I am currently building up my 89 xj. I have a Rubicon Express 5.5 lift and will be running 33's. I would like to put a locker in the rear for now. I want to be able to drive it on the street as well as the trail. I wont be doing the Ershim trail as of yet but I would like to run a few of the easier trails for now with the wife and kids. I have estimates from $1200. for 4.10's , axle upgrade kit and a Detroit in the rear. All the way to $4200 for the 4.10's with air lockers and compressor. I would love the air lockers but I am not going to spend that much on this jeep right now. My goal was to build this whole thing for under $5k including buying the vehicle. so far I am doing that even with the detroit.
So, I guess my question is: Will a Detroit work well? Will I hate it on the street or on the way to the trail?
Any opinions will be appreciated.
