Aussie.  I broke my lockright the first trip out.  Got an Aussie instead and never had a problem.

Almost identical but after running both I'd say the Aussie is better quality...

'82 pickup, +3, locked, doubled
'82 pickup, IFS long travel, V8
'85 4runner, V8 rock crawler
'88 X-cab, V6

Check northridge4x4.com and randys ring and pinion, I think they have the best prices.  I don't think the aussie goes for more than $250 normaly.
Full hydro, 186:1 with an auto and 44's what could go wrong??

i didn't find one on northridge, but the price direct from aussie is $249.  sounds like a good price to me.  thanks again for the replies.

Aussie :thumbs:

Have a lockrite in the front, when it goes, I'm going with an aussie

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free. "
