If you're on a budget and want a great locker I would vote Aussie. Really easy to install! I love mine and have had no problem. Went on some pretty serious trails in Moab - Hells Revenge, Poison Spider Mesa, and they were awesome! Showed up a couple of buddies with jeeps. They were not happy to say the least!

 

33"s too big? Its only a 22re on a single cab. Usually you would expect a stock driveshaft or U-joint to go first in front of built up axle. Maybe he got a bad batch. All the numbers on the boxes from all 3 were pretty much sequential. ???

I hear what your saying though. You can understand my concerns, and again, I have never heard anything bad about the Aussie.

 

Yea 33's are too big! jk

Yea im not sure what happened. now when we were speaking of lockrights i was thinking of the v6 modle, which is what i have. I have no knowledge of the 4cyl lockright and if it came down to it, i would definitly go aussie, but for the v6, the lockright had been fine for me.

 

Good to know.

 

I have a detroit and have zero complaints. The truck is also my daily driver and the road manners are awesome, I can't tell it's even there. I was going to get an aussie but they don't have one for the V-6. I heard good and bad about Lockrights, but 904 likes his. Good luck with your decisoin.

I have an Aussie in the rear of mine and love it. I've only had a chance to go on one "real" trail with it so far but it worked like a charm. My rig is a DD/camping vehicle that's been built on a budget and the Aussie was the best buy for the money and the wheeling that I do IMHO. If I ever decide to lock the front I'll be dropping an Aussie in there also.

 

I didn't mean to scare you, Stagger!!!! I was just going by what I've read. What I meant by the Aussie being a lil cheaper, I just meant for the wallet, not in quality. I've read good things 'bout both lockers. I'd love to get an Aussie for my BEAST, but they don't make 1 for my v6. So I'll be looking into either a Lockright, or the Toyota E-locker.

Sorry for not making myself clearer!!!!!

And your welcome for the Aussie review bump, Matt!!!

 

So...Any of you v6 owners ever thought about getting a 2pinion rear third with the same gear ratio as your 4 pinion shoving it in the back of your truck with an aussie, I always thought about that for you...3.slow guys...
didnt know if that would work or not, but it sounds right in theory..?

 

No worries dude! I am still waiting for the reviews from scuba. I still have not heard/read a bad thing about the Aussie other then from the delirium's I wheel with. I searched google even for Aussie problems/failure and turned out to be install error.

 

Sounds good in theory, Scuba. I've thought 'bout that as well, I just don't know if the 2 pinion would be strong enuff for the v6.

But after getting stuck up here once, I'm investing in a locker....

 

The v-6/Turbo is very similar to the 4 cylinder unit the main differences is that the 3rd member housing is thicker and has more ribbing, 4 pinions and the carrier bearings are bigger.

Like freak said, I don't think that the 3rd from a 4 cylinder would be able to stand up to the V-6 over time.

 

See i don't know. I have only run the v6 diff. When i SAS mine soon i am looking at a differential currently a 4cyl with a detroit ez locker. So same principles as the other lunchbox lockers, and we will see how it holds up.

 

Did someone mention lockers?

Woot woot. I'm excited to get this thing in.

 

hah, got one of those on the way as well...
Should be here on the 2nd !!

 

my brother is running my old 4cly 4.56 3rd that i had when i first did my SAS.... hasnt had any issue with it yet... but its open.
