    Does anyone actually run a lunch box in the front here, on the club?
    I have a lunchbox locker in the front of mine, wouldn't do it on a TJ. An auto locker like an aussie or full detroit is the way to go. You won't even know it's there until you put it in 4wd. It will make a huge difference off-roading and you will probably break a rear 35 shaft before you break a front shaft anyway.

    Thats what the Jeepforum guys were saying about the aussie.

    And the shaft I did break... Was in the front...

    An aussie locker is a lunchbox locker.

    C.J. has an aussie in the front on his cj5, I don't think he's had any trouble with it. I had a powertrax in the rear of my 8.8 which worked well until I got 38's.

    Everyone will tell you to go with different setups but you're the one dropping the cash so you have to make the final decision. Full detroits are nice but expensive, if you have the money and don't plan on swapping axles then go for it. An aussie, ez locker, powertrax, or other lunchbox would work great with your setup and not break the bank but that's just my opinion.

    I didn't think you wanted a lunchbox locker in the front of a TJ because it locks regardless if power is applied or not and since you don't have lockouts it will lock the front two wheels together making steering chitty around town. I wheel a drop in in the front, but I have lockouts. I thought an aussie was like a full case detroit, I guess I don't know what an aussie locker is.

    OK, I went and looked. I wouldn't run an aussie locker = ez locker/powertrax/drop in locker. I wouldn't run this in the front of a TJ, but that is just me. I don't think it locks/unlocks smooth enough to run it on the street, but Creighton says he ran one. Lissa had a full case detroit in the front of her TJ, and I say that is the way to go. It was completely undetectable since you have to apply power to it it make it lock up, so 2WD was fine.

    If you broke a front shaft with 33" tires unlocked you were doing something really dumb. You've found the right place!!

    Ryan, you are wrong

    Jimmy, I think you are misunderstanding. The aussie locker is a lunchbox locker. It works just like a full case detroit except it is alot cheaper/ easier to install. You will not notice it in 2wd. I drove mine on the highway and around town for almost 30,000 miles with the aussie locker and it never gave me any problems.

    I would recommend the Aussie locker for the front. The difference it makes is incredible. I have only broken the pins in the locker once and that was after this last trip to clayton and I think I snapped 2 or 3 shafts.

    PM if you have any questions about your Jeep I will tell you what I have done to mine and how it affected the road handling.

    My Jeep actually drove down the highway very well up until it decided to **** the transfer case.

    Just curious, why wouldn't you get a cheap locker and some lockout Warn hubs? That's what I did on 8runner & it worked great - allowed me to 3 wheel when I broke something too.
    Thanks,

    with a locker. the front driveshaft will always spin. might cause vibrations.
