So, I've been doing tons of research since I'm in the market for front and rear lockers. I was going to get Aussie lockers but the more I read about auto lockers like the Aussie locker the more I think that might not be a good idea for a daily driver. I say that because I've heard they are loud, make turning more difficult, etc.

The Jeep in question is my 2001 Cherokee Limited. It has a 4.5" RE short arm lift, 31" tires, and it will soon have 4.10 gears.

It's a daily driver that sees occasional LIGHT off-roading. By 'light', I mean some trails, snow, being driven on the beach, etc. It doesn't see any sort of rock crawling or intense flexing so that's not an issue.

Lockers in general might be overkill for me to be honest, however, I have the money, I'm already putting in new gears, so I figured what the hell, might as well have them because I'm sure that having them will make me want to do more fun stuff.

All of this being said, I'm looking for a daily driver friendly locker setup. I'm not sure if I can get away with something like Aussie lockers on a street driven car but I don't want to chance it. I was starting to think maybe some sort of selectable locker such as an electric locker would work better so then I can turn it on and off when I need it.

Anyways, I'm open to suggestions. I'm using the stock axles (Dana 30 and Dana 35) as well.

The other possibility I thought of was an Aussie Locker in the front (since it would never really be working unless 4WD was engaged, right?) and an electric locker (i.e. Eaton) in the rear.

Detroit Lockers, quality lockers are they aren't noticed in DD till you need them and I never know they are in there.

I have no regrets for going that route.

If you can afford it do a selectable front and rear. Especially if you ever see snow.

Don't waste your money on that dana 35! Swap it out for a 29 spline 8.25.

I am going to get a 8.25 for the rear and spend the money on that axle instead.
