up here. we can help you out with IDing the locker if there is one.

If its locked you wont be able to see the spider gears. It'll look something like this:

No factory XJ axle had a locker, the best some of them came with is an limited slip.
