I'm confused. I thought the Lokka was a domestic rebrand of the Aussie. The Lokka still comes from down under?

To whom it may concern - I'd like the ability to edit all my posts reactivated please. That is all - Thank you. :D

Aussie in the 8.25 on mine - works great, easy install, priced right. Can't go wrong IMO.

The lift came with LCAs right?

Yeah - we could have. No need to though - the welds are are plenty strong enough - they aren't goin anywhere.

lol - just got my stiffeners in last Saturday. My brother did the welding - he took a shot in the ear. He didn't like it. :D We had a fluxcore. Rosettes/stitch welds. It burned through the unirail pretty quick in a couple spots but it worked well.

Got the stiffeners burned on, primed and top coated this past Saturday. It is quite a project and I'm glad I did the majority of the prep a few days prior. I failed to get any pics of the process but in a nutshell: put the rig on jackstands f/r and get the wheels off and outtta the way; the more...

Spent the other day on the interior with a wirewheel and heavy grit sanding wheel and the grinder. Like I said before - the driverside floor is the area that has the cancer. There are some minimal spots elsewhere but under the rear, outboard base of the driver seat is the worst. Area under...

Haven't posted here in a long time. Not much going on build wise lately. Last week I scored a pair of TnT unistiffeners that I need to get installed. Been wheelin it out on the trails. Went just this weekend and my brother got behind the wheel for most the day while I rode shotgun, spotted...

This would be my starting point as well. You like the 4.56? Would you stay there or do 4.88?

You're joking right? The term "lunchbox locker" comes from taking the internals out of the carrier and replacing them with the locker. The carrier is the lunchbox that has been repacked with a better lunch. :cool: My Aussie was a very easy install in my C8.25.
