I would not lock-right the front of a daily driver that does not have selectable hubs.

Do you have power steering??????? That was my mistake, someday I will put it on.

I have power steering and I'm running 33s. Just trying to get as far as I can offroad. Should I even lock the rear?

Locking the rear is very manageable for a daily driver. When I first got my YJ, it had lock-rights front and rear. Having the rear locked up was fine; it just reminded you that it was there sometimes.

The front, however, could become a handful on snow packed roads when I tried to use 4wd. With the YJ disco axle, 2wd was not noticeable. You have no lock-outs on the hubs and a non disconect axle; you will notice the locker in the front and it could throw you where you don't want to be on the road. Off-road, it would be great though.

In 2wd in the TJ you will not even notice the front locker at all. I can give the a hundred jeep owners that have this set-up. The locker in the rear does get noisy and sucks in 2wd. I would lock the front and leave the 8.8 alone or better yet save for an OX or ARB for the rear so you can disco it on the road.

If you don't believe me call Terry @ TKH and he'll suggest the same thing, and give you the rundown on TJ's

just weld it all up and replace parts as needed

i do agree save your money and get something selectable or you will really start to not enjoy your jeep for street use.

I like my axle shafts too much to weld them solid. Thanks for the suggestion though
