Spider gears

Flex:
So I finally got my jeep in the garage today, to take a look at what was the problem in the front end, well spider gears are toast, I'm think Aussie with a promise to myself to take it easy. Let me know what u think. No one say the words selectable locker. I'm not dropping a grand in something that's gonna blow up eventually. Also anyone with input on driving around with an Aussie up front give me an idea of what to expect.

I have only wheeled with my D30 Aussie once, but here is what I noticed:

1.  The YJ will now climb straight up a wall  ;D
2.  The turning radius is increased.  As I got used to the feel, this was less of an issue, but the first couple turns were a learning experience.
3.  In 2wd I don't even know it is there.
4.  Easy to install, but it does require pulling the carrier, unlike the 8.8.


Are you running Chromo shafts?
With the front locker, you will use less throttle, since the Jeep will climb better.  Less throttle should mean less breakage.

Flex:
Not running chromo shafts however i do carry an extra set. I just ordered the Aussie i really think its the right decision, its gonna take a slight change in driving style but i dont think that will be an issue. Thanks for all the input guys cant wait to see ya out on the trail.

BlacXJeep:
Sweet man glad to hear that's all it was, and that you will be back on the trail soon.
