v6 Aussie locker?

So is there an aussie locker for the v6 3rd?

It looks like the only 89-95 rear 8" locker available is for the 4cyl.

whats going on?

So they dont have them available yet?

I just wanted to know since I have to take out my rear 3rd to fix a leak so I wanted to throw a locker in but I am hesitant to go with a lockrite..
Heard aussie's are really nice..

i am not sure i don't have a 4 pinion rear. i just rember someone talking about them a little while back. i am considering puting in an aussie my self if my current plans dont happen.

i have been searching and searching and serching for some one with a bitch, gripe or complaint and the only one was a guys wouldn't unlock and when he draind the diff (front) it had a thick mud/gear oil mixture. and after he replaced the fluids it worked perfectly.

aussie does how ever only carry a 2 year warrenty compared to lock-rights life time. that being said i would still go aussie.

i guess if you truely wanted to you could find some one with a 4 cyl 3rd and use that

Thank you for your interest in the Aussie Locker. The V6 model is in
production at this time and we are waiting for a ship date from
Australia.

I got the same responce in May from them, I ended up putting in a Lock-rite. I'm happy with it and it's the single best off road mod I have made to my 4runner.
