I've had lots of XJ's in the past and used them as slightly modified daily drivers. Basically I've thrown BB lifts on them for my hunting excursions in the fall. I've had the chance to buy another XJ that I intend to build for some roading, and I want to start by locking it.
I know there are countless threads on installing various lockers (i.e. air, electric, cable, etc.). I'm looking for some concise info on the pros, cons and application of each type of locker.
I'm also curious about the reason why you shouldn't lock the front if you're using the full time mode on the heep. I don't ever use the FT mode, I'm just curious. (BTW: '89 with 242 xfer case)
I consider myself a total novice when it comes to drive line and suspension work, for what it's worth. I am not at all a novice when it comes to wrenching, its just that 98% of my time is spent on engine or electrical work.
Also, I'm intending to do around a 4.5" lift with 33's. I'd like to re-gear the rear end to get back to the stock ratio eventually.
