Here we are just a mere 10 days from the WFTW event. I worked a bit of overtime and will be picking up a LockRite for the Dana 30 front in the Cherokee. Mark Claus suggested it and said I will probably barely notice it on the street....we shall soon see. Install either Friday afternoon or Saturday morning. A PosiTrac rear will be the next upgrade but after WFTW.

You shouldn't notice it at all, until you lock it into 4wd. If you do there is a problem.

I've been running one in the front for 11 years.. Can't tell it's there unless you are in 4wd.

yeah I appreciate that. Mark already told me it would not be too noticeable and I trust him and all you guys. The welded rear is a real pain in parking lots mostly......the convenience store I buy my afternoon beverage from after work has a tight lot and I chirp the rear tires when leaving. Just a minor distraction.....

I installed an Aussie in the rear of my 98 cherokee. Loved it. And the clicking when making tight turns didn't really bother me since I knew what was going on and how it was working. Just letting you know that that is an option unless you just want a full posi rear carrier.

Thanks Jeff. I used to run Lockrites in front and rear in the original Blue Angel YJ. Mark's reasoning is that using the posi rear, may help reduce axle breakage concerns with the C-8.25 And it will remain pretty streetable.

I loved my Aussie in mine. Had perfect tolerances when I installed it, and I just talked to the guy I sold it to today. Said its going good as a daily driver. I think I installed it last October.

I want to put another Aussie or lock rite in my 10 bolt front on my yj, just hoping that with a locked rear I don't have any turning issues on full size axles and 37s.

I agree with Mark. Especily for stock axles.

Got the lock right installed today. been a while since I had done one. Pulled the carrier and installed it out of the rig. Shannon Brookshire came by and kept me company....just like old times.

BTW....the locker was $249.99 plus tax at 4WheelParts. A tube of RTV sealant and some gear oil and we are good to go.

Sweet! My Cherokee did awesome this weekend. We went up everything we came to and never spinned a tire.
