theres a big difference in installation. the aussie simply replaces the spider gears and the tru trac is a full locker that replaces the carrier, you have to have your gears set up to use the tru trac and probably pay someone unless you know how to properly set it up. lots of guys run the aussie its no piece of junk, but a full case locker is ussually stronger.

Sure it isn't... Wanna buy some Florida swampland or a bridge?

Time to find another supplier in my opinion...

I have a lock right and i really like it, as far as bang for buck lunch boxes are great.

Most lunch boxes are generally the same.

I'm only rolling 32's, but they're backed by a 360.

my whole club is running Aussie, I've been impressed with how they have held up to a beating. Iv seen guys break shafts with no issue from aussie. The cost and ease of install is why I got one. I'll take it on my first trip next weekend, taking it to the farm to "test" it this weekend. have not engaged on pavement. I decided that the aussie and a twin stick was cheaper than an OX, as I drive enough on pavement I did not want a full locker.

it may not be available if you have a limited slip carrier, as the lunchbox and limited slip don't work together.

the detroit tru trac is a limited slip not a locker
The Lock-rite is a lunch box locker very similar to the aussie

Well backorder is a bit different than not available...

Can they not give you a timeline for the backorder?

I love my Aussie in the front. I installed a twin stick like a previous poster and love it.
