desert,
yeah, if its everything that they say it is, it will have the benefits of an auto locker w/out the clicking and clanking. unfortunately, they don't make them for the 3rd gen 4runners, so ill have to wait

The thing I hear the most about the 'lunchbox lockers' like this is that they are not so great on a DD. Even though the manufacturer says they can be. Wet roads/chirps etc... Good luck and let us know how it goes!

Do not put an auto locker in an automatic if you value your tires.
And they're fine for a DD. I have one in mine, but its a 5 speed. i just clutch around turns.
by the way, this thread is 7 years old.

Anyway I installed the Aussie last week and am still learning how to drive on pavement with it. I do have a five speed like the previous poster so I do clutch and let it click while in tight turns vs gassing and chirping tires.

I can't believe I resurrected a 7 year old thread..... Luckily this isn't Pirate4x4....

I run a Spartan in the back of my '86 and it's great. My rig is a daily driver that sees plenty of wet and snowy roads and I haven't had any trouble at all with it. As long as I drive like sane person, I don't even know it's there.

My old Aussie ate through 2 sets of tires within 50K miles. All the springs inside sheared shortly after installation. I don't necessarily blame Aussie for it though, it was probably an installation error. If you arn't gonna install it yourself, make sure someone who actually knows what they are doing installs it. My local offroad shop couldn't even figure out how to do it right obviously.
