Does anyone know what to buy (liquid wise) for Maintaining the Limited Slip in a new Unlimited. Been offroading a bunch and I heard it starts wearing down the limited slip. I will be adding ARB lockers when i re-gear and lift, but until then I am stuck with this.

I saw some stuff @ pep boys but the label said it wasn't for jeep limited slip

Just keep the fluid changed at recommended intervals or sooner if you wheel a lot or in mud/water, and be sure to put in the correct limited slip additive every time you refill the fluid. It's just a friction modifier and can be found at pretty much any auto parts store or at least from the dealer.

Any other additives are just snake oil.

"Any other additives are just snake oil."

In my youth, the additive was made from whales. I still have a few bottles that I've been hording for those old Chevy rear-ends.
