What do you plan on doing to it

ae86silverred

I'll take it off road every once in a while .. I want it for work I have a different project I work on ..so not trying to do anything crazy.. But I do have a question do I need to put lockers on the front ? Think that's what u call them .. Any ways I was trying to go thou a dich side ways and one of my front tires was spinning and wasn't able to get to the other side .. That's why I ask..

Oh yeah they are lockers I don't know what they exactly I'm a noob to Jeep stuff as well

A locking differential is what you'll want, not locking hubs, a locking differential like an arb, Detroit, ox, lock right and many other brands will lock both tires on the same axle to give you way more traction than an open (what you have now) differential. There are two main different kinds of locking differentials automatic and selectable. A locking differential allows each wheel to spin like an open differential when not locked (like when you're driving on the street), if you don't plan to use it on the street you could weld the spider gears together to permanently lock the axle but steering will be greatly affected.

I am running an Aussie Locker in my front, I love it. No driving issues unless in 4WD. then I notice a little resistance, but not much. My locker has made a HUGE difference, more than tires.

@ barker cypress & 529, always willing to help on any Jeep, some brew-ha or bbq would be a good incentive, definitley prefer creekside edge over spring creek (rip), down south, & general sams.

running an aussie in the rear (auto lunchbox locker), haven't really tested it, but just on some easy stuff i can already tell the difference lock 'r' up!

yall wanna convoy to g-town on the national topless day in may?

Im down to go but I have to fix my wrecked jeep first

A convoy sounds like a great idea. Since we are supposed to be down there at 9am, do yall wanna meet early that morn, or the evening before??

I was going to go down that morning. Where would be a good place to meet? Im thinking somewhere near 45 South Kind of near 610 or the beltway. or somewhere near hobby.

if the weather is good, i'd be down for meetin up & convoying down the day before, campin out on the beach (maybe some fishin, bbq & brew..?) that way we are there in the morn? (since i'm not much of a mornin person , & to get there at 9 i'd have to wake up @7 lol)

Cherrybomb
