They have performed perfectly and as advertised, and I couldn't be happier with them. Even bought a set and installed them in my sister's Cherokee. Problem is First thing I did notice was the handling at speed whether in 2 or 4wd was a little different. Slightly more responsive actually.
I put the DPS to minimum and I adapted. No issues all day. I by no means was easy on this machine today and had 0 failure or complaint.
The locker did what it was supposed to, was silent as a mouse and improved the Maverick's capability all around. To say the Dana 30 Aussie Locker does its job is an understatement. While it had been doing its job happily for about 4 years of recreational wheeling, racing is a whole other animal on an Ultra 4 style vehicle. The task we began to ask of that front end was something it hadn't seen before or been built for.
There is no way that something priced hundreds of dollars less than your typical auto lockers, air lockers, etc. Not to mention how easy it was to install, and the best part of it all, it made right here in the U.
I just got home from the Rubicon Trail, a place where performance and reliability are second to none, and I am more than impressed with my Aussie Locker. Never having done an install of a locker I was surprised at the ease of the install process.
The locker is not noticeable during normal street driving except during low speed turns when you will hear it click. I run Aussie Lockers front a rear in my dana 30 front and dana 44 rear it is by far my best upgrade and amazing product! Will always and only buy Aussie!! The install was done on the garage floor with regular hand tools and no specialty tools required. The benefits were immediately apparent the first time off road.
The front locker in the my JKU makes it a whole different vehicles, as the longer wheelbase often made it possible to get my front end up on obstacles. The Aussie locker now made it possible to get over those obstacles. After four years it still performs and has had zero issues.
I bought 2 Aussie lockers for my jeep in and I wanted to report to you how happy I am with them. I think that my Aussie lockers perform better then any of the selectable lockers that are common in my local club. I think the automatic ratcheting of the outside tire in a turn makes for superior traction compared to a locker that allows no differentiation when engaged.
Also, last year I even broke an axle shaft while doing something fairly unadvisable and that Aussie locker was unharmed! Father Son Install It was fun, we got some help from a buddy who has done a number of them. Really only used the instructions once to be sure we had the parts aligned right.
My son is itching so much to really try it out. The front does the same when in 4wheel and under torque in a turn but That is, allow for how they affect the vehicle under torque. When turning, accelerate enough before the turn to coast thru the turn then accelerate out of the turn.
I took it out last weekend to give it a whirl. This is not a mod you should do to your mothers vehicle, it clicks and at times will snap pretty good during parking lot maneuvers. Some owners may find it annoying but I don't mind it at all knowing the traction I have at my finger tips.
Very happy. You rated it 2 stars for working? The U joints were the weak point so rate them poorly, not the locker. Aussie locker max tires? I have a cj7 4. I had 35 inch BFgoodrich muds and I tried to get out of a little mud pit, very slowly I drove my left wheel against the wall and tried to get out, then I heard a snap and my u-joint broke!
A few weeks later again now the other side again my u-joint broke off. I've de-installed 35 inch tires because I think that Aussie - 35 inch are a bad combination.
So far, so very very good! I have not tested it on trails yet, but so far I am as pleased as I can be with it's quiet performance.
I do not hear anything from it unless I go somewhere quiet and slowly do very tight circles Engage the T-Case and it is amazing You can feel her pulling far more than you ever could with the old open diff. I can't wait to go trail riding!! Will update hopefully soon. But from what I can tell so far my YJ is now unstoppable. Obstacles I used to worry about are now laughable with this upgrade.
I have stock tires and stock suspension. Go buy some and be impressed. Broke center pin Then ate my pinion gear limping out! So, when my one year old Aussie locker failed on a jeep trail DEEP in the Idaho Rockies I was a little concerned there was a 18 mile hike in my near future! I have 5.
The truck is not abused, so the failure was a shock My jeep is used as a daily driver they do not eat up my tires. I take it offraod twice a month on up to 4. They do click though but it is an attention grabber. You will break OEM u-joints and axles first.
Pros: -Strong. I beat on it pretty good. Cons: -Reduced maneuverability when in 4wd. I wanted 4. Nothing was available for the 29 spline 8. Now that I'm all done building my 8. Let us know how you like the locker so I can cry about it a little more. Nice job by the way. November 9th, , I have only had ARB's in the past on my other Vehicles, just how loud are these Aussie lockers when turning? Is it kind of like a bad CV axle on a front wheel drive car or?? Do they unlock easily?
Its a great price compared to ARB , and the ease of installation looks to be the ticket. Nice write up, Thanks! Originally Posted by stumpXJ. Northwest Mass.
