I'm building a 92 xj and this video just reaffirmed my thoughts on lockers. They are a definite must have.

Lockers make a huge difference, I need to rebuild the limited slip in the rear of the zj. I’d recommend a selectable locker if you can afford it, I have a lunchbox in the front and has made street driving a little sketch

When you dont have lockers, stack rocks ;)

Had a 97 xj and had 3 96zj and currently 98zj, gotta say zj my fav jeep ever, but all quite capable even in totally stock trim

Current 98zj, 4inch and longarm on 31s not locked articulation keeps all 4 on the ground and judicious use of throttle and air down can be tremendous

No locker No problem, ride your brakes where you have 1 wheel slip. This will help help get you through lack of flex + open diffs!

Don’t let the locker comments get to ya. Great job of drivin without rock bouncing it. Are you havin fun and on the trails is the question???

Thanks, we have a blast!

Nice jeep

Awesome zj just put a lunchbox in the rear of my 98 swapped a 231 and a 44hd axle a few weeks ago. Stock 30 up front (open) im not too worried about it on 31’s tho. Really awesome rig

Nice! The 30 will definitly handle 31's if you want a direct swap that's a little stronger, find a high pinion from an xj and swap that in.

@@jeepsquad1822 yea the 30 up fromt is factory untouched even the cv driveshaft is still in lol. The rear swap was a direct fit (love these things) as well as the 231. The MVF shift linkage is well worth the money too

@@scottmalcum3472 Yeah, I haven’t done much to the 8.8 other than put a truss on it, the factory lsd in it seems to work well.

Not everyone can afford lockers. We do what we can. I just bought a 95 ZJ. Lifting it, and Id like to run 33"'s.

Part 2 please :D

Probably not until the summer, we were having jeep issues the second time we went so not much footage got recorded sadly.

Please purchase a dang locker.

I absolutly agree.

Lock in your axels. Oh you can’t.

What lift is on the zj?

@jeepsquad1822

Жыл бұрын

Probably around 5in, started out as a rough country 4.5in lift, but now has metal cloak springs, and trussed axles that bumped the spring perches up a little. If you want more info let me know!

All that work to the lift, and no lockers. SMH. Couldn't watch.

@@joshmammen4285 limited budget jeep builds are still awesome don't take it personally. I am almost 40 and I don't have lockers in my XJ yet either. If you have the 8.25 axle those things are more expensive than the rest. Keep on jeeping and having fun.
