Well, since it now looks like I'll be "re-ordering" a 2008, I've had too much time to think about how I might want to change my order

The way my 2007 order was set up was for 6 speed, 4:10 rear and trac-loc. It will spend most of the time on the street with some light to moderate off roading once or twice a year. We do have snowy and icy winters here in NY

Now I am not so sure if I want/need the trac-loc and I would love to hear various opinions on the topic. May 2007 JP magazine article (page 28) does not have much good to say about the trac-lok off saying it is largely unnoticeable on AND off road plus it sounds like it could eventually wear out (clutch disks) and has a weaker case.

I'd like to hear what anyone has to say about this.

I personllay don't see the point of paying for a limited slip when the brake lock differential feature associated with the traction control is standard on all JKs. I would definately have purchased the electric locker option if it had been available when I got mine. Good luck with your decision.

For '08 you'll be able to order the X and the Sahara with a rear locker like the Rubicon models. (as well as an electronic disconnecting swaybar!)

Mine happened to have the Tracloc option when I got it, If I could have ordered it, I would have gotten the E locker which in my opinion should be standard.

i drove to the ski resorts all season and no trac loc.
if you do light off roading pretty worthless as the traction control does a better job on road in the snow and rain than trac loc.more intense offroading get the locking rear diff.

The Locker and Electonic sway bars were options on 07 Saharas as well. I'm not sure when those options were first offered but mine was orderd in April with them.

2X that,.............

selectable rear locker, and if you want, the in-cab sway bar disconnect (i've really come around on that. i love it.)

all limited slips are worthless compared to a locker off road.

most cars can use electronic brains to make it a 'limited slip'.

i wouldn't bother....

What does the limited slip actually do???
