Default Daily driver front locker?
Thinking about locking front dana 30 on my daily driven weekend warrior 01 xj.
Can I?
And what locker?
Looking to spend $200- $350 for a locker also

A lunchbox locker is your only choice within that price range.

If you are willing to go slightly above your price range, you can get a Detroit TrueTrac. If not, get a lunchbox

Slightly above? The cost of install would take 90% of his budget.

If you have a NP242 then you can no longer use the "Full-Time" option that is designed for any time/anywhere.

Save your money and do it right the first time, you will save a lot of money in the long run when it comes to lockers and gear installs done at the same time.

That's why I was asking about the locker I am about to regear and figure I should install a locker too and save money
