AUSSIE LOCKER: yay or nay?

jeepercreeperXJ · 09-12-2006, 07:08 PM

Anyone have any experience with the Aussie locker. I noticed it's quite a bit cheaper than the others, so I'm wondering if it's cheaper quality too.

Of the lunchbox lockers available for XJs, many say Aussie is the best.

Means the locker replaces just the small gears found on the carrier (the ones that are inside it). That's why lunchbox lockers are cheaper than "full" lockers (ie. Ox, Detroit Locker, ARB, etc..), that come with the carrier.

Lunchbox lockers are also much easier to install, since you don't need to shim again or anything. Just remeber that you MUST have an open diff to be able to use a lunchbox locker without replacing the carrier. So you CANNOT use a lunchbox locker on an axle that has a limited slip diff. - if you have an LSD axle, just buy a Detroit Locker, it'll cost about the same as buying a lunchbox locker + carrier.

It's down for all non- supporting members. It has something to do with the servers being under way too much load if the search would be enabled for all users - I think that was the reason behind it.
