Default Do they just make a 27 spline?

ARB may make that. expensive. Aussie? Yukon? ETC..... swap it for the 27 from the JY and you"ll have time to do the lockrite. Ive done my homework. For the price Im getting a lock rite for my front. ARB needs the compressor and all. The whole system is expensive, but posi on demand with an onboard compressor is the thing that makes it stand above the rest. You know, Sand ok let air out. Put it back when you get out. my .02cents. I have a 27 spline I would trade for. its my parts XJ.

If you've got the open dif to start, go with this Powertrax unit- 92-0382-2905

I've used them before and they're great. Very quiet operation but totally locked when you need it.

I dig my Powertrax. They are extremely quiet for a mechanical locker and it engages/disengages very smoothly.

PowerTrax No-Slip, don't leave home without it. Had 4 of them in different vehicles, great unit, easy install.

I don't believe they make a Lock Right locker for the 29 spline 8.25. Aussie lockers are pretty much the same as a lock right and they make a 8.25 29 spline locker that sells for around $300. That is probably going to be your cheapest and easiest way to go. A powertrax locker would do the same thing, but makes less noise and costs about $100 more.
