Great video and showcasing the before and after. Contemplating one of these for the front of the Willys and this video is very convincing. Great stuff!
That’s pretty cool I’m surprised how well it’s doing on stock tires if i had the money I would buy a nice 2001 dodge Dakota and turn that into a nice little crawler i want the blue one with silver on the bottom and then some method race wheels in silver
Yeah there will be that ratcheting noise you hear earlier in the video, but many people say it quiets down to a point where you can't hear it anymore during regular driving, my jeep makes enough noises that I don't hear it anyway
I have the same locker in my 96 XJ and really like it. Daily driver and the only time I hear it is in tight turns. I put a thicker diff cover on with heavier gear oil and it is quieter. Dollar for dollar, its the best automatic locker. Don't underestimate a stock XJ with a good traction device.
@@japhethbonnema okay. I have a sas 2011 ford ranger fx4 off road. I only use 4wd for crawling off road. But as far as 2wd? My concern is only when I'm on the pavement doing deep turns if the binding occurs will it throw off my radius?
A lot of reasons, none of which extremely profound... main reason was I wanted to lock my tires as cost effective as possible so I opted to spend on a locker in the front and simply weld the rear. Vehicles farily normally when locked in rear but full time locked in the front makes it near undrivable in anything off road
Great question. I decided to weld the rear diff instead of putting in a locker as this jeep will never be road driven. I decided not to weld the front because it would make the jeep pretty useless in 2wd and would be a pain to turn
