What kind of traction control is available for our XJ's?

This table generated after a conversation with Barney, a Technician at Reider Racing Enterprises.

Randy's Ring and Pinion service in Everett, WA on Airport Road is an excellent source of information as well.
They've worked on my '99 WJ, '88 XJ and '91 SJ.

The little wagoneer started out with an open front axle and a Trac-Lock in the rear. however, at 160,000 miles the Trac-Lock clutches were worn out. In the interest of research, I had a Detroit locker installed in the rear, and a True-Trac in the front. Three months later understeer from the Detroit locker knocked out a tree. I decided to reinstall the Trac-Lock in the rear and keep the True-Trac in the front. Drive carefully if you have a locker... They are great on the trail, but a hazard on the street... Life is full of trade-offs, for trail use a Detroit Locker can not be beat! On the street, forget it. ARB has a great concept, but on the trail you often find yourself trying to make tight turns on hard rock, or on rain slicked roads where traction control would come in handy. I guess that what makes me lean toward the True-Trac, too bad they aren't out yet, I had to put my Trac-Lock back in.
