Default honest answer

am i happy, yes. if i had to drive it everyday , im not so sure.
i have 513 6 speed and 35 inch krawlers. YES you notice it, being a 2 door it jerks a bit howls the tires in parking lots and unlocks with a tug to the right on the street when you let off the gas.
so thats my honest opinion, it is NOT my primary vehicle, it spends more time off road than on.
i live in ct if anyone wants to drive it they are more than welcome before buying a detroit or a tru trac
heres the good side. detroits very very rarely break.
its unreal off road
the truetrac is gear driven, and they dont wear out
it hooks up great off road about 95% as i understand it
as i said id be happy to answer any questions or let you drive my rig if youd like

Thanks for the reply. I had ARB's on my last jeep and loved them. It was pretty much off road only. Now this jeep is my daily driver and was wanting a locker but didn't want to pay the price for the ARB again. I just don't want it to be any more of a hand full than it already is.

I had True Tracs in front and back on my XJ. Both worked great and both were invisible on the road. I would not hesitate for a second to recommend them.

Thanks all of the info you posted really helps! I have about 4k miles left till my crap hole(it's a crap hole, cuz they fight me on everything) warranty is up and then I plan for the locker!
