I have the housing for a limited slip model 20 axle. It's fine, I took it out to install a locker and no longer need it. It's actually a rare part to find. I have all of the parts including the clutches and spidergears, but no center spacer. I had to still use that part, but you should be...

Ok, After all of this trouble I have had with this locker install, I figured it out. I have a quadra trac, limited slip axle. I didn't know it was limited slip, you cannot install this locker into this housing. I had to swap it out with a housing that had pins to keep the center shaft in...

I just installed a Quik lock a.k.a. Lock right in the rear of CJ5. The rear end is a amc model 20. After the install the rear is deffinately locked, but its supposed to unlock when going around corners. It will not come unlocked now, I know this because my turning radius is gone. What did I...

I'm having a hell of a time installing this locker. First I couldn't get the gear ring and housing out, I wasn't pulling the axles out far enough and need to use a little prying, that was dumb. Now, I think I have it all assebled (although there seems to be a large gap between the two center...

Take it from me I went from a 4 banger to an chevy V8 in a CJ. As far as when I'm Offroad The 4 banger was plenty of power. It's all about low gearing. Thats if your talking rock crawling, slow stuff. Honestly I just wanted a project So I swapped it, And its well worth it, but your 4.0 is...

I agree run it till it breaks and let it run really hard, but what the hell is a truss?

showing pics Your 4.0 probably has about the same amount of horse power as those motor minus a whole lot o' hasle!! I'd go with gears if you g owith bigger tires. Or there are lot of aftermarket parts for tons of extra horse power.

AMC model 20 strenght? Tire question How do you show your picture of your Jeep on your profile? All of my pic are around 500kb? where do I insert it, can I reduce it once its been saved. Not really a jeep question, just want to show off the jeep :P

:roll: 2 questions. I have a AMC model 20 rear end with one piece axles and soon to be a locker. I've heard the rear end is weak, but is that only before I put the one piece in? My other question is how big of a tire can I run? I currently have 33's w/ a chevy 350 th350 dana300, I think I...

Thanks So much, And from what I can tell from different pictures or diagrams, yes it is the same as the Lock Rights and Power Trax. I ordered it on line for $240.00 and the shipphing did come from 4wheel parts. thanks for the help

Guys thanks for the reply, You made me feel a little better about the model 20. I have a 350 powering the cj5. It said the Quik-Lock was made by genuine gear which I think is who makes Detroit Lockers? But now I have two conflicting answers, Junkpile says "pull the shafts" is that all of...

I'm tring to install a Quick-Lock rear locking differential. Do I need to remove the axles all of the way the do this? and do I need a axle puller to do this? I have one piece axles on a model 20. I don't want to hear about the weak amc 20, or that I should have bought an different locker...

I have a CJ bumper in good shape for sale for cheap. I think its called the "race" bumper, but not sure. It chrome with the big holes all across it? I also have used 1 inch shackles for a CJ for cheap no bushings. Pics. are available let me know?

Thanks, I have a 3 core also. What would you say the engine temp. should be for a normal temp? I currently replaced the termostate and it constantly runs at 170. Do I even need to worry about the fans?

Towing questions? :lol: I've heard that ford taurus electric cooling fans are a great fan if your thinking about swapping out your metal factory fan for an electric fan. Has anyone done this or know if this is true. Were talking cooling a 350 in a cj5 with just the taurus electric fan???
