I know I know it's been asked 1,000,000 times but I can't find it (search sucks) anyway I'm ready to pull the trigger on a rear locker, can someone please point me at a cheap rear locker, the Jeep is road driven sometimes (a lot in winter) and I wan't it to be street-able as well.

Thanks!

 

what rear axle??

 

What axle you have will determine what's available. I like lunchbox lockers for the price, Aussies and Spartans but have broken lockrights and don't care for them, but in wet and snowy weather they can be a little tricky if you aren't used to them. Guessing it's for the 98 and if it has a 8.25 you only have one option for lunchbox lockers and it's the lockright. The others only make them for the 27 spline versions. If you have a D35 save your money and get a different axle and lock it.

 

DURP it's a 8.25 my bad \

EDIT: '98 8.25's are 29 spline correct?

 

I take back what I said you can get a Spartan for a 29 spline 8.25. Complete Offroad has them. I run one in the front of mine and love it.

 

i got a spartan im putting in right now but i cant get the second c clip in its a real *****! if ya have the coin get a powertrax no slip there the best lunchbox i have a aussie in the front

 

Spartans! in both front and rear. The c clip install on the 8.25 is a little tricky, but you can figure it out. i love the clicking sound going through the parking lot.

 

aussie is for 29 spline as well

 

aussies have been sold out for over a year now dunno if they will ever do another production run of them

 

considering the new powertrax No-slip by Richmond gear. Pretty $weet lookin, anybody ever run one?

 

I have been very happy with my Lock Rite locker. It's not that noisy and it sure helps off road and on.

 

yea Im running one and really like it. its great on the road and off.
no ratcheting or other noise. I was a little afraid to put it in my self at the time but it wasnt too hard to install. just make sure you grind down the
C clip a little bit so it goes in and out freely.

I would go with the power trax. you wont be disipointed.

 

Just pulled the trigger on one, wasn't cheap so I better like it!

I went wheelin' last nite and just couldn't stand having an open rear diff, my Chevy came with a factory locker that actually works quite well and I got spoiled.

 

Agreed, I love mine. A really tiny powerful magnet is helpful for the C-clips as well.
