*Revised*

If you can install a set of brakes you can install the Aussie Locker®.
The "Aussie Locker"® is the most relied on differential on the market today. Trusted by offroad enthusiasts to get their vehicle in and out of every possible situation the "Aussie Locker"® delivers performance.

The true automatic locker.
A simple design with no actions required by the driver to actuate the locking capability. There are no cables, electrical wires, air lines, pneumatic or external connections of any kind required.

Safe offroad and on.
Unlike manual lockers which do not provide differential action when locked and severely hamper steering and directional maneuverability, the "Aussie Locker®’s" smooth and sensitive operation allows differential action resulting in uncompromised steering, uphill or down, soft or hard surfaces. Even on highway driving the "Aussie Locker"® does not impede performance

Torq Masters Aussie locker
Pros: works, cheap, easy install
Cons: auto locker, center pins may need replacement after awhile, not nearly as strong as a full carrier locker
Recommended? Yes

Comments: aussie on my yj d30, been over 15000mi no problem whatsoever and works everytime I need it. A great cheap upgrade, better than going up to a bigger size tire if you ask me.

Torq Masters Aussie locker
Pros: Great locker for the TJ front dana 30 because in 2WD is does not lock so it's great on the street.
Cons: Will impact street drivability if used in rear since it locks when it gets torque.
Recommended? Yes

Comments: Can't beat the price, well built product, easy install. I installed these front and rear on my last Jeep TJ and don't recommend the unit for the rear axle with a manual trans because it will lock and unlock when shifting through turns creating a very awkward street situation. Due to design the unit only locks when torque is sent to it via the drive shaft so accelerating while turning through an intersection it locks then when you clutch it unlocks causing the whole vehicle to become squirrly. A really great unit for the front axle because it will not engage on the street in 2WD so it does not impede street drivability installed in the front, you won't even know it's there. I always felt a selectable locker would be best for the front but now I have changed my line of thought after running Aussie's front and rear. In conclusion I feel the Aussie Locker is a great choice for the front but use limited slip or selectable locker in the rear.

Torq Masters Aussie locker
Pros: Price, ease of installation, how it performs, invisable in 2wd
Cons: it is a lunchbox locker, so it is not selectable
Recommended? Yes

Comments: I have this in my dana 30 of my TJ. I love it. I recently ran the rubicon from airport flat campground to little slucie and back. (my rear is a factory LSD). I had no traction problems whatsoever. My crawl ratio was only like 38:1 so I need to work on that but the traction was right on!! I have had this locker for about a year and I have no complaints so far.

Comments: Have both front and back. They have never failed me. Lock up every time I need them. Easy to install, Easy to use. The only draw back is I would like a selectable in the front for easier terms on the trails.

Comments: I have run this in both the front and rear. Excellent locker for a very good price. Does tend to under steer when in the front and on snowy roads, but it is not too bad that you can not get used to it. i have had no issues with this locker!
