Default Best Front Locker for 97 XJ Police Interceptor

Howdy Folks,

I am curious what are some good electric lockers for my Dana 30 on my 97 XJ Police Interceptor.

I have a Trac-Lok in my Dana 35, that I will have to have the clutch pack replaced.

This is my daily driver, but I do wheel it. I have the Select-Track T/C.

After researching most all the units I decided to use the ARB Air Locker in my Dana 30.

Mind me asking what makes you dead set on a selectable locker vs auto locker?

A detroit will run you about the same money, be just as strong, and there are none of those pesky air/electric lines to get caught up on. They are simple as sin.

Hi All,

I have the floor shifter. I would like the option to turn it on and off.

I think the area you should be concerned with if you're going to be doing that much wheeling is that crappy rear axle you have. Swap that out before committing any lockers to it.

The best electric ones are eaton e lockers.A air locker like arb is good but you have to buy a compressor for it.

you can get a Yukon zip air locker for less (about 675) and then get a HD air compressor (that you should have on any off road setup rig, some form of air psi), and be Much stronger then any elect locker and not have to ever deal with Eaton when the elect locker doesnt lock or unlock anymore...
