Who's in NJ? Where?

I'm actually sad I'm loosing my aussie with the SAS. I'm going to be getting two probably, one for the 9" and one for the D44. I'm not a huge fan of selectable lockers, as said, and the aussie unlocks/locks smooth enough to not even bother me. Yeah, at low speed when backing/turning out of a parking spot if you have the window down you can hear "clickclickclickclick" as it unlocks, but hell, that just proves that it's doing it's job.

I thought about just throwing a $250 Aussie in the front, but I worry about snappin CVs

what do you guys feel is better for wheeling and getting thru more? locker in the front or the back? i am definitely getting at least one this month, but not sure which i should get? mine is a dd but i dont mind clicking lol

When I'm done my SAS I'll have all of my current parts for sale. Aussie Locked 8.8 with 3.27 gears, all my lift parts, etc.

definitely let me know, i am very interested as long as you dont have the drop plate design! where is the cheapest place to get an aussie locker?

I must say, when in 4 lo, that sucker pulls. I can't remember which way, I think it's to the left. I'm assuming it's because of the unequal length shafts? I think it pulls right. Not too hard, but if you let go of the wheel it'll bring you where it wants to go, rather than returning to center. 4hi, not really noticeable, prob'ly because the axle disconnect is not engaging except when needed.

Oh yeah, haven't snapped a CV yet. And Kevin, for simple ease of installation the rear would be better, but I've heard tons of guys swear by having one in the front if you can only get one. I'm happy right now because I don't know it's there until I'm wheelin. And you KNOW it's there. It WORKS. That's why I've been hesitant to put an auto locker in the rear. I don't wanna know it's there until it's needed. But heck, for a couple hundred it's much more worth it than the selectables.

great thanks man! i think i may get a rear this week and a front next month, i decided the lockers are way more important then a lift right now. 6" of lift does no good with open diff's lol. whats the best site to order an aussie

You are so right. We all want to look cool w/ big explorers and big mud tires, but to tell the truth, two lockers would beat the crap out of any lifted mud tired rig running open diffs! So true! All bark and no bite, literally!!

I think I got my right from them.

Now I'm looking on their site. Which one works in the IFS 2nd gen explorer? Is it the one they have listed for the Ranger? I thought that there was one just for our situation. I have it so I know there was one. Discontinued?

He's been a couple times! He's only 17 months tho. And with the weather this cold, I ain't risking it. Who knows tho...

 

[SuddenDeath]

Like I said, I'll be out at wharton every month, last sunday of the month. Hell, if all goes well, this will be my last trip running TTB.

I hope some of ya make it out, would be nice to see some other explorers out on the trails with me. I'm always outnumbered by heeps and chebbys and other trucks.
