I have an Aussie Locker in front and a Detroit Soft Locker in the rear of my 2nd Gen 4Runner.

The Soft Locker is cool, no noises and you get used to very quickly, but the Aussie is awesome, no tire noise on closed turns, smooth...

Email them, one might be in the works. They only list one for the front on 95-04 tacos. so I emailed and they said one would be out sometime this year for the rear. (Did I already post this info in this thread?)

I ordered the Detroit EZ locker from my post above. I installed it myself
this past Sunday - took me about 4 hours but I was changing to the longer brake lines and also learning as I went. throw several beer's in there too !

My runner is automatic - so the locker is not very noticeable on the street.
I managed to make it pop one time but I was driving in circles in a grocery store parking lot. Other than the pull on the steering wheel when you gas it turning at a stop light - You will never know that it is there

I have not had a chance to wheel with the rig yet but I will be at Tellico next week for the 4 runner Jam. I was expecting a lot more noise and quirks -
and maybe to swap this thing in and out just for wheeling trips. With the
unexpected manners of this locker - it will stay in my daily driver !

Great price and not that hard to do ! I'm sure that I'll have more to add after next week.

I'd rather they take their time then rush out a product with problems-I know install is supposed to easy, but I'd still rather not have to do it more times than necessary. That said, I'm still anxious for them to finish the locker for my truck as well!
