Hey guys, quick question. I'm looking to order a used front axle for my '92 FJ80. I've found a company that stocks both locked and unlocked used axles and the difference between the two is $250. My '92 is currently open diffed front and rear. From what I understand the front axles are interchangeable between FJ and FZJ's with the stock gearing. For my needs I don't NEED to be locked but it would in fact be nice. My question really comes down to... Is there an issue with running a front axle with a diff lock and not wiring it up/using it till I can swap out my rear axle? I could realistically see doing the rear axle sometime in the summer. Just looking for any reasons why I can't, or shouldn't do this. thanks in advance
