Okay, i was going to go with the ARB but I think my budget isn't going to allow it. With that being said I think I an swing a TrueTrac. Anyone know what a good price would be? Or where to get one. Summit doesn't have it for my axle and two other places seem really high in price. Any help would be appreciated. I want to order it no later than tomorrow morning.

I looked at one on the net and it was around $415ish for the rear axle.

Keep in mind that the TT and the ARB are apples and oranges
I know that you know this but some people get cloudy when it comes to lockers and lsd's
the E break trick only works so much and with the E break you are applying a load to BOTH rears at the same time not just the one in the air so it too is limited

I would hold out a while and go ARB in the rear
or if you are lucky full detroit in the rear no air worries
I am not so lucky because the KJ is the wifes DD so no detroit for a while but I can wait till she gets a new ride and then
:twisted:

Yeah I understand the difference but the more I look at it...I put about 33,000 miles a year on my KJ on the street and a straight locker might be to much for me. That is why I wanted the ARB in the first place to switch off but I think a TrueTrac or maybe even a PowerTrax NoSlip will better suit my needs and wallet. Kind of a compromise. :?

no slip will work like a detroit or a locked ARB
I had no clue that you put that kind of milage on your rig
I would buy a trail beater and Lincoln lock the rear :D
That is what I am thinking about doing to the TJ
Weld it and be done
"set it and forget it"

The truetrac is a good choice, it's as close to a locker as you can get and still have a lsd for good road manners. The TT is awesome offroad, you won't be disappointed.
