Not sure if this is the place to post, if so direct me where please. If it is, I have a question about my 87 YJ. The hubs have no 4wd locks (yes the jeep has 4wd) I know this is noobish but I didn't even think to look under the hubcap covers when I bought it for my girlfriend. It has a jam nut and hook ups to tow behind an rv or something. What does this mean?
It uses a unit bearing hub that's always engaged. The way the front "free wheels" is the axle shaft on the long side is a two piece and that cable lock you now have slides a collar over to lock the two shafts for a locked front end.
I will move this into the YJ section so others can chime in, and to those who know be easy on him we all had to learn oh and welcome.
Being that you asked this question and it's your first post....... I'd direct you to read through the Frequently Asked Questions thread at the top of the YJ Tech section.
Hey did my research and realized it's a posi lok. Sorry guys that was retarded haha. And I totally understand the debate comments due to my forum research. [emoji23]
Members here are very helpful and have tried lots of mods so they can be a valuable asset during your YJ voyage. There are many polarizing topics and if you get into performing mods you will eventually tap into one or one hundred lol. Best of luck.
I am old school I like things that are mechanical , went to posi-lok never looked back. But I will sell the vacuum cad unit cheap no hoses they turned to dust.
here in The Rust Belt I did the cheapo NAPA cable and completely encased it in a clear vinyl tubing from firewall to vac fork housing. Urethane caulking and a clamp onto cable where it enters CAD housing. Three years later no issues with rust. Engages fine; disengagement sometimes takes a few seconds while applying zen. I have parts to complete a OEM vac system on the project jeep but I've become so addicted to 2WD-Lo I'm gonna do the same for that, too. If I didn't drag and back a trailer so often the vac system would be fine 99.44% of the time.
My stock vacuum system worked flawlessly, right up until it quick working driving over the Donner Pass in a blizzard. Know what works better than both? Solid shafts....

@timatoe Not if you have an autolocker and want to flat tow.
I wonder if there is a demand for a bolt on solution for 2lo. Proper solenoid and electric switch spec'd out and ready to install. Could be packaged to order, so no need for initial investment, just need it listed on quadratec.
