I finally did it: I spent a lot of money to buy the Warn 37780 manual locker set (Jeep version $170 Amazon) and was so excited I skipped breakfast to put them in. Bought the conversion kit from TRS for $28 shipped (28068x). Even went to Advanced and got a "loaner" torque wrench and socket set. You pay for it and then return for a full refund=FREE. Installed driver side first and threw it in 4x4. Not one damn thing happened. The haft shaft from the diff wasn't spinning on the driver side. So I put on the passenger and it is working. I understand this is an open diff but shouldn't both be spinning when there is no weight on the axle?
The driver spindle turned just fine before putting the new hubs on but I already feared this was a problem even when the auto were on, sometimes the driver half-shaft wouldn't spin with the tire on. After I took the driver tire off I could get the spindle moving very slowly. WTF
