Getting ready to take possession of my brand new '21 jeep gladiator sport s in about a week. As you can imagine I am pretty excited about getting it & doing some mods to it. One thing I had the dealer do to it is I added the " Max Tow Package " when I ordered it. My question is does anyone make aftermarket lockers for it yet if not equipped.

The rear axle will have a trac-lok(limited slip) since you ordered a max tow package. As for the front there is an ARB locker that will fit it. There is a thread on here where someone explained what is required with the max tow on doing the front.

Your local transmission shop could install a locker.

The ARB Air Lockers are the top end of aftermarket lockers and are what many people swap to when they are replacing a broken or worn out factory locker.

They are very simple in design and use air pressure to lock in. They are also very strong and, if you keep the gear oil clean, have a long service life.

All JT Sports would use the RD245 front and rear: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/lockers/rd245-arb-rear-air-locker-m220-32-spline

It is also a great time to upgrade to the larger 35 spline axle shafts, especially if you are upgrading to larger tires and going to spend time off-road. Unfortunately there are not many companies offering replacement 35 spline shaft yet.

35 spline RD246: https://www.northridge4x4.com/part/lockers/rd246-arb-front-rear-air-locker-m220-m210-35-spline
