- My Jeep xj "trail trash" gets a front spartan locker on its dana 30. hands down one of my best recommendations for early upgrades for your jeep.
Locker: www.amazon.com...
best videos showing open vs locked
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!
Love jeep XJ it's too good
How's this for on the freeway?
do a vid on how it steers with locker vs open
You can take off the front (for off road) but I would leave the rear sway bar.
Interesting advice. I've heard a few people say this now in other videos I watched. Might give it a try.
Mine came without a rear sway bar but I have a front one
Awesome!!!
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
Haha maybe someday I can justify buying wheels thats are more expensive than my rig
You can drive it in the highway with no issues?
Impressive
Looks like appleton mn.
Correct sir
So why a front locker before a rear locker???
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
In 2wd, will this front locker have any impact at all(noise etc) or not on the road?
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
@@japhethbonnema OK, thanks for info !
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.
@@zoexj4872 Thanks for You comment!
You won’t hear it at all if you have hubs that are able to be unlocked.
Hi, is this then full time locked?
No. Only when there is power to the wheels, unlocked when coasting or in 2wd
This spartan locker is the same for front and rear ?
No there's a separate part number for each
Subscribed,
Only if you wear your seatbelt though.
Haha ok, name checks out🤣
@@japhethbonnema Hahhah got me hahahahh hahahahhahhha holy crap that was good no joke lol. Awesome video man!
Why front locker first and not rear?
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
