Lockers

An automatic locker in the rear is not the devil :D I have several hundred thousand street miles running rear Detroits in many things and wouldnt have it any other way. And selectable in the front to not kill turning radius.

I question anyone that would choose run an auto locker in the front of anything. That is truly terrible.

Don't question tj wisdom... as far as these guys are concerned you run an autolocker in the front rather than the rear.

But why. John Currie runs a Detroit in front and a selectable in the rear in all his builds. It works most excellent. Last time in the trail w my LJ it was lunchbox front and limited slip rear. A front Detroit or lunchbox is just fine up front. I know from experience.

Following along the same lines of agreement, when I am somewhere that needs lockers the one that stays engaged most of the day is the front. It is the rear that I am frequently unlocking when I need the turning ability.

The only perceivable difference in keeping the front locked up is a bit of resistance at the steering wheel. However, since the hydro assist that resistance in the steering wheel is almost non-existent. The Jeep turns wherever the front wheels are pointed, locked or unlocked, as long as the rear axle is free to differentiate. Because that is what differentials do.
