D35 locker compatibility

[maddyn]

I looked around a little bit, because I thought I remembered seeing a post about it. But didn't really find anything definitive. The one post I found had some discussion about minor fitment issues, and I'm ok with that. as it is I think there will be some grinding to get 4.56 gears to fit anyway.

So there is a used Yukon Zip locker for a D35-27 spline for sale locally, but Yukon doesn't list the D35 TTB as an option for any of their lockers. I looked at ARB's application chart, and it uses the same part number for the Jeep D35, and the D35 TTB. Does anyone know if the Yukon Zip locker will fit the TTB axle?

TIA

I know some guys have used a Jeep locker before but I haven't looked into it...

I personally am a fan of a locked rear axle and open front, I haven't broken anything up front and I can keep up with most everyone I go offroading with but I don't play in mud or rocks...

The only area i could potentially foresee an issue is with putting the retaining clip on the end of the passengerside axle (some D35s have a recess for a standard axle C-clip, which may or may not work well with the TTB clip (which is more like an E-clip). At very worst, you'd have to do the c-clip eliminator mod using a spring on the axle slip-yoke.

Had planned on doing C-clip eliminator already since it is completely tore down to bare beams right now and will be getting gears as well. I guess we'll take a shot at it and I'll let everyone know how it goes

I have a dana trac loc from a Jeep in mine, its about due for a new set of clutches but even as it is, it makes a pretty good difference in where I can go. The rear detroit helps carry the truck though. I can keep up with guys on bigger tires with front and rear lockers pretty well, I just have to pick my lines more carefully.

That is the approach I plan to take on the 2011. A Torsen LSD in the front and a locker in the rear. Though, the TTB is stronger than the D35 SLA. So the TTB might be able to handle a locker without breaking things.
