You could, but don't forget to turn it on ;)

Eric, Not sure why you are so against automatic lockers? I have run one - a Powertrax No-Slip - in my TJ for the last 5 years. Yes it gives me a bit of torque steer, which is worse in a short wheelbase vehicle than in a longer one like the MJ. The only time it bothers me is making tight turns on paved surfaces such as a parking lot...some times it doesn't want to disconnect. Other than that I have no complaints. It is absolutely invisible at highway speeds and woks perfectly offroad. The Spartan and the Aussie lockers are both cheaper than the Powertrax and have been getting good reviews from other Jeeprs on the bcjeepclub website. Your other option is to find a complete Ford 8.8 from an explorer, lots of them came with limited slip. They are the same bolt pattern but the spring perches are probably in the wrong place.

I put the same controller and Taurus fan in my 2005 TJ. I bought a used fan at first, but it failed before too long (I like to play in the mud) so I bought one from an online auto parts supplier called Canada Parts Online. The American version is USAutoParts. The new fan came with a lifetime warranty for $180. For the wiring, I did the same as airspeed, except I put a relay in the supply wire from the battery. This did two things for me. 1. it is wired through a switch on the dash so I can turn it off for a deep water crossing and 2. the relay control is wired to a switched power source so the fan shuts off with the ignition.

Have you boys seen the lated version of the Jeep Gladiator prototype? Saw it at the Easter Jeep Safari last April Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found Image Not Found
