Here's the deal folks...
I have a 99 XJ with No-slip in the rear and 3" lift. I'm going to be taking the front cover off to change the gear oil and seal it back up and I got to thinking I might put a locker in the front too. I have a few questions/comments/concerns and I'd like some feedback as to what I should do.
1)This vehicle is driven 50/50 hwy (to and from the trails, or pulling my ATV/Rhino to our camps) so it isn't a dedicated wheeler. Recently I put 4K miles on it while my car was being repaired.
2)My GF drives in the woods a lot and I don't want the steering to be to heavy for her to drive it in the woods. She won't mind to back up for sharp turns, but if it will be difficult for her to go in any direction other than straight, I should probably pass.
3)If the weather call for snow, I drive my XJ and it has been great in helping me get where I need to go even in 6-10" snow. I just don't want to make it where it is nearly impossible to operate on the pavement in the snow.
Based on the above information, what is my best choice: locker or open? If you have any questions or comments, I'd love to hear them!
Thanks!
