Don't forget a flash light good work gloves (always protect your hands) and Duct tape 2 ROLLS OF DUCT TAPE!!! you would be amazed.. what you can drive home on mended with vice grips and duct tape.

As for lockers, if you have a vac disconnect D30 up front do a Posi locker conversion and weld the spider gears (assuming you have a welder) that's not only really cheap but will hold you over till you can buy an Aussie or other locker

 

It is better, LSD is the lowest form of traction controll, next to open dif. The locker is the next best followed by no diff at all. What a locker does is once one wheel starts to slip, power is then provided to both wheels. This is like LSD, but with a locker there is more power to the wheels. Go to youtube and enter locking differential and a vid should come up showin an easton locker or something of the sort. It shows how everything works.

 

It is different, then an LSD, because an LSD uses a series of clutch discs and friction, to engage both wheels...which is why they burn out & start to run like crap, after alot of hard use.
Lunchbox lockers have 2 locking mechanisms that lock together when torque is applied, and then unlock when the torque is released. So when in 2WD, it will have no adverse effects, since no torque is being applied to the front wheels.
How a lunch box locker works...
^Follow the link for info on how a lunchbox works, it'll explain it better than I can.

 

Thanks a ton for the help so far guys!
Paycheck comes next week with a shi* ton of overtime tacked onto it. Hopefully we'll get it started from here. Even stock I enjoy driving the Cherokee more then my old mustang.
Thanks for the help!

 

No probs EMAW ...thats what we're here for.

 

Sincere thanks for all of the info.

 

i read the link. but it says its not reccomended for rigs running bigger tires because of the stress the tires will make. so the average guy running x amount of lift and 33's cant use these lockers?
