LSD or other Traction device for WJ with only quadratrac??????

Question

Well i regret it now that i bought a 99 WJ with quadratrac and not quadra drive...i called and asked if it would be possible to get TrueTrac LSD but it turns out it won't work because of the c-clips in the Dana 44 (rear). I wanted to keep a LSD because I like the idea of not losing control in the snow (i.e. lockers) and having decent traction off road when i needit and....can't afford air lockers. Plus my grand is mostly stock so no real heavy wheeling is done on it....however i do want added traction i would have gotten with the true trac...anybody have any ideas? Thanks. (would electrac fit?)

Who did you talk to?  Did you talk to Trac-Tech?  I thought the Tru-Tracwould fit the D44.  I have one in my D35 with C clips.  You might want todouble check.

The WJ doesn't use a standard Dana 44, it has an aluminum housing and ismuch different from standard Dana 44 axles.  As such, products designed fora standard Dana 44 won't fit into a WJ's Dana 44.Jerry--Jerry BransfordTo email, remove 'me' from my email addressKC6TAY, PP-ASELSee the Geezer Jeep at

Ooohh!  OK. Thanks, Jerry.  I forgot about the aluminum pumpkin.  :-)

I was essintial told by extreme Gear (A sacramento 4wd shop) that this would not be possible due to the c-clips in the Dana 44 on the WJ...however based on Jerry's posting it looks like it won't fit in there anyhow. What other options do I have for a LSD (ARBs are to much for my uses, and electrac doesn't look like it will fit...auto lockers don't work for me in the snow...am i just out of luck!) Thanks for any and all advice! Esteban

BTW... I was toying with the idea of finding some varilock axles...but apperently it is more then just an axle swap to be add qudradrive to a quadratrac transfer case...Thanks in advance.
