With explained operation of how the locker works. How would it be dangerous to have one in the front axle of an AWD? It would perform just as a rear axle, when you turn it would disengage the outer coupler. So unless you were on the gas coming through a turn it should be disengaged.
(EDIT) if you read further into their PDF they do not recommend using there locker on the front axle of an AWD or full time 4WD without locking hubs or without being able to disengage the front axle. I'm going to take a guess that the center diff will apply a load the the front axle and cause the locker to engage.
95-96 Disco, Do tell. Are these parts interchangable?You could swap front diffs to a 95-96 Disco. I will have a front locker by summer in mine

Gmanpaint.... I guessing the T-case I put in up Ouray needs to be changed out as well then?????
The short answer is no, they won't swap. It has to do with the halfshaft/axle shaft retention. The IFSD35 in the 2nd gens uses a circlip to retain the halfshaft/axle shaft in the side gears. The TTBD35 diffs lack the groove for that circlip to lock into. It would seem to me a sharp machinist with a good print, a dremel, and a lathe could modify the TTB unit and make it work, but I don't know of anyone that's tried it.On as related note, is the TTB D35 carrier the same as the IFS one? can I use the True-Trac out of my old TTB35 in a second gen 35? There's not much out there for reading on second gen stuff
