what would the drawbacks be if i were to install a spool in the front of my 84? i have stock birfs and i was thinking the only drawback would be stress on the birfs and hubs on hardpack surfaces. most of the time i would leave the hubs unlocked anyways so it wouldnt effect them but i was just thinking of how i want to build my rig up for the trails. maybe i should just do a locker as it would ratchet rather than the birfs taking all the stress. an arb air locker would be bad ass but its not in my budget right now. as for the rear im deffinatly goil with a locker, ive seen the powertrax and the lock rites and heard good things about them, also the aussie sounds like a good locker. the rig will see some on road use like getting to the trails and the occasional trip to the gas station and beer runs but its mostly goimg to be a toy. not going to do any serious rock crawling mostly mudd pits and trail riding, i plan on a trail gear lift with high steer and all the goodies like longfields eventually, im just trying to get ideas before i buy tires and the lift kit so i can re gear at the same time. any input is appreciated. <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/notooth.gif" alt="" />
