Well, that escalated quickly . Not a bad idea... I'm still building my 69 to be a dedicated crawler. The A/C in my 6G sure is nice for crawling in the 5 months we get heat indexes over 100, though!I regrettably did not.
The Jeep pushed me to build the Samurai instead of thrashing my poor Bronco. I'm making a 14 hour round trip tomorrow to pick up yota axles, e-lockers, and 38s on beadlocks.
Make sure you grease the tire tread because with 38s on a zuk the front tires might rub the rear ones
Just be sure to not use TTA if you do thisThanks for sharing the awesome pics! Other than the rock who's name shall not be spoken, it looks like a great adventure!
In light of the ABS/Computer controlled "goodness", you might want to look into splicing waterproof connectors to the two wires going to each locker and the pair that go to the swaybar disconnect.
Just run a few well places micro-toggle switches in the cab with whatever voltage the Can-Bus is sending to the lockers (measure voltage to each while engaged to find out) and sway-bar disconnects and then individually to each locker and the disconnect. They are just dongles near the splices with their own waterproof plug.
Next time the ABS/computer disables these, just unplug the waterproof connectors and and swap them out for the waterproof connectors fed from the toggle switches. It would at least give you the ability to manually engage when this inevitably happens again.
