Re: Daily drive lunch box locker

Sounds like a new set of spider gears are in order. I'm not going to put too much into this truck. Thanks for the input!

Re: Daily drive lunch box locker

I would put a clutch type limited slip in it. The 30 spline 8.5” Yukon can be had for just about $300 if you shop around.

I believe everything should have an LSD or traction aid of some type. I run a Powertrax NoSlip in my CJ-5, and for a lunchbox it is surprisingly nice on the street, but they are expensive… I got two for the price of one so both ends of my Jeep are locked for 1/2 price. But I would NOT run a LockRight or a Spartan on the street. They are clunky and ratchety on the asphalt but near seamless off-road.

Re: Daily drive lunch box locker

Had a K20 daily driver with 35's and a locker for 4yrs in all types of weather ( rain,snow and ice ) with no problems. It did make a clicking sound making tight turns, never had any loud clunking or any type of jerking with it.
