[QUOTE="ItsA96, post: 1573201, member: 18280"] Upon further review, looks like I was mistaken about the e-locker. The only reason I was considering it over an ARB, OX locker, ect. is I really like the idea of having a limited slip in the rear when it's disengaged and full lock when engaged. I was mixing up the Detroit e-locker, Auburn Select-A-Loc and Ected. Not sure if the Ected was discontinued or renamed the Select-A-Loc? Either way, it appears the Select-A-Loc is the only one that's has the limited slip characteristic but only on their 1/2 ton and smaller axles. Damn it, that's kind of what set them apart in my mind and I think they really missed the boat by doing that. Either way, that sets me back to square one as far as which locker I'd like to eventually run but it does open up my rearend options. When doing the math on building a D60 comparable to the ECGS one, I figure I can do it for $2,000-2,500. Or about a $2k savings. Junkyard axle $500 or less New axle shafts - $500 WJ bracket kit - $300-400 Narrow axle & weld on brackets - TBD WJ brakes - free or JK brakes $200-300 Bearing retainers if new needed $150 I've intentionally estimated these costs high to account for misc expenses Granted, this is with used gears & locker so it's not comparing apples to apples but gets the same end result. Plus, I kind of want to do it just for the learning experience. It's definitely increased my knowledge quite a bit already just by doing the research and it seems like WJ guys just haven't come up with many viable options. I just think there's got to be a better way to go on a WJ then throwing a JK D44 or full-width superduty axles under there. [/QUOTE]
