My Xj has 27k on a lock rite locker in my Dana 35 no issues what so ever daily driver all year round , stupid stuff on the trails best thing I've done along with 33" general mt tires
This can be a problem with any diff with this type of locker, even if you re-use the original spider gear shims, you may need a set of new shims. When I replaced my carrier on my junkyard C8.25 for my XJ with a 29 spline carrier, that was one thing I made sure to check. I ended up using the thicker shims in the pack just to make sure the spider gears didn't get gnarly like his... Too much clearance + big tires + 'just keep sending it until it hooks up'... By the look of it, the next failure will be the axles.
Nice video, thanks for posting. I am considering one for the front end of my sons YJ. Reading mixed reports installing one in the rear, especially for a daily driver. How has this performed on the street? Thanks
I did a powertrax no slip in my ZJ rear dana 35 and love it. it works the same way as other lunchbox style lockers but it's completely silent, no clicking.
@@dad3562 yes, and if you are staying with the dana 35 you can get a Detroit locker and shafts that have 30 splines for extra beef. I think it's called a super 35 kit. lots of people say it's a waste to spend that kind of money on a dana 35 over an 8.8 swap but one advantage the dana 35 has is excellent ground clearance.
Hi, I have a question, please help me. I have a 98 Cherokee with a Spartan in the back, the clearance is 0.133, I think it's within specifications. I used Valvoline Synpower synthetic 75w140 oil. Now, what I don't know is that it's normal that when turning, for example in a parking lot or any other turn, it makes a lot of noise and sometimes when I start straight, is this normal or what do I need to do? Please, thank you.
I haven't watched a video yet that shows a complete account of removing all of the plants on camera everyone skips the clip removal and install I guess everyone "loses" their camera holder

Man I was so upset for you when you said the spacer wasn’t installed. You definitely have a lot of patience. Thank you for the video great advice

Great job. I am considering some sort of locker on my WJ. This was very helpful!
Your a braver man the me working over the drain like that, I would have dropped at least half of the fasteners in the drain
I put paper towel down over the drain! Got lucky for the first couple minutes then realized I was tempting fate. Haha
I have my tj 97 with 35" its the second time with the same problem.
I want try this locker thank you my friend
Fixing a wj rear end myself glad u posted this 😅
Around 8:15 you can see a chip outta the ring gear. How's it doing now? They can take a lot b4 breaking.
@@ohane1 Over 2 years later and still going strong. 💪🏼

Honestly I did it for a friend. This is not a daily driver vehicle but more of a toy for him. I’m honestly not sure.

A Detroit auto locker would be awesome in a YJ in the rear.

@@JGLEZ69 Yes unfortunately that is normal for this type of locking differential.
Thanks for your reply.
Will changing to thicker oil help? Or will it be bad?
@ Not in my experience.
Thanks
The spider gear damage did not send shrapnel through the differential bearings? R&P no gear damage?
No other damage was found thankfully! Over 10k miles and no issues.
Vsauce for jeeps!
Great video
Did you ever post the video of the locker in action?
No unfortunately we haven’t been wheeling together since we got him hooked up. Different schedules right now.
If you had checked the spacing at the pin you would have caught that, been there and done that...

Yes it did
You think that's brave? I put an LSD on with a 3.07 gear with a 265 track tire putting 600hp on mine. She held up for a year now lol.
Spartan locker much easier it seems.
Still holding up? I have an 05 tj with the Dana 35 and 32 inch tires, do you think the Dana 35 would hold up? 🤔
So far he loves it. Running 35s. No issues.
@@turbostoybox2182 Thanks!
I’m in a 05 TJ with Dana M35 chromoly shafts and I got 33s and a LSD and it had held up really good
@@jeremyfufushnick2965 LSD is not the same
@@turbostoybox2182stock shafts?
Spinning one wheel excessively is what causes spider gears to fail, Not manufacturing defect,
just why in the hell didn't you wait untill you had a camera stand beforyou did this ?learned nothing
Why bother to show an install with one hand !!?? This is useless
