This is a circle jerk of your own biases

Sorry Easter Jeep. The one in this episode. Cant find Specs but John Currie says it has a Detroit.... actually doesnt specify now that I watch it again... could be a locker. And as for your 30 comment sounds like 70 rear and 60 front... So no. Again. You got insight into any of this, or just challenging/trolling?

Just finished watching the video, and like you said, Mr. Currie just says "a Detroit" so tell me again why you picked a Trulock?

As far a being a "race rig".
No.... for the first time. :crazyeyes:

Insight? Nah I ain't got none of that but I'm still wondering why you picked a Trulock for your first choice. Looks like you don't really know either.

And speaking of how AWESOME Currie shit is.

Edit: Currie axles

And you did say you were thinking about locking the front, so you can eat a dick for all I care, troll.

No I didnt. What you posted, if you knew what you were talking about, is what is called a limited slip. I thought this would be a great forum for advanced advice. I've been wrong before, but holy shit.

That dude from Mississippi
I don't claim to know everything, and although not fully locking the front, you are still wasting money on a 30.

I may have taken a screenshot of the wrong part, but in the 3rd paragraph, you said it.

You came here with a really bad attitude. Why don't you leave?

It is a great forum for advice, but are you? Try starting with the new member wave and intro, participate and get to know a few people. Then maybe your opinions and questions will be better received. I predict that you won't be welcome much longer acting like this.

I am getting to know people just fine. So people are harder on somebody when they are new, even if they dont know what a limited slip is? So people want to try to change your mind about the parts being bought by the asker when it isnt their money and have no other retort than "everyone on this thread uses ________ (insert product here)". Its called groupthink... Google that too. I can tell this is a circle jerk of your own biases just in the couple hours Ive been here. There are clubs around me like this. I understand it. Disappointed, but understand it. Its way worse in person.

Sorry I put my question out there. Welcome, not welcome, dont care. Nothing I have said is bullshit. A lot of responses have been. If this is how it works, I was wrong.

My mistake, you're a psychologist not an engineer. Either way, I don't recall every pushing you to buy anything. Rather I simply questioned why you chose the product in the first place.

And so it isn't missed, you're original reasoning was "a race team runs it" which turns out wasn't rooted property.

No I said they put it in a build. They (family) ALSO build race cars. I did not say they put it in a race car. You said that. Then argued that point. Straw man bro. Make sure everyone sees your misdirect though.... that way you don't look stupid. I shouldn't have even mentioned it because Im not sure he was even talking about the appropriate front end - and admitted that too - but its the only thing you got to grasp on. Keep holding on my man.

Point is.... They would know. You sir, do not. Obviously. And what I said has a little to do with pychology, but mostly logic/reasoning and putting together valid arguments. Your case, a little reading comprehension would go a long way.

You're out of control man and getting all heated up over nothing. Reading through the thread, you got some good input already.

- don't waste time locking and building up your front dana 30
- ARB locker is a good choice
- currie axles aren't that solid of quality and don't have the best reputation. Dynatrac is really the way to go and worth saving your pennies for

You got all butthurt and defensive over nothing man. Maybe you're right, this probably isn't the best place for you if you NEED EVERYONE TO AGREE WITH YOU. Go get your curries.

There's no need to get all angry over this, it's just the internet and you were the one asked for opinions.

My opinion is that both your choices are still.

A) What looks like an over priced limited slip. Pointless because your spending money on a turd.

B) An axle that no one runs because there are better products. Yes, they are more expensive. Sorry that you spend your hard earned cash on an over priced double piston brake system.

C) Don't get me wrong, Currie does make some awesome products. It's your logic in "a family that builds stuff including race cars, so I'll buy their products" that's silly to me. Am I missing something, are you building a KOH buggy?

Again, just my opinion.

I gotta agree here. You asked if there was anything you were missing and for other concerns. Some people piped up but it seems it wasn't what you wanted to hear so you got a bit sideways. You've been around the hobby a bit and it seems like you went and researched to the point you sold yourself on a plan of action already. Not really sure what you are looking for at this point - except to be argumentative.

Yeah, both kits will stop you faster than stock, I can say as much because I have tested both side by side. That being said, I found the TF kit to lock up the tires where as the ProGrips did not. I also found the TF kit to dive considerably - the ProGrips did not. For all you TF fanboys out there, it's your Jeep, your money and you should do what you want with both. Me, I can only go off of my first hand experience testing both kits and based on it, I'm happy to be running ProGrips.

Youre right. You changed my mind.

Going 60s front and rear now not 44. Dynatrac all the way. ARB too. You know..... names you guys are familiar with. I also just ordered the Dynatrac brake kit. Gonna go throw the TF away. The 2 piston calipers too. That I dont have.

I was asking about experience with the Trutrac. Mechanical Limited Slip. None of the advice given pertained to the question. Its as if I told you I was going to buy a 65" TV for my 2 story 4 br near the city and you want me to get a ranch in the country.... I got advice from somebody telling me that I should not lock my 30... Which I never said I was going to, but great idea. Wish I thought of it. Nailed it guys. Thanks. Truly blessed this holiday season.

Happy New Year

Your problem is a simple one. You have spent too much time talking, typing, arguing and not enough time listening. Most people here dislike Terror Flex products - all of them! This was made abundantly clear in the brake thread, yet you continued to argue your pro TF opinion. While your entitled to your opinion, we are also entitled to ours and since you are in our house, its you that should tread lightly.

Follow that with your axel proposal to truss and dump a shit load of money into a D30, it's no wonder that you have zero credibility. I think we all know what a limited slip differential is, just not the current trade name "Trutrac" or whatever. The morel of the story is, you asked the question. If you don't like the answers and opinions, you're free to leave. Just remember, you came to us, not the other way around. Good Luck!
