It's ok to ask... no worries... Honestly I think that If you are occasionally wheeling and not to hard core I would look into a really good limited slip. I went the locker route because a). I needed a new diff since the original one got smoked when i sank my jeep and this was available and cheap and b). I wheel my about three times a week and got tired of having to really rev mine to get the limited slip to work the way I wanted. You will have to learn how to drive a different way because of the locker so keep that in mind. Once you are used to it it's nothing though. Hope this helps.
What's involved in changing it over to limited slip?

If this is what you are talking about, good grief that is a high priced part. Mine will stay like it is for a long time!

But I only paid $3000 for the Jeep so it was kind of hard to pass up.
This forum is a lot of help though. I am learning a lot.

Yep. I am new. I wish I would have researched a little more about the different axles that Jeep put on their vehicles. I would not have gotten one with a Dana 35.
