is an aussie locker drop in or do you have to adjust.

i was curious if an aussie locker was a straight drop in mod or if i would end up adjust my backlash and such. i have the 8.4 rear end with 4.56 gears. non elocker obviously

 

bump

 

No all lunchbox lockers are straight drop in, no need to adjust backlash.

 

koo koo hopefully once i get my tax rreturn i can purchase one of these bad boys

 

I heard they were very easy to install. Go for it!

 

i didnt see any for the 8.4 rear on their website? where are you buying one? im curious because they look pretty good

 

look up the locker for the landcruiser. it uses the same rear axle. they call it an 8" rear though. same thing as a 8.4"

 

good to know, thanks

have you looked at the powertrax lockers? Any benefits of the aussie over the lock-right or noslip

 

i guess just the no-slip doesn't pop and make funny noises. the powertax is pretty much the same. im just gonna go with an aussie cause from what i have read it will perform the same as either of the powertrax offraod.

 

just to be clear, their website shows the land cruiser rear as an 8.875 or 9.5" R.G.

the front is an 8" but will that work in the rear of our trucks?

 

seems like the the older 8" carrier is different though, so the spider gears/lunch box locker might be different...

 

well here is the link let me do some hunting here on tw. im sure ill figure out which is which. i still think this one is correct:

I think you need to mark and make sure you place the washers, shims and bearing caps on the correct sides or it will be off from original. Whatever came off the right side needs to go back on the right and same with the left.

 

You don't have to remove the carrier with the lunch-box lockers. Therefore no adjustments with the shims or bearing caps...

 

Bump for this.

what did you find out??
