Don’t make the mistake I did! Installing a Aussie Locker in a Jeep Dana 35 rear axle

Follow along as I replace the spider gear set in this Dana 35 Jeep TJ axle with a Torque Master Industries Aussie Locking differential.

Man I was so upset for you when you said the spacer wasn’t installed. You definitely have a lot of patience. Thank you for the video great advice

[@ninjascout468]

My Xj has 27k on a lock rite locker in my Dana 35 no issues what so ever daily driver all year round , stupid stuff on the trails best thing I've done along with 33" general mt tires

[@ACEMIDNIGHT102]

Great job. I am considering some sort of locker on my WJ. This was very helpful!

[@petethiel7129]

Your a braver man the me working over the drain like that, I would have dropped at least half of the fasteners in the drain

[@turbostoybox2182]

I put paper towel down over the drain! Got lucky for the first couple minutes then realized I was tempting fate. Haha

Fixing a wj rear end myself glad u posted this 😅

[@chevas91187]

I have my tj 97 with 35" its the second time with the same problem. I want try this locker thank you my friend

[@227lazer]

Great video

[@mercman2.5]

Yes it did

[@schaerem]

Nice video, thanks for posting. I am considering one for the front end of my sons YJ. Reading mixed reports installing one in the rear, especially for a daily driver. How has this performed on the street? Thanks

[@turbostoybox2182]

Honestly I did it for a friend. This is not a daily driver vehicle but more of a toy for him. I’m honestly not sure.

I did a powertrax no slip in my ZJ rear dana 35 and love it. it works the same way as other lunchbox style lockers but it's completely silent, no clicking.

[@dad3562]

A Detroit auto locker would be awesome in a YJ in the rear.

[@benjaminpoulson4894]

@@dad3562 yes, and if you are staying with the dana 35 you can get a Detroit locker and shafts that have 30 splines for extra beef. I think it's called a super 35 kit. lots of people say it's a waste to spend that kind of money on a dana 35 over an 8.8 swap but one advantage the dana 35 has is excellent ground clearance.

[@Olive-oilien]

Vsauce for jeeps!

[@mercman2.5]

If you had checked the spacing at the pin you would have caught that, been there and done that...

[@jlsgarage872]

Did you ever post the video of the locker in action?

[@turbostoybox2182]

No unfortunately we haven’t been wheeling together since we got him hooked up. Different schedules right now.

[@raulgcamacho]

The spider gear damage did not send shrapnel through the differential bearings? R&P no gear damage?

[@turbostoybox2182]

No other damage was found thankfully! Over 10k miles and no issues.

[@MrSrtman18]

Spartan locker much easier it seems.

[@CanadaBud23]

You think that's brave? I put an LSD on with a 3.07 gear with a 265 track tire putting 600hp on mine. She held up for a year now lol.

[@nomaneme]

Still holding up? I have an 05 tj with the Dana 35 and 32 inch tires, do you think the Dana 35 would hold up? 🤔

[@turbostoybox2182]

So far he loves it. Running 35s. No issues.

[@nomaneme]

@@turbostoybox2182 Thanks!

[@jeremyfufushnick2965]

I’m in a 05 TJ with Dana M35 chromoly shafts and I got 33s and a LSD and it had held up really good

[@fishhuntadventure]

@@jeremyfufushnick2965 LSD is not the same
