AIR LOCKER or WINCH
 

well the buildup continues, next step either a lekky winch or rear air locker. here the theory.

which order and which is better investment.
1. winch i can recover myself, i can go hard with open diffs and if i get into trouble i can recover, wont get as far as with locker but i have recovery ability.
2. rear locker, i buy that, go further and harder than mates and get stuck, no lekky winch, just turfa and they cant recover me cause they cant get there, im in the proverbial. hmmm. so what to do.

which one is the first investment, or the better. :confused:

...ok I agree with Wooders assuming LSD has some life left then do front locker first then rear then electric winch... unless you do lots of muds and then perhaps winch is first choice???

I got my winch first and am still arranging lockers now two years later - if I did it again I would do lockers first

AIR LOCKER or WINCH
 

Think there are two topics here...

Winch - Leky or Hydraulic (The answer is of course Hydraulic). 3 words: Continuous Duty Cycle - and dont give me that dont work if ya stall BS!! Neither will a Lecky with 1 battery!! And explain how ya stall an Auto with a snorkel!

Then Winch vs Locker

Open diffs are going to guarentee you get stuck. I'd agree with front locker, but think your LSD is wearing out, so rear will be the choice.

You've always got a hand winch too. That Jeep is going to be unstoppable once it gets some lockers.... its crying out man.... dont be mean to it. [img]smile.gif[/img]

BTW whats the setup with centre diff locks in these Jeeps? Are they full time with a centre lock or not, or part time (thereby locked when in 4wd?)

Quote "Your jeep is going to be unstoppable when you get lockers".............mmmm.....sure thing mate.

TJs are part time 4x4s with no hub locks, so the front axels, diff and drive shaft are moving when the vehicle is in 2wd.
