Hi guys looking in regearing and adding lockers,what lockers would you guys recommend (front D30 rear D44).

 

You drive a good bit of snow and ice up there? Auto-lockers / lunchboxes may not be the best choice, but there are opinions on both sides of that argument.

A pair of TrueTracs is a solid choice. Or, TrueTrac front and Selectable rear. Or, Open front and TrueTrac rear. Or, Open front and Selectable rear. Depends on how much money you want to throw at it, your opinion on the strength of that D30, and your opinion of 'needing' a locker (instead of a very well respected limited...)

 

for me personally, especially with snow driving, I would do a limited slip in the rear and a selectable in front. I know ARB makes a locker for a 30 spline d30... I believe Yukon also makes a zip locker for the 30 spline d30.

 

The d30 is 27 spline. The non-rubi rear d44 is 30 spline.

 

my bad, I thought both were 30 spline... either way, both those lockers come in a 27 spline version as well.

 

Guess we all just assume this is a DD, but OP didn't elaborate much on the use. So hard to put much more money than a basic regear into a D30. What kind of wheeling are you doing up there? Are you just wanting lockers just because, or you're getting stuck in situations because you're completely open right now?

 

Yeah, it's hard to keep track of. But unless something changed over the years:
d30 is 27sp inner, 32sp outer.
Non-rubi rear 44 is 30 sp
Rubi front d44 is 30 sp inner, same 32sp outer as the d30
Rubi rear d44 is 32sp
And then there are the few lucky 07's that got a rear d35, no clue what shafts went in those. And even some non-rubi 07's with front 44's.
Clear as mud, huh.

 

When the information first came out about the JK , the press releases all said they were going to get a D35 with 30 spline shafts. I've talked to a few customers that HAD the D35 rear but none ever could confirm they had 30 spline shafts.

 

well i figure im doing a regear so since its open ad a locker either both front and back or just rear basic off roading.

 

this is what I did. Arb up front trutrac in the rear as I drive a lot in the northeast winters.
