35 locker??

[redipsweb]

Who makes the best locker for the front D35? Does a locker for rear wheel drive D35 fit the TTB D35?

I dont know. I add a couple shims behind the side gears.

From my research on the D35 SLA, lockers are location specific. You’ll also have to pay attention to standard rotation and reverse rotation. I believe you have TTB and I don’t remember which rotation that axle has. Much of the information you’ll need is in the tech section. Also check out the TRS Store for what they have listed there. That will help you find out what you need and and some ideas on what to get.

I out an Aussie locker in mine. It's not selectable. But works great for me.

I know they also made a D35 that was in the rear of jeeps. Also, a locker for a front or rear axle doesn't care what the rotation is, only gear sets matter for what they're designed for. I know I would have to use reverse cut gears in a TTB D35 for it's carrier. I knew there was 2 different type of D35s just like there's different type of D60s. There's not a lot of support for the TTB D35. When you look D35, 27 spline lockers it doesn't mention the TTB axle. That's why I was asking in case anyone had a suggestion.

Thanks, I also posted this question to a group FB & a member on there mentioned that locker, it was for jeeps D35 but fit the TTB he said.

There doesn't seem to be a lot of support for D35 front axles in general, regardless of the design. Solid axle, TTB, or SLA. With as many of of all three of those axles being out there, you would think there would be at least more information, let alone product. I get that it's considered a weak axle in the off road world but better support, at least in information would be greatly appreciated by many. As far as the locker rotation bias, or the lack there of, you may be right. Since I have the D35 SLA, I've only looked at Limited Slip, which does specify a rotation bias in the product descriptions.

X2 Aussie here. It grabs wicked hard for sure. I personally would not use it on a non-trail rig. Mine is used mainly for wheeling and it works great!

I had an aussie locker in the 2wd sport trac and that thing would surprise people on the trails and mud. Never took it down no rough trails but did run it through a lot of mud holes. It was a daily and the clicking on pavement scared me at first. But quickly got used to it. Ran it for about the last 40000 I had the truck. That thing would grab wicked hard at the drag strip too.

The whole clicking thing is what turns me off on that style of locker.

I have an Aussie up front and a lockrite in the back. The aussie is WAY louder. I barely notice the lockrite.

There actually is quite a bit of support for the TTB D35, though indeed much of it is because of the content it shares with the Jeep rear D35 (there aren't any upgraded ball joints (like Dynatrac) for a TTB D35 that I'm aware of because a Jeep rear of course does not have ball joints).

But yes, locking differentials (the differential carrier itself) will all interchange with a Jeep D35 rear (it's the SLA IFS D35 with it's narrower carrier that is the odd duck here).

As for "Best locker", that's often a matter of opinion... For me, it's ARB hands down for any front axle.
