I wanna lock my xj front and rear, i do daily drive it so i need a locker that i can lock and unlock (no spools or welding). I dont know alot about them thats why im askin what should i get? I'm not tryin to spend 900 bucks on a ARB locker, lock right lockers are pretty cheap anybody have experience with those? Whats the best lock for my buck?

 

Lock Right, Aussie, Spartan, all will do what you want for $300 or so per axel.

 

best bang for your buck would be a lunchbox locker like lockright/powertrax ect.

 

If you can afford it, put a selectable up front.

 

Why should i put a selectable locker up front inssted of an auto one?

 

you will never know its there while its off, it will act like an open diff 100% of the time.

unlike a lunchbox

 

Good question.

Having a Selectable allows you to lock and unlock the front axle as needed. This makes steering in tight confines a lot easier, it also makes your 4hi useable in the snow (on road).

 

oh ok that makes sence, so ill save up for a ARB locker up front and just auto lock the rear for now. Another question i have is with these auto lockers is how does it know when to lock and when to unlock?

 

My favorite is Detroit lockers. They free spin while i'm not on the gas but as soon as I hit the gas they lock in.

 

Eaton Elocker FTW.
Simple wire and relay connection, no air compressor needed, no air lines to install, no o-rings in the axle to leak.

You tell the locker (ARB opr Eaton) when yo lock or unlock with the flip of a switch or the push of a button.

 

Thanks for the help guys

 

I drive mine 4 hi (part and full time) in the snow all the time

well, all the time during the winter

 

Most folks don't like the effect.

 

Effects like what? I talked to you frank on naxj about puchashing a no slip.

 

Loss of control in snow. Reason why I run an e locker in the front and Detroit in the back.
