Plan A was selectable lockers front and rear. This might have been the summer for it but I need to get some transmission work done at some point and that's going to eat up most of the Jeep funds, plus it's just not the time because of current events. Plan B has always been something like adding a lunchbox or LSD in the front. Right now there is a Trackloc in the rear.
The 2 choices I've considered for the D30 in the front are:
1. A Powertrax No-Slip, that version of their lunchbox locker is supposed to be a little more street friendly than some of the other options, but aside from that it seems like there are a few other good options in the lunchbox department.
2. A Detroit Trutrac limited slip.
Price is close enough to not be a deciding factor. I've been leaning toward the lunchbox side but options are good to have.
It sounds like because of the 3.73 gearing the ring gear needs to come out either way for the cross shaft to clear. I think the lunchbox I could easily do in the driveway, it sounds like the LSD requires some gear setup that I would have someone else do or at least assist with.
So the real question is if I lock the front what else do I need to do to avoid breaking something. I'm assuming upgraded axle shafts. Anything else that I should plan for at the same time?
If anything, I'll probably just rebuild the Trackloc in the rear 44 at some point or replace it with a TruTrac, but that's another project.
