Default What lockers are your running?

I need an affordable way to help my jeep offroad, currently i do not have even LSD.

I cant afford ARB's but ive heard good things about the Front Aussie in the D30 and i called them and they said the D44 should be out soon for the JK.

The negative is driving on ice, but they reccomend hubs? Im guessing these basically can unlock your lockers when ever you want manually??? is this technology outdate? do they even make them for JK's. Anyone run anything similar to this??

Im a daily driver but need some kind of locker somewhere. What are some good setups to run for a good price? What are your expierences with your setup?

Search on Solid Axles 'Spyntec' conversion.

In addition to giving you manual lock/unlock, they also change the bolt pattern from 5on5 to 5on5.5, so you will need new rims/tires all around. Runs around $1500 I think...

You might be able to find a set of OEM LSDs in the for sale section. Also, take a look at the TrueTracs. Might be up your alley if you are concerned about ice and the price is ~$550.
Here's a link to a discussion about the TrueTracs including some good information from Dynatrac, a sponsor on this forum.
