Default which selctable lockers to buy please

Hi guys

I bought and shipped USA Standard Gears 4.56 and installed them today on my 1994 XJ country automatic.

My next purchase will be selectable lockers, i read a lot about ARB and Eaton and saw many reviews and videos comparison but i want to have a better idea from XJ owners who installed both of those lockers. Which on is perfect for the XJ (dana 30 and chrysler 8.25 / 27 spline) and what are the pro and cons please.

Thank you
Tony

Many will say a con is locking the rear with the 27 spline, and the front with the smaller u-joints. Have you upgraded the shafts in those yet?

Also, unless you are doing the gears yourself, you just ended up having to pay for gear setup twice, not waiting on the new lockers to re-do the gears all in one go.

you're right, but shipping to Beirut is expensive, changing gears is not at all, but whats done is done now i have to follow up on locking the jeep before heavy snow arrive

Default 4 point injectors

Hey all,
I'm new to the forum so I apologize in advance for asking a question that's likely been addressed a million times over. I am looking to do the 4 point injector swap on my 98'. Any recommendations as to where to buy/who to buy from ? I've been a bit skeptical w/ ebay (i.e. who to buy from/ proper application for my year, etc.) Thanks

1998 xj classic 4.0 liter 4x4
