We found threads where people were having issues flat towing with front lock-rights... sort of the same reason Adam doesn't like the ratcheting sound of his aussie locker, the lock-right is a more aggressive lunchbox locker that tends to not want to let the wheels slip (hence the loud noises).
Didn't even think about the caster being the issue until that didn't work.... Though it did tow "better", it still would lock up on tighter turns.
The american rebels look good, I was looking for ones with drains so thats why I wasn't going to go with solids. I figured for as few miles as this jeep will get a drain and fill should hopefully last quite some time and keep me cleaner while doing maintenance.
As far as the front locker goes, it's better that it's out anyways, I'd like to have this as a third vehicle for when one of our primaries is down, so that means the possibility of bad weather driving, and that just doesn't sound fun with a locked up front. Maybe someday if I hang on to it, I'll throw an eaton or an arb at it so I can at least control it.
I'm with you Matt I'm dying to get out there but obviously that isn't happening. I've got my eye on an XJ coupe 5 spd which is sweet, I'm thinking I may go that route when the time comes to keep it as close to my XK..

I've been across the road at RC when they first opened it. It was fun but still prefer the original trails.

Damn man looking good!!!!
Ever get that winch working?
Nope I still haven't pulled the bumper to be able to remove the winch.. It's on the long list still, but since I don't wheel alone it hasn't been a huge priority. All the silver/chrome is going to eventually get painted black, so eventually I'll do it. I need to do new unit/wheel bearing first.. thats and the overheating issue are my first priorities.
I like the way she looks with the new rolling parts !!!Originally Posted by hoaxci5
Sounds like some good progress man. Going to get a new winch??
Looks sick man, Ive always loved the XJ.. I really want this XJ coupe it's clean to with lift and tires, 5spd
