So after getting stuck in a mud pit with only RWD and an open diff, I've decided two things: to finish building my front shaft, and to get locked. I'm also on a budget and don't want to shell out for full carrier replacements
So ponder with me, what would be a good locker combo for a DD'ed trail rig.
I'm runnin a HP D44 w/ molly shafts and after market knuckles up front and a Molly 31 spline 9.
35x15 meats, soon to be 39x somethings pushed by a 3.0 with 4.30 gearing and a wise right foot.
Thoughts so far:
1) Mini spool up front (with a chromo pin), and an Aussie in the rear. Basicly a reverseable lincoln locker. I can unlock the hubs on the road, and unlock just 1 if I need a tight turn. I hear aussies kick ass and are in my price range.
2) Aussie/Aussie
3) Ausie or spool the front, LS rear
4) LS the front if I can find one, Aussie the rear
Any more ideas? Pros or cons? Whaddya say?
Thanks
Adam
