Just ponied up for an Aussie Locker

Just bought an Aussie locker and should have it by Tuesday. Hopefully I can get the thing installed in time for Rocktoberfest next weekend. Anybody in NW AR that wants to help a brother out? Really though, anything that I should know upfront before I tear into this thing???

I am in NW Arkansas/Fayetteville. Was thinking about an Aussie Locker for the front, but have never installed gears before. I have retro-fitted my rear with the factory E-Locker, but nothing like what you are attempting. Post pics of the process.

I know ZUK's website is full of pix and info regarding this, but it would be nice to have someone local with first hand knowledge.

Maybe I'll see you at Rocktoberfest!

I was born and raised in Oregon and have heard that term said quite often.
