ok, well ive got my taxes done and ive sold a few parts so ive got about 4200.00 to spend on whatever the heck i want

im going to order my hd sye w/driveshaft from tom woods so ive got that covered, now i need a GOOD cheap locker for the front (not worried about the back, its getting full spooled) im thinking somewhere in the 2-400$ range for the front locker, What would you guys recomend? and im looking for a decent company that i can order my gears,locker,spool from that wont try to rip me off
cause i got cash money and jeep fever

btw, the locker is for my ford dana 44 front

well unless somebody has something to say about randy's ring&pinion im calling him for my parts, im still not sure about which front locker but he should be able to educate me on that

LJordan, As far as lockers go, I have had 3 Lockrights and have had good luck, now there is a new copany Aussie Lockers that are the same (lunchbox) to Lockrights but are $199 and the reveiws are good on them.

Now for gears, I ordererd my 4.56's for D30 & D44 R&P only from Gears For Less out of CA for $245, just reused my shims and bearings. Now on the 44 you need a carrier, the break on a 44 is 3.73 and down and 3.92 and up. But I bought my carrier local new for $50. The number for Gears For Less is 1-866-217-0281 and I talked to Dennis I beleive. Randy's is pretty high on his stuff, Also another company I was going with before I used Gears fr less was Reider Racing. They had some pretty decent deals.

wow, that is a hunk of cash you got there! I really like my Powertrax No-Slip locker in my D30. I even got it used, and it works great.

thanks guys, ive been contemplating using a lockright but wasnt for sure, thats probably what ill go with

if i remember right randys has a deal going for front+rear gears with install kits for under 400 but ill check around for decent prices, and i will give gears for less a call first, sounds like they are pretty cheap

That IS a nice hunk of cash.. feel like making a donation to the "I have alot of problems on my Jeep and need alot cash to fix them" fund? lol

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

i gotta keep my butt away from the tittie bars or i aint gonna have any left

so far im rounding up my parts slowly but surely, i decided to buy a parts xj for engine/tranny/t-case and whatever else i would need, I found one that has everything in it and has the laredo package for 500 so i picked it up and is now sitting under the carport waiting to be torn down (i decided to get it cause of the shape its in, it was cheap cause of lost title and wrecked in the rear a bit... and ill have enough parts left over to put my 88 back together and make a little profit)

so far besides the parts xj ive also purchased, 392 and up dana 44 carrier, slickrock yj shackle hangers, flat top dana 44 steering knuckles (one side already milled) set of 4 stock yj springs, and lots more to get

I didnt get anything done today cause I had to fix my 94 xj, the dang oil pressure sending unit decided to spew oil all over the place FOR NO STINKIN REASON!! i hate that, they make the dang things out of plastic and you dont even have to touch them for it to fall apart..
