Aussie locker
« on: May 09, 2005, 07:43:02 PM »
What do yall think of the Aussie locker? For $240 a pop it seems like a good deal. My truck is mostly a huntin/fishin rig that get's to play too. Compared to like a Richmond Powertrax (over $400) it seems like a good deal? Thanks yall.

ive had mine in the rear for almost a year, trail tested with 33's many times. didnt matter how hard i was on it, it never let go on the trail. on the street its not bad either, much better than a detroit, at first it sticks a little bit, but after a few weeks it unlocks around turns very nicely and can hardly tell that its back there. the easiest way for it to unlock is to take a corner with the clutch in and keep pressure off of the center pin, if you try to power through it, it will stay locked and drag the inside tire.
