I have a 1989 dana 35 with welded spiders! I am looking put in a factory trac loc. what years/models do i need to search the junk yards for? I was told TJ axles might have what i need too? Please help.

Any D35 from TJ,XJ,ZJ or WJ from the mid 80's forward. Trick is going to be finding a trac-loc diff. You Need the whole carrier. might be easier and better to just get a Lunchbox locker.

If the spiders gears were welded to the existing carrier, and they most likely are, then you will need a new carrier to even do the lunchbox locker. By the time you spend the money on a new carrier and locker, you could go ahead and upgrade to a 29 spline 8.25 and install an Aussie locker.

No.. not any D-35 will work..

Do you have C-clips or no inside your carrier??? 89 was the change over year.. so you may have either. But a Non-C Trac-Loc and C-clip Trac Loc carry different part numbers.

That is what is was worried about. The Reason the kid gave me for changing the axle was because the 89 was non-c clip. I will look before i buy but I am guessing it is non c-clip.

Where are you located? I have a non c-clip D35 under my 87 parts rig at the low low cost of come pick it up.

We live in Seattle, but we have family your area if you are talking about just the trac loc and carrier i need. That would be great

I was talking about the whole shebang, but it is an open diff.

The trac-loc is a carrier.. It replaces the entire carrier.



On the left is an open carrier.. on the right is a Trac-Loc carrier.
