i have a 89' lancruiser SWB - LJ71 , i will be swapping out the rear spiders for a Powertrax locker and at the same time doing the front , i really want an active LSD ( non clutch type ) and not a locker , as will be up in the mountains ( snow and ice ). I'm wondering what LSD's are available ????

I've got a BJ73 MWB Cruiser with a factory type LSD in the front. I had the clutches tightened up so it still steers much the same but it takes a lot more to engage the clutch hence more traction. I reckon its made a big difference as opposed to an open diff. Once the front hubs are disengaged it drives like normal on the road.

did'nt know older cruisers came with LSD's in the front standard , spose its not possible to put one from the rear into the front then? ( opposite direction ) , unless its a 2 way clutch .?

No it wasn't standard, i removed the open and fitted it. As far as i know you can fit front to rear. But it would pay to confirm this with someone in the know before doing it.
