Hi Gerald, And was it an EZ Locker, which kind of tells us never to use it seriously? If it had Real springs holding the cogs together as in Detroit Locker:

Also you hadit in a YJ with the passenger axle normally unlocked, I can see manyproblems dragging the driveshaft with the one axle. I would guess theywould be dangerous to the inexperienced. God Bless America, ßill O|||||||Omailto: snipped-for-privacy@aol.com "Gerald G. McGeorge" wrote:>

Then something is wrong with it. I have driven my CJ on the street for most of 6 years, and I can't remember the last time the hubs were not locked. The hubs locked on a CJ is the exact same condition as a TJ from the factory. There _could_ be issues relative to snow and ice and getting into a parking spot, but I don't know about that from any experience I have had. My experience is that there are absolutely no issues in 2WD with a locker equipped front axle.

You definitely drove one that was not installed/working correctly.
