hmmm I was told I would only have a restricted turning radius, not no turning radius.
I don't want to lock the 35, so I was really hoping an aussie would work out in the front.
Does anyone actually run a lunch box in the front here, on the club?

There are times that the Detroit hinders progress due to inability to steer, but overall, I can wheel without hydro. Doesn't an Aussie locker still partially disengage when turning? You are making it sound like an Aussie locker is like a welded front. I have had a welded front and I have had a Detroit, and they are nothing alike.
I did once upon a time in the bronco... never noticed a bad turning radius because it broke shafts too fast in the ttb. But I wouldn't worry about loosing some radius on jeep... you shouldn't have any issues in 2wd anyways. i am going full detroit in mine but would do lunch box if i was worried about $
creighton did in his tj, and it had good street manners IIRC
I know they disengage, so I don't think it kills my radius... but I do think it will hurt.
I guess its livable...
It is number two to do on the list I guess. At only 260, I can't complain.
Anybody ever install one before?
ive installed four or five of them. i speak from experience. i have one in an solid axle rig. do what you want.
it won't hurt anything in 2wd. You will learn how to make it work for you in 4wd. It's a locker. It locks under power and unlocks when not under power (more or less). It will improve your jeep's capability more than anything else. Do it!
ah, its in a jeep. i thought we were talking about an f150. do it.
nah. lots of people do it. you're more likely to break a shaft but that's wheeling. you will have a hard time turning sometimes but you'll deal with it. does yours have a two piece shaft up front?... i dont know, one of the former collins boys came chime in and tell you about that.
2 piece up front is a yj thing
I take it pretty easy with my 4 banger... I have only broken one shaft so far.
I am assuming you haven't wheeled with the lot of us, and you haven't wheeled clayton. I would make sure you have spares.
I am sure Creighton would be more than happy to school you on the finer points of 'finessing' obstacles. ;)
dove nose/tail a blazer. yes or no?
