Re: Which Brand of Auto Lokker

I'm running a Detroit Softlocker (nice and quiet) in my Cherokee with 35's. Works great and good on the road as well.

No Australian delivered TJ came with the D35 they were all D44 so you may as well take the D35 for the TJ off the list.

Biggers tires usually cost more money... Or tires to fit on a bigger rim as well...

Re: Panhard issues - need some advice!

Rather than moving the mounts backwards or forwards can you just cut and rotate them so the openings point to each other and keep the current panhard, probably cheaper in the long run if you need to get another made if it is just straight.

I run a bear claw latch, been on there for a couple of years now and I've just given it a squirt of inox every now and then to keep it working smooth.

Easily opened with one hand, double catch (same as a car door) and slam shut as well. I wouldn't use any other type.

Should fit or be easily made to fit but couldn't say 100% it is all the same under there and it probably doesn't mount to the bumper as such anyway as it's just thin tin.

The bumpers are a slightly different shape but the mounting is the same, how does the one you're talking about mount. The only factory ones I can think of mount on the body not on the bumper.

Yep, low oil level will do it for sure, normally noticeable on down hills before uphills though. If it happens on up hills I guess it's lower still!!!

I run a T-Max 8500lb on my XJ, it's the same motor as the 9000 and 10000 but taller gearing for a faster pull but less load. If it isn't enough just run a pulley to half the speed and double the pulling power.
