Yes, you can get a track lock. But if you are used to driving in 2WD in snow don't worry about it. I grew up using 4WD in snow because where I lived we needed it. We couldn't even get a snow day at school until we got at least three feet out one storm.
i mean yeah i normally run 2wd but i have used 4wd sometimes. youve kinda made it hard to decide as well lol. i know you didnt mean to just alot of stuff to think about .
It is ultimately your choice and will be dictated by your intended use and driving style. On the other hand, I can point to many XJ owners who did just what you were going to do.
i will be takeing it more to an offroad use only rig but i still want it to be pa inspected and all so i can still drive it on road. know anyone from pa that would be able to weigh in with some area specific info or help?
Yes, on another forum
lol. it just seems like so many options. and everyones way is right. i might just spartan lock it front and rear and if i blow up the front then i can just upgrade it then. or would it still be better to lsd the rear?
Well, for trail use lock both ends. The only issue I was raising is snow. Now I can tell you that a rear locker doesn't like snow. Traction is pretty crappy that way. But if you are looking at a trail rig and summer driving, locking both ends is the way to go
right but with an auto locker that would only be if it locks up. or i still may run a select-able in the rear which would make that a moot point
An auto locker works by grabbing one or both axles depending on how much traction the wheels get. A selectable in the rear I think is the way to go for you. You will have the best of both. I have auto lockers now, but when I change axles I have two ARBs waiting to go in
ok i can get one with lsd and 3.55 for 150 off cl around me. and regear it for now and save up for a select-able. is 150$ a good price?
Yes, go for it
ok. that sounds like a good plan. thanks for helping me think through my options
Good luck
