Need Help

[The Gator]

I sold Gator :( But one day I will be back with another FSJ .. Heres the thing I got a deal on a truck with a nice lift and such and a good price just gonna use for going on my hunting lease so it will be on -off road truck but the previous owner welded the rear I guess lincoln locked it he claimes he drives it on the road also but I cant see that.. So can you drive this on the road ?? If so what are the measures to unweld this?? Thanks.. Gator

Hello their I had an XJ that I used for my dd and the rear was lincoln locked I had noproblems and the only way to put it back to the norm is to replace it.

Yep, will need to replace the entire carrier I would suspect.
I drive a welded 14-Bolt as a DD, tire wear is a bit more severe out back.
Other than that no real issues.
Of course I do not drive on ice or snow out here either.
How well it was welded might be of some concern, I pulled and replaced a welded carrier from a D44 a few years back as I was not sure if it would last based on what I saw inside.

a lincoln-locked rear end will act just like a spool. If you dont drive on the ice, it won't be a problem. expect tire spinning/chirping around corners, faster tire wear, and if you hammer the gas, expect it to get squirly. other than that, no issues. I suggest you find an empty parking lot and learn how it behaves under corners, throttle, etc. Once you know what to expect, it's no biggie.

It was going to be a chevy but I decided against it not just for the rear but I got a better deal on a samurai :rolleyes: .. Can you see some d44 from a waggie going underneath it ..:D :D I CAN :thumbsup:

You bet, I can too.
Hoping for something in that size range for the next project.
Of course, I'll be dead by the time I finish the truck but a sammi could be cool.
