Aussie Locker in a front diso!
Mr Rock:
Ok, so after talking to Rodger and Nate, I went on line to research the Aussie and ended up ordering one for my front axle.
You guys talked me into it! (at least that's what I"ll tell the wife when she finds out!)
Now, I just need to find a manual vacuum switch so that I can control the disconnect, anyone have any ideas? I recently ran all new vacuum lines and have not had any problems with the disconnect, so I would like to stay with vacuum vs a cable posi-lock. and i want to be able to disconnect and be in three wheel drive at select times. There is nothing wrong with the switch in my transfer case, but it is spring loaded so will not work as I want it to.
Flex:
Check valvestore.com they should have any kind or valve you could possibly need. i took a look before i posted this and i think if i where doing it i would go with a solenoid operated 1/2" or 1/4" 12V powered valve which they have.
But keep in mind they are little pricey, but maybe you could just wire up what every currently controls the vacuum pressure now to work when u want it to would probably be alot cheaper

Since I ripped all the vacuum lines out (actually a stick did most of the work for me) and I went to solid axles I am looking into a 2wd LO kit for the NP231. Since I have an Aussie in the 8.8, I could roll in 2wd Lo until I hit the hard stuff and then go to 4wd low.
Rock, you may want to look into 95 YJ axle shafts. You have the smaller U-joints and the 95s are the only years that have the larger U-joints and the disco. The difference in U-joint size equates to a 33% increase in strength. The guy that bought my original D30 put an aussie into his 1990 YJ D30 and his first time out he destroyed the whole drivers side of the axle when his U-joint broke and took out the wheel bearing, the upper ball joint and damaged the axle housing. He said he was stuck in some mud and gave it a lot of gas, but he was only running 31s. ::)

Kirk,
I would never use that much skinny petal!!
Did you use the disco axle tube and just blank off the disco?
If I went with solid shafts, what year XJ should I look for?
Nate, Trust me, I tried to rig up the transfer case switch but I haven't been able to find a way to make it work! I'll check out that site though.
Thanks,
