You WANT at least a full Maxi Drive or Jac Mac combo with locker, axles, CV's and flanges. But you can get away nicely with a TrueTrac LSD. I have them front and rear in my RR. A bonus is that it gives you some self centering back on a presumably lifted vehicle. There are many sources for them, Ashcroft beeing one. m016324 08-19-2005, 11:10 AM You WANT at least a full Maxi Drive or Jac Mac combo with locker, axles, CV's and flanges.

There are many sources for them, Ashcroft beeing one. As long as ou aren't running low t case gears or a crawler I think a tru-trac is a good choice if you have an auto. With a tru-trac you have to be able to activate the brake and the throttle at the same time to get it to work pretty difficult with a manual. Also with crawler gears KC constantly broke cvs if you are running regular gears I think you'll be fine. -ben darkstar 08-19-2005, 11:48 AM I found that my truetrac became completely worthless as soon as I went to 35" tires. it worked OK with 32s tobbjo 08-19-2005, 01:21 PM So where is it. Have you sold it yet. (Blatantly fishing after a good deal!) Tobias cbass94 08-19-2005, 02:44 PM Darkstar, I assume you're talking about one in the front also? What did you switch to in it's place? darkstar 08-19-2005, 03:44 PM I'm running ARB front and rear now... all the HD drivetrain stuff and differentials are LONG GONE... I have a set of front axles and CVs (stock) left... all the good shit is gone. sorry UK Tinker 08-20-2005, 12:49 AM wont be using low transfer gears, but may use up to 35 inch tyres eventually.....but i am going to convert to auto. so looks like the tru trak is favourite bigbluerr 08-22-2005, 11:21 AM Tink, whatever you use, you will break it!! UK Tinker 08-23-2005, 05:34 AM nah mate, you know how i drive, nice n slooooooow....unlike you with the size 25 feet and an on/off switch for the accelerator! Muddi Babe 08-23-2005, 05:43 PM Nah - I do the breaking - he does the mending!! :shaking: UK Tinker 08-24-2005, 12:08 AM oi what you doing on here...this site isn`t for sissies who scream when going down little mud decents.... Muddi Babe 08-24-2005, 02:28 AM it wasnt little!!! well it was short but it was steeeeeeeeeeeep! :eek: But which GIRL did the steep bits with water which the BOYS were scared of doing!!?? ME! :flipoff2: which GIRL managed those two hills in first attempt - no problems - whilst someone had to back and forth and rev the nuts off the motor to get up?? ME! :flipoff2: Oh yes! WHOS YA MAMMA!! :laughing: anyway i will stop hijacking this thread now! back to your tech talk!! Bush65 08-24-2005, 02:34 AM MacNamarra would be my 1st choice for a front locker. Maxidrive are better than ARB, except in front because they can be slow to unlock. | |
