![]() ![]() I've been blessed to have had tons of truck projects and hot rods over the years. It's pretty bitchin' to be able to enjoy the tiny turn radius of of Jeep again, not to mention back out of my driveway without the neighbors looking to see what I broke when the locker clanks. The true Super35 will have to wait just a little bit longer, but in the meantime I am totally THRILLED with the difference in handling and improved road manners without having the rear locker. Long story short, the Spartan had already taken a toll on the OEM axles by way of spline damage and there were major sharp gear edges on the R&P as well so I'm now sporting some alloy 27 spline axles and breaking in a new rear gear set (the good buddy deal on parts and labor made it an easy choice to stay with the existing 3.73 for now while saving to do the more major upgrade and re-gear later as I have a house project that is the $$ priority at the moment ). I took the TJ over to a good buddy/customers shop the other day (If you're in the Boise area, Jim's Drivetrain flippin' ROCKS!) to yard out the rear locker and just go back to open while I saved for upgrading to a Super35. ![]() A special thank you to the likes of Jerry Bransford, Chris, and all the others who chimed in last month when I was asking about my then "new to me" 2000 TJ into which the PO had installed a Spartan Locker into the Dana 35.
