Yes it is bone stock, to the best of my knowledge. I honestly don't know what it would act like if it had a locker.

Just put the axle on jack stands and spin one tire, much easier

No the tire with less resistance is the one that spins and when all tires are off the ground then you eliminate the resistance

Jack up the front, spin one tire, and look to see what direction the other tire is spinning in. Then report back.
On a side note. 1000 post. woot woot.

North or South Korea? Lol

As long as they have a lifetime warranty, I don't think it matters.

My jeep wouldnt start this morning. Turned it over and all it did was one click. Buzzer and typical idiot lights come on(low washer, brake, seat belt). I took out my carpet this weekend and that was the only thing. Ran and started fine saturday, but yesterday it sat because i didnt leave my house. Any ideas?

Its also a nice 23* this morning and yesterday was kinda cold too.

Not getting enough battery power at the starter to move the relay contact over, that's why it's clicking. But the battery on a charger and see what that does, then once it's running make sure the alt is putting out 13-14 volts measure from the battery terminals
