Front Spartan locker

  • I have a Spartan locker for my front Dana 30 on my XJ, but it's also my daily driver. Should I have any worries if I install it? Or will I just mainly hear the clicking when I turn? (Heard the sound in videos I've research)

    My White 96 XJ is my obsession.<br />My Jeep is a work in process, but doesn&#039;t mean it can&#039;t do what yours does. <br />Don&#039;t Tread On Me!<br />Jeeps don&#039;t get speeding tickets, they get tickets for being Badass!

  • X2. It'll be invisible when in 2wd, aside from a ratcheting sound in turns. But, even that isn't too bad depending on the oil you use, you'll quickly forget about it. The biggest change will be driving in snow (turning radius will increase), so don't think that you're suddenly driving SuperJeep because it has a locker, drive like you normally would in the snow... Offroad, you might notice the turning radius increase, but it's not too bad... certainly not bad enough to outweigh the traction benefits.


    Throw it in and enjoy!

  • The only thing is I'm not sure if I have all the parts to it

  • Pretty sure there are 4 pins and 4 springs in the bag.


    That's it? That is all the parts that are in an Aussie? I've never seen one laid out like that. I would have thought it was a more complex mechanism that what I see there.

    One thing about winter driving is, you'll have to get used to not accelerating in the turns. As soon as you give it some throttle the front locker will hook up and you'll be fighting the steering wheel. It's completely manageable though, once you adjust your driving habits.

  • Only difference in the Spartan is the pins are not accessible from the outsides. It will come with small toothpick sized pins to put in side holes that hold your springs down during install.
