Aussie Locker install on a Dana 30

Here's a video I found on YouTube on how to install an
Aussie Locker for a Dana 30. This video was for an XJ but can be installed on a TJ and on any Dana 30.


Note: The music in the background is a bit interesting

I always gathered that installing a locker on a D30 was not recommended, is this true?

Not true at all, lots of people run lockers in the D30. One of the best mods you can do. The aussie automatic style lockers seem to be the most popular. They are cheap and work well.

I love me Aussie in the D30. Not even noticeable during summer driving; winter is a different story though.

I was close to buying one last winter but didn't, now it's wheeling season and I want one now more than ever!

Where would be the cheapest place to order one?

Yes matt it is normal. The clicking should be there to let you know that it's working/going to work when engaged.
